Main thing that I know is that the 09 manual transmission is far superior in ease of shifting than the 07 trans. Especially going into first at a stop light. It was changed in 08.

The 09 Z will have the larger dry sump reservoir first introduced with the ZR1.
Someone will have to confirm this but the 09 Z06 might also have gotten the engine coolant cooled engine oil cooler that the ZR1 LS9 engine is equipped. Far superior design than the air cooled oil cooler in cold ambient weather.

For the $9,000, I would do the '07. There's nothing inherently wrong with the '07 trans, in spite of some improvements in the newer one. Drive it and see if it is hard to get into gear. I've driven a number of C6s with the T56 and have never encountered one that didn't work fine. The mileage difference is meaningless.
