Default New Corvette lover from SoCal

Hey everyone! My name is Matt and I recently moved to SoCal from NY. I've always loved corvettes thanks to my parents. I am 25 years old and am researching C7 models for purchase in the coming months. My dream is a White Z06 with red leather and targa top, but that's going to be out of my price range. I now focus my attention on the Z51 models, and was hoping for some input on what variation is the best buy, and also if buying a used 2014 would be better than going new. Just to add on, I have never owned a corvette before. Thanks for allowing me to introduce myself!

welcome to the forums Matt!

FWIW, I would lurk in the C7 General Discussion forum and soak up the knowledge.

Thanks guys! I can't stop lurking lol I'll have to do more digging, but Chevy has done a pretty bad job at their comparison of models on their website (at least via phone browser).
