Looking into a Corvette... manual of course.
Not sure I should look for used or not C7

Debating what to get:
ZR1, not worth it.

debating
1. Z06 base + Performance Data Recorder
2. GrandSport base + Performance Data Recorder


debate1:
There is an 18k$ difference between both and to my understanding, the only diff is the engine.
Is it worth it, given that in both cases, I'll probably end up going for more power... the GS for sure, the Z06, just a matter of time.

debate2:
Also debating getting the z07 package (carbon brakes)... or just go after market high end steel brakes with better stopping power.
Comes with the magnetic ride suspension... or should i just go w valved or adjustable Penske race coil-overs?

Things for sure:
Getting cage
Getting real bucket seats
Getting full aero package (LG seems to have a good one)
upgrade transmission to PPG-t56-H or PPG-t56-sequential (thinking more sequential)

What would you guys do ?
Thanks,
