The silly things that drag it down for me (and I do mean silly).

2. Interior is quite a step down.
3. No Android Auto (I did say silly but I'm pretty well spoiled by Android Auto now).
4. I was always enamored by the looks of the C6 Z06 and ZR1 until the C7 Z06 came out and now I just feel like they look so dated.

If I wasn't so picky, I do agree this would be a great choice -- the car is still excellent despite being 10 years old.
They are somewhat pricey, but they are about half the price they were when new. And most owners keep them as garage queens, so odds of getting a mint specimen are pretty good. I get the interior thing, but every time I see pictures I think meh. Then in person, it seems much nicer than pictures let on. Definitely much more interior room than the new C7's. They seem to be aging better than the C7's to, IMHO.

Good luck with whatever you choose. I hope the next toy is rock solid!
