Yes, I went from uncertain to putting a down payment on one from a forum dealer.

Right now or in the future? Do you have need for the rear seat?

I enjoy my C6-Z06, C5 vert and my old Stingray (will never sell this one), and my F-GT , The rear end/lights and the front hood vent did me in on the C-7, I'm out.

Yes. I was looking at C6 for sale threads every day until the C7 was announced. Now I just look at pictures of sad basset hounds until the C7 for sale threads start. I want the C7 now.

There are tons of upgrades that I love over the two.
That's how I feel, but it may be a few years in the making.

Was looking at getting an early C6z06 this year to go alongside my FRC. Now I will save up for the next couple of years, and buy a 2017 C7 Z51 package and do the famous Museum Delivery.

Another thing that was in the back of my mind is do I supercharge my C5. I paid it off recently and have ZERO car payments, I love that freedom but if I go the C7 route I will have to be making some for a couple of years and that doesn't sit too well with me but if I supercharge my C5 it may bring some new excitement into driving it and I won't have any payments. It would then be suffice until I can find a cheaper C7.
nah, get the c7, you only live once.

All to be sold off at market price within the next 15 months and WE ALL want it to turn out to have been a GOOD INVESTMENT, don't we? Are you old enough to remember the old saying, "What's good for GM is good for the United States"?
