C6 auto GS or C6 Manual z06

I’m looking for my forever car. The car that sits in the garage when Ive gotten more cars. My first car was a 2013 c6 GS in auto inferno orange. I don’t get the butterflies from it anymore but nonetheless it is a great car. I’m starting to want a black manual just because I hear they’re more fun and also the black paint will look good with any wrap option. If I wrap my inferno orange car it’ll always be some orange showing which just kind of looks tacky.

Should I keep my auto grandsport and dump money in it on things like repaint, manual swap, engine build or should I commit to finding a z06. Another thing is as I said earlier I’m looking for a forever car and I hear that ls7s are glass. I don’t want a glass engine in my forever car. Let me know what you guys think.
