Better is subjective. You should consider the LT3 package with Z51. Color and rims are your choice of course. The engine is still TBD from what I have followed. Most 05/06/07 owners love theirs.
Best of luck in your decision.

RE: about to buy a c6 any suggestions
I have a triple black 2007 Z-51 convertible withLt3 pkgwhich includesheads up display, pwr. telescoping steering wheel, heated seats, auto dimming driver side &rearview mirror, memory package, universal remote, steering wheel radio controls and in convertibles a pwr. top. Alot of which may seem unnessary, but from experience I like the HUDand radio controls on the steering wheelso you can control XM, CD and radio vol/presets without ever taking your eyes off the road/hands off the steering wheel.(imp. when a car is capable of this much power) Also I think the auto dimming mirror should be standard on all vehicles I absolutely love this feature ( esp. with how low you sit in a vette when a truck/suv comes up from behind in stop and go traffic at night, it works so well you can't believe it.)Otherwise the Z-51 package is great if you don't want to do your own mods. it has largercross-drilled breaks (they look and work great! ), quicker gear ratios and preformance-tuned tires, springs and shocks. Mine has chrome wheels which I prefer. I would be happy to answer any and all questions you may have. Good luck and enjoy.

RE: about to buy a c6 any suggestions
I'm in the market as well! I just have a few things I am pondering.....what do you guys think?
After I get and LT3 with the Z51, put exhaust, headers, wheels, and tune....I'll be around 60k or so.
Why not spend and extra 12 and get a Z06? I know it's a lot more, but that could be justified a little better with
my wife I think.
What are your thoughts?
