Sometimes I second guess myself and think about picking up a used C6 Z06 or wait it out a little bit and see what the C7 is all about. I will own a Vette one day and could go either route with the Corvette instead of the Camaro, but then I always come back to the ZL1. The ZL1 truly looks to be a special car and one of the last (and best) of a dieing breed. I want to keep this car for a very, very long time. There won't be anything quite like it in the future IMO.

Technology will advance and the Corvette will lead the way in the future as always. While performance and fuel economy will likely improve, the methods used to get there will IMO somewhat change the personality of the car. I'm much more willing to accept those changes on a future Corvette than a muscle car like the Camaro. I want my big displacement supercharged V8.

I still want to see what the C7 will look like. I have a slight fear of falling in love with it after I decided on the ZL1 and having a bit of buyers remorse. But with that said, I have little doubt that the ZL1 will not disappoint when it comes to providing that modern day muscle car experience that I want.

Maybe in about 5-10 years my ZL1 will have a stable mate in a new C7 or C8
