Both companies have done a great job with their respective entries. Neither would be the wrong choice. Both are great.

I actually don't need to "go away" since I am on various forums inc. that one and AFAIC I'm on topic... since after all, this specific thread is a forum comparison between the two and I'm providing some objective points, first hand experience, and concrete knowledge of the power plants I own/owned. Nothing wrong with intelligent/educated and respectful debates, right? Better than incorrect presumptions and suppositions... IMHO.
Personally, there is no need or desire for me to get a 6th gen SS since the C7 is better performance-wise to me. Why should I retract from a Z06 back to a 2SS? If anything, I'm looking forward to seeing the special editions or performance editions GM will reveal (e.g. the next ZL1 or the next Z/28). Those would be my targets to add to the stable...
If you reread my posts in detail, I also stated that the 6th gen is an excellent package... car of the year worthy. I had my 5th gen 2SS 45th Anniv for nearly 3 years which I daily drove plus tracked in stock form and just by seeing/reading about the 6th gen I can already see the huge improvements by GM especially with the all new interior. Loved my 5th gen, so I'm sure with all the improvements the 6th gen will be a better car as we are already hearing... the LT1 is a great motor. Performs very well on & off the track especially with all that torque down low. The only subjective part of the 6th gen I am not a big fan of is the rear fascia and that pedestal spoiler. But I still have as much vested interest in the new 6th gen variations as anyone else out there. Different strokes for different folks....
