Hey guys just joined the forum hoping to get some good advice on what to do. The problem is I am very picky when it comes to my cars and I am Looking to purchase a USED C6 Z06 in the near future(I sold my C5 Z 2 years ago) . The problems I am debating are:

1. Black ( Im pretty sure this is the color I want)
2. What year is best to get ? are there many differences besides the Magnetic ride control starting in (2010 I think)?
3. I really want the carbon model ground effects
4. I REALLY want the centennial black and microsuede W red stich interior

What should I do? I believe my best bet would be to get an 07 black, and then buy the carbon aero kit. but then I dont know what to do about the interior that I want

Please advise? any and all suggestions are welcome

Known problems:
-2006-2007 (early). Delamination of roof skin. Covered under recall. By this time most Z06s have had this issue taken care of.
-2007 VERY small batch problem with rocker arms coming apart. Don't even worry about it.
-2006-2007 Rear axle shaft breaking. GM revised axle shafts due to failures in 2006, and again in 2007. By 2008 the problem was fixed, although another upgrade came in 2010 when the Z06 got the asymmetrical axle shafts from the ZR1.

The differentials are all the same
