Ok, be honest! Who is considering selling their C6Z for a C7?
I've said numerous times that NOTHING will get in my way of keeping my 2006 Z06. Its like my first child. Its not a financial burden and its close to being paid for.
With that said, the ONLY reason I would sell it would be to purchase a C7. Now as we all know, when the C7 is announced, the prices for the C6 will take a hit in resale value. A bigger hit than a 2014 C6 would provide.
Who here is toying around with selling there Z06 to buy a C7?
Obviously we know next to nothing about the C7 right now but my money is on it being a smash hit all across the board.

I love my 06 Z06 also. It only has 10,000 miles on it (2,500 by the 1st owner, 7,500 by me in the last 14 months). I guess I'll just have to wait and see after the C7 is out for a couple of years. I always keep my old Corvettes and move the newer one every couple of years but this Z06 is a different animal.
If the C7 Z06 is lighter, faster, more fuel efficient and looks better I would be tempted. Won't buy the 1st year though. Made that mistake with a new 05

Not I, love my 427 ci Z, and I don't think we will ever see another 427 ci engine in a vette, making our Zs EXTRA special!

Unless the C7 is REALLY spectacular, I'll be keeping my 09 Z06 until ????????
I'm betting the C7 will use the C6 chassis but have a 5.5L direct injection engine with new body panels and interior like they did with the new 1968 C3.

Nope. My 09' Z06 is the last corvette I'll ever buy. Not because I don't like it, but the opposite. It already does everything I want and expect it to do. I've owned 6 corvettes in my life, and I don't see any reason why I need to move on to a 7th. Maybe I'm getting old, but I don't have the fever for sports cars like I've had most of my life.
Next car purchase will be a sedan, probably a BMW 5 series.

There are 3 reasons why I would get a C7:
- Lighter with equal or more power
- Slightly heavier with considerably more power (20%+)
- If it came with Adriana Lima on the pass. side - ok, fine, maybe not - but if the car looked more appealing than my current Z06 and had any of the 2 reasons above, I would pull the trigger. Looks alone would not do it for me though...
Not necessarily in that order.

Not for a C7.....but seriously considering a ZR1. The only thing stopping me is my laundry list of mods and the aggravation of selling them. If it weren't for that I think I would all ready be in one.....

C7 only if the 427 survives sold my 67 big block in 1972 took to 2006 to make another 427. Can't wait that long again i'm 68.

I have the car that I want. Only thing better would be to have another one colored Atomic Orange.
