I would assume based of new vette prices being around $54,000 in my area atleast fully loaded I would say another at least $10 to $15K so maybe $65K - $70K
I hope its not 65-70k. If it is, GM is going to lose out on the appeal of the car, IMO. Especially when thats a 15-25k increase over the price of the previous car. Yeah its got some different features, and more power but holy **** is that crazy.

When I worked for a Chevy dealer, we got an 03 Z06 and an 03 50th vert in, neither were over the 55k mark. Both stickered for about 53, and we were selling the Z for around 51, and there wasnt a markdown on the 50th due to the fact it was a 50th. But the C6 is supposed to MSRP below C5 MSRP, but we all know how dealer markup and "new car" prices go. Not saying this is the norm, but offering the Z for 70k is just retarded even for a dealer who may recieve 2 Corvettes a year.
Maybe initially the Z will be ~60k, but putting it in that price range is just killing the appeal, IMO. The affordability was one thing that made the Z06 so well recieved. It offered Viper, Porsche and Ferrari performance for 30-150k less. There's a ton of new engineering in the Z06 but DAYUM, 65-70k for the Z is just crazy to me.

There's like 500 threads of the same pics. Seen them on the SVT boards too. Except instead of bitching about the price, they're bitching about it still being a "dime a dozen" Corvette that could possibly be a threat to Fords 200+k Supercar the GT.
