ZR-1 Sales
I was following the ZR-1 for Sale Thread and got closed out from it. I can never quite figure out how all this works. I was curious to see how others reactec to the $130,000 sales price given the much higher numbers discussed on other threads.
Again, not knowing the rules, but now having at least one dealer offer the ZR-1 at $130,000 - and maybe a minute or two before my thread is destroyed (again, not understanding the difference between the aforementioned thread and all others), others could chime in.
I am definitely postponing buying a ZR-1 (is that slandereous or what?

You can't go beyond what isn't advertised on the forum.
Humor fits in there too, so don't make too many jokes.

Time is money brother.
Take your time save some money.

It is apparent to me that the ZR-1 may not sell as well as some believe. Economic conditions and gas prices will adversely affect sales.GM may risk losing a loyal customer base by "market pricing" the ZR-1.* IMO the dealers should get as many ZR-1's into the hands of enthusiasts as possible. Even those with money will not ignore the fact that a Z-06 now sells for about 30% less than it did when introduced (when priced over MSRP) 2 years ago. The story of the ZR-1 is likely to be very similar. Best

After agonizing over this for sometime, I am asking myself why I want a ZR-1? I own a (supercharged) Z-06 that is as fast. The Z-06's 30% price turnaround in less than 2 years fortells what will happen to the ZR-1 if not sooner. Seeing the ZR-1 in person reveals a "patchwork" roof, and "tacked" on carbon fiber aerodynamics.
GM should be doing all it can to get the car into our hands, if for no other reason, to promote "made in the USA", but instead appears to be disrespecting those who have been loyal to the brand. Best

An addenum to earlier post. It seems my decision making may not matter. Just out of curiousity I called the two dealers I am listed #1, and was told they have heard nothing about a ZR-1. From what I have read on this forum, those who will be receiving an allocation have been notified already. Best

The rep also claimed that the total number to be produced is also not set. Seems like finding out the straight story is currently impossible.

It is truly amazing how much conflicting information is being floated on the Forum now. 
The only source of information I will come close to believing will be from our Forum Supporting Dealers.

I contacted my dealer today. He contacted his GM rep. According to my dealer, the rep told him that there has been no official word sent out about allocations. Allocations are yet to be determined. The rep also claimed that the total number to be produced is also not set. Seems like finding out the straight story is currently impossible.
