Just to clarify, that might be the price as tested for the base model Corvette but that is NOT what their base price is (roughly $46k MSRP) and you can of course get a new Corvette for a little as $42k right now.
430hp in a 3200 pound, 190mph, 30mpg car, not too shabby.

Closer to $90k++ actually I think.
And I agree.
