My guess msrp will be over $100k and the first 100 or so will go to buyers paying $150k.

Man that thing looked smooth going around the track.

To me it looks too much like a Z06...if it is going to be $100K+ Corvette it needs to have some seperation from the regular Z06 in its looks..It probably will not make any difference poeple will probably pay $200K for the car since it is being produced in a 1500 unit per year production run..my guess is the market will be crazy on this car when it is released..should debut at Detroit Auto Show second week in January.

What I find particularly amusing is the fact that all the Chevy boys were pissy when Ford come out with a Supercharger Mustang ('03-'04 Cobra) that was whoopin' *** all day and all night for three years. Now that Chevy has jumped on the bandwagon... the Chevy boys couldn't be happier. Just an observation. ;-) Definetly a nice car though.
