Price? Sounds like a lot of hot cakes.

that's a given with just about any american sports car. its just one of those things you gotta overlook...you just gotta think "well, if im able to get from point a to point b faster, i dont have to stare at this crap interior for very long."

I agree. Speaking from experience the interior of the C6 is not very nice, especially the seats.

Decent car. However, this car doesn't seem to have a purpose or a market. What is the reason for its existence? the price difference between a z06 and a zr1 is not too big. this car will be priced somewhere between the two, so price wise it is even closer to the zr1 than the z06 is. now, why would any potential buyer choose this car instead of paying a few thousand more to get the top of the line zr1?

precisely my point. unless it's aggressively priced, somewhere very very close to the z06, buyers will likely just cough up a few thousand more for the zr1. of course, on the other hand, if they do price it more closely to the z06, then this car will make the base z06 irrelevant. that would probably be the only logical solution, price this carbon edition just a few thousand above the z06, and discontinue the base z06 altogether.

I was hoping to read something about the weight savings from fiberglass to CF?

ZR1 MSRP = $110,300 That over a $35,000 split.

Corvette needs a makeover.
It's looked virtually the same for the last decade it seems.....

I strongly disagree that it looks virtually the same. However, it does NEED a make-over, and GM's "special edition" models just aren't going to keep cutting it. We need a C7, and it better not be a flop or "C6.5".

It has identical suspension. Identical bodywork/aero. Identical cooling system. Identical brakes. Different engine/clutch/1/2-shafts, as I understand it. So, gonna pay another $20K for those 3 seconds on the 'ring time? Definitely not "priced too close". With C6 corvettes, MSRP is one of those things that a serious buyer won't even glance at. It's invoice or below, or you carry your *** to a dealership that will do it. |
