I always buy the 1st year of a new toy; I bought the C6 (Z51) when it came out in '05, the Ducati 1098 in '07 and recently the '12 ZL1. While it is cool to be the only kid on the block with a new toy for a few months I've learned that valuable upgrades always happen and bugs are always fixed in subsequent years. With all this new technology and a new engine the C7 is bound to have some issues to fix and upgrades will undoubtedly be made. Personally I would lose a Ton of $$ if I sold my ZL1 for a stingray this year but I may get one down the road once I see how well everything is working and maybe the Z06 will tickle my fancy more than the Z51 stingray anyway
