I really hope it doesn't look like that.
FWIW Motor Trend or some other magazine already tested the gt500 against the ls2 corvette. The corvette beat it in every area as far as I can remember. Of course this is magazine stuff we are talking about, but still.

It happened at the chevy dealership about 5 miles from my house. They got a Black Z06 new in their showroom and I saw it the day it came in a the price was 92K...thats not the msrp on the car and even with a little price adjustment due to the rarity of the cars it still shouldnt be that high IMO. Its not like the car is at auction and people are bidding on them and driving th eprices sky high, the dealers just know the cars are in demand and jack up the prices accordingly. If people are willing to pay the prices then hey good for the dealers but dont blame the public as say its their fault.
Keep in mind the MSRP is the Manufacturers SUGGESTED retail price.

Right, im not saying its strictly anyones faul. Im just responding to the other guys comment on how it is the consumers fault the price is so high because they are paying insane amounts of money for them. Im an economics major and have my masters in finance so I understand how supply and demand works and I understand that there will be a mark up due to the demand for the Z06 and the rarity of the car, but thats quite a hefty tag to put on a car whose msrp is around 70-75K. Not saying its anyones fault in particular, but it sucks that some dealers are putting outrageous price tags on the Z06's when Ive heard of other people getting them for only a little over the MSRP. If people are willing to pay the asking price then all the power to the dealer but I just think some of them are pushing it asking for over $100K for a Z06, but again thats JMO.
