The 2011 models of the Corvette will be at the C5/C6 Birthday Bash at the National Corvette Museum this week, April 29 - May 1, 2010. The should have representations of Coupes, Convertibles, Grand Sports,
Z06's and the ZR1.

Prices can't go up too much if they want to sell vettes. Inventory levels have started going back up - about 4,500 cars as of yesterday. They had gone down to 3,000, but are back up again. The economy has made for a very soft market. We are approaching 400 ZR1's sitting at dealerships.

Raising prices would be foolhardy.

Here is Megan's note to me today---no 2011 ZR1 on display

"All we have on display today is a 2011 Grand Sport and 2011 Z06. I still haven’t heard if there will be a ZR1 here".

Should be popping up somewhere soon!

I'll be at the 2011 unveiling tomorrow at the NCM.

The agenda shows the 2011 presentation in the Chevrolet theater at 2:30pm and a walk around the actual car outside after the theater presentation.
