Default 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 priced at $78,995

2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 priced at $78,995

Want to get your hands on the most powerful vehicle GM has ever made? It may be time to call your bank manager, financial adviser and whoever else helps you get your monetary ducks in a row, because Chevy has now revealed pricing information for the new 2015 Corvette Z06.

Pricing starts at $78,995 for the coupe and $83,995 for the convertible. Both those figures include destination, but don't include things like tax, title, license and optional equipment. And as we revealed when the order guide surfaced, there is some enticing optional equipment on offer.

An extra $2,995 will get you the Carbon Fiber Ground Effects package with enhanced aero. $7,995 will get you the Z07 Performance Package with Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, upgraded tires and even more aggressive aero. There are three trim levels available and a host of other packages and options you can read all about in the press release below, from the Premium Package leather trim to the Performance Data Recorder.

No matter which way you set it up, though, you're getting a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with 650 horsepower and just as much torque. And though the price of entry may seem high, it comes down to a downright steal compared to the six figures Chevy got for the previous ZR1 (whose place the new Z06 effectively takes) and which Dodge gets for a new Viper.

That is LOT of car for the money. They basically just undercut used ZR1s with a faster car and a fresh warranty.

The car was already set to be a home run, but if things play out it might be a grand slam instead...

100% Agreed. And this will obliterate Viper sales without Dodge coming up with a whole new strategy. Can't wait for that used ZR1 market to realize this price point and drop their values!

This is a down right ridiculous value. The Z/28 is $75K and whoops up on other much more expensive vehicles. This Z06 is only a few K more and will certainly be showing the Z/28 what tail lights should look like!

I also can't wait for the C5 Z06 market to catch up. Can we say under $15K for a C5 Z06 soon?!

I bet you'll never find them for that price the MSRP on stingrays is mid 50k and they are selling for ridiculous prices like 70-80k. I bet these cars will end up over 100k loaded out.

Ive seen a Convertible Z51 fully loaded C7 Vette for 85k. How ever the Z06 is a different animal you get a lot more car for the same price and fully loaded it still shouldn't be in the 100k range maybe after tax, tag and title it will.

You would think that but the MSRP to markup on the stingray is around twenty to thirty thousand. So one would think that a 78k vehicle not fully optioned that has way more options such as supercharger etc. than the stingray, With a 20 to 30k mark up is going to be well into the 100k market.

This car is a SMASH! I don't want one(prefer no S/C) but it's definitely an animal and the rumors of a surprise S/C'd V10 Viper might become truth... if it's to compete.

Pricing is quite likely to exceed 100k w/ options... you can easily add over 30k in optional equipment to the standard Corvette, so it should be no shock.

It out performs a C6 Zr1 which was 100k+ car starting out. And you say the new z06 isn't a bargain when its still under 100k fully loaded? Suckers pay the dealer mark up only! Thats a fact, i know bc my dad makes a living selling cars and a damn good living at it too.

Well then you know its gonna be marked up like freaking crazy. You yourself said you saw a new stingray that they advertise for 55k on the Chevys website for 80k so tell me in what world you live in where the dealer isn't gonna make this car well over 100k being it's thirty thousand more dollars loaded out to 90k. There is no way they will not do the same thing to this car if they can do it to the other one and sell them at an alarmingly fast rate. This car will be more than. A new ZR1 and it may outperform the ZR1 but what we're they supposed to sell for new? I'm talking numbers here and if you think a 100 thousand dollar car is a bargain you got way more money than you know what to do with. Us poor folk will wait until it comes.down a little. Maybe your dad will buy one with all that money he makes.

I read that Dodge is kicking around the idea of supercharging the V10...

That's like saying my dad's a fighter pilot so give me a jet.
Wrong the MSRP was 85k for a fully loaded convertible z51 green vette, tan rag top. Now how much they sell on top of that (which is dealer mark up) is what SUCKERS pay...

Unbelievable. Dealerships will ruin the experience, but GM pricing on this car is insane. They could have put it at 90K base and it would have been a good deal.

And with all this fair market value cap that's what you will pay. And you may say it's for suckers but there is a reasonable amount of money they will take off the car everyone knows that. You said your dad makes a great living selling cars which let's me know it's an even bigger mark up when he is making a killing selling cars and the dealership owner is getting rich at the same time. I get the Ford X plan where I work and that's normally 5 to 6 thousand dollars off the vehicle off the top. 4 percent above what a Ford employee pays. This is off of a 25k car. You'll pay what they want you to pay or you'll go home.

I don't think you understand MSRP either. The new Corvette MSRP on chevrolets website is 58000 for a convertble. Loaded out what maybe 65 thousand. So we do our math and we have what class?? A twenty thousand plus markup.

Lol wrong just bc you dont know how to make a deal doesn't mean other people do. They will sell the car at MSRP bc they know others will pay the dealer mark up bc they are too stupid to negotiate a deal. Thats a fact, maybe you shouldn't talk sales when you clearly don't know what your talking about.

Clearly I don't know what I'm talking about considering quite a few people I know work at dealerships. But who gives a rats *** about that. You go to a carmax or a Honda dealership around here and try to make a deal. You live in Chattanooga to. You won't negotiate **** with them and you know that's true. Fair market value is what they stuff down your throat to keep you from negotiating price. I've bled Ford and Chevy dealers down on price even walked away to have them call back with lower offers. It's not hard it's how you play the game but they still will make a ton off it. As long as you think you win you're happy.
