Since most of you are experts on Corvettes. Any advice on certain years/models of the C6 Z06 to avoid because recalls or common problems?

The Z06 didn't go through as many changes as the standard C6. For the most part, later years have features and small extras not available on earlier models.

This thread is a few years old, but it should be a good starting point...
