Not sure what others think but here's my experience.
I upgraded from an '08 Z51 to a '16 Z06 last July. The 1st few times times I got on the Z06 I immediately lost traction. It was bad(unexpected) but no more so that the 1st few times I got on the Z51. The performance difference is incredible. It didn't take too long before I was pretty comfortable with the performance of the Z06 and was pushing it pretty hard. A month ago, a year after I got my Z06, I took the Corvette Performance class at Spring Mountain. During the class you really learn the capabilities of the Z06. After returning home, I believe I can push the car much harder while still maintaining better control.
Stingray or Z06? I think it's relative if you understand the performance & handling characteristics and capabilities of either of them and respect them.
Based on your profile, it looks like you have a Camaro V8. I would say that if you are NOT comfortable pushing that to the limit on a road course, straights and turns, then don't get the Z06.
