all years, not all cars, some came with a decent clearance on the valve

You are correct. I will rephrase. All C6 Z year models are susceptible to possible worn guide issues.

You almost persuade me to begin saving $10k to upgrade to a C6Z in a couple years when I can pick one up for $30k with less than 50k miles!

Personally I'm holding out for an inferno orange carbon edition C6Z. They've dropped 30k off the sticker price so far. Hopefully those guys keep on jumping ship for C7Z's and bring the price into my ballpark a little more. Not sure I could bring myself to get rid of my C5Z for it though. Guess I just need to start planning for a bigger garage.
