It is NEW.
I have such a hard time buying a USED PERFORMANCE MACHINE. I know how I drive, but I also know that just because I drive the shit out of my car, means that I take better care of my car. Is that something the previous owner did as well? You will never know unless you buy the car from a friend, then that opens up an entirely different nightmare situation.
The last sports car I bought used ('04 Z06 CE) drove me crazy. Every creak, moan and groan drove me crazy. I would be blasting through the gears and hear a creak, or squeal and get out of it, turn the radio down listening for ???? I am anal about my car's and that isn't something I ever want to go through again.
Now if it isn't going to be a DD and more of a play toy, then get the Z06, if it is something you are going to want to keep for a while, I'd get the ZL1.
It is hard to beat the look of either car. They are both in their own class as far as styling and wow factor. Everyone isn't going to know the difference between the Z06 and a regular Corvette, but even fewer are going to know the difference between the ZL1 and "Just an SS" Camaro.
You can get a 500 hp used Corvette that may have the crappy "used" warranty or remained or the factory warranty for a couple of days, or you can get the ZL1 and have 5 years /100k miles to not worry about it.
