what year C7 z51 is best in your opinion?

I have a 2014 so I'm biased...so 2014 Z51..
I have a 2015, but 2016 is when they introduced Apple CarPlay and the self-closing hatch, two features I wish I had.

Yes it is a handy feature - is there anyway to install a another stereo that has the CarPlay connectivity?

Not a simple answer in my opinion so had to “spoil the ballot”. 
2014 had an inaugural edition c7 corvette with OEM wheels (i have a brand new delivery take-off set of these wheels)
2016 added pilot features like Carplay and front nose cameras. (so I bought my 1st corvette)
2017 had a one-year colour (so I bought a spare c7 - kinda sorta)
2019 had the most desirable but impossible to get at MSRP ZR1 option that later became a
allocation issue (tried to get one with my name at dealerships across the country but nothing came through)
Best thing that GM left behind going forward from the c7 was the buyer’s choice of M6 or A8.
no doubt more to state but enuf for the post other than yes, a couple of c7 manufacturer issues that were easily remedied (at a out-of-warranty cost) but still no real best c7 year in my opinion.

thx but as stated i already have c7s and they are z51 so i am all good there.
the more desirable ‘19 zr1 is a completely different beast though and that “from factory” opportunity has come and gone … it is what it is … and am fine to move along.

The grand sport (wide body) is the way to go IMO.
2LT as a minimum for trim level.
2016 -2019.
For resale value, the 2019 with a stick will command the most dollars.

So is your vote based on the colour of the starter button? Asking for...well me I guess...

For those that even know what a clutch is these days ....
We got two each. I think you meant clutch pedal.

Just curious. In your Sig picture the car is red and your signature says Cyber Grey and the attachment picture shows an orange car ??
Supposedly he has 6 of them that use to belong to his dad.... and wants to sell them....
