Well that will probably be about 30k more than the one now. But you're probably just looking at a $10k to 15k bump. Which is fair considering the layout and that it will probably crush a Cayman to shreds? Possibly?
Yup... Im hearing 70k. But 60 to 70k is probably the safest bet as an entry.
For the power the LT1's are putting out now... I think that's more than fair with a 500hp LT2. And you'll have the next gen Camaro if the FR layout is still your cup of tea? I'm sure this will be like a Ferrari Italia for cayman prices. That's insane.

I think that mentioning Corvette and Ferrari in the same breath is ridiculous. A vette is a vette. And it”s a great car. The new one likely will be as well (although a lot of FR vette owners are going to buy one and kill it because then haven’t a clue about MR driving dynamics), but it is no Ferrari. It’s not a 911 either. It’s better than a Cayman, at Cayman prices and Chevy cost of ownership. Which is no small feat, and 50 years in the making. Only people who have never driven a Ferrari would make that comparison.
It will also have a mid-range interior, and start to fall apart like every other Chev does, at 50,000 miles. First the visor mirror cover will snap off. Then the seat motors and window regulator will die. Oh, and because it is a GM, it will lose a wheel bearing every 40K because that’s what you do when you are a GM. BTW, not saying that a Ferrari would fare any better in this respect - it likely wouldn’t although few ever see that kind of mileage.
