I'm willing to wait for my highly optioned Vert Z51 3LT as many are. Depending on what happens with what constraints and when, I may be looking at a '15 model. If I have to wait for a '15, maybe a ZO7, and they are coming out also as Verts, but then I'd probably have to wait until '16.

Not sure about a ZO7 gas mileage wise. I know, I know, if gas mileage even crosses my mind it probably is not the right C7 for me. Will the ZO7 even have cylinder deactivation? Then, there is the extra cost. But, my C7 is north of $75G, and so what is an extra $25G or so. Decisions, decisions.

Whatever I get I need by next September for a cross-county tour I have planned as a retirement gift to me along with the C7 in addition to other self-gifting where I already have lodging reservations in some national parks.

All this heavy pondering calls for another glass of scotch.
