I'm liking the idea of getting a 2012 C6, and then waiting a few years for the C7 to mature and get a Z07 (or whatever they call it), depending on what it's like.

I need to start doing research though, see if the C6 is really right for me. I'd like it for occasionally driving to work (maybe twice a week, at most), and going to 5-6 track events a year. Definitely plan on replacing the seats and getting harnesses. How is the C6 GS with track events? Any modifications needed?

/derailment!
No factory car is optimal for track events except maybe the Viper ACR. However, nothing really breaks on the corvette, if that's what you are asking. There isn't any weak-point to it that stands out beyond the seats, but again, all factory seats suck for serious track time.
