My '08 LS3 (built the 2nd day of the '08 production start) was faultless over the 14K miles I owned it. Cosmetically and mechanically. Mike here, and others can vouch for Corvette reliability. Hang around any car forum for a few years and it's essentially no different than here. A fair number of Whiners, anal retentive types, and conspiracy theorists hang out on all of them.. You need a good BS filter if you're gonna play on the intraweb...

The LS7 has known issues with snapping valves due to the oiling system, and the small contact patch of the valve-guide on the valve-stem. It over-heats and causes problems with guide tolerance on the exhaust side.
I have sat in a 370Z (now) and have sat in Z06's. The Z was much better made regarding interior quality and over-all "feel".
I am not a targa top fan, so the Z06 is the only one in the stable I would consider. ZR1 is slightly outside my budget.
