With proper maintenance, the C7 should last at least 40 years. Cars are built better these days with tighter tolerances and better materials.
Making a C7 a daily driver is possible and is done by many. Great looks, driveability, and great mileage.
Magentic ride is a must. Had it on my ZL1 and loved it!
Unless you're hopelessly in love with muscle cars, jump ship and get a C7.
