I would suggest a 1lt z51 will range to 59 grand..IMO/QUOTE]
Back in 2007 I paid $43.440 for a new 2007 C6 1lt MN6 Z51 with premium color (VY). If your suggestion is right, it'll be a difference of $15.560, around 35% more of what I paid 6 years ago.
Is this car worth 35% more? I don't think so.

Gotta compare apples to apples. What was your MSRP? If you don't like that, what did the 2005 version of your car cost when the C6 first came out?

That quote is not mine...I don't have a yellow corvette....
The msrp jumps up a few hundred a year so take that as a guideline. Often times an option becomes standard or visa versa..
The bottom line is my suggestion is don't sweat the c7 price increase...it will be minimal as long as we associate the c7 z51 with the price increase of the c6 coupe to grand sport model..
If I remember correctly my 2008 c6 z51 1lt with NPP MSRP was ~ 50 grand...
If we take into account all the now standard features of the new stingray we will see the pricing is appropriate...
Many new standard features used to be optional....so we will have to figure some price increase on the new model...ie telescoping steering wheel..
None of us like price increases yet I believe the value for us will still exist and the price increase will be minimal considering what's included that used to be optional if even available...
Worst case scenario....wait a few little longer to purchase....
If I remember correctly...by the time I figure my cost of ownership...it translates to probably 250 to 300 a month considering length of pleasurable ownership and residual value...
I think owning any corvette is more than worth the cost of ownership.
An A ticket ride for sure...

Well, lets compare apples to apples. MSRP was $47.440. I had got $4000 discount. If it's 59K screw GM with the new car, I am buying a C6 again, used.

[QUOTE=eurostyle;1582962688]I also bought a 2207, 1LT, but not a Z51. At least using MSRP you are making a fair comparison. A buddy of mine paid $5000 over MSRP for his 2005 because a lot of people were paying that at the time. At least here we are all aware of dealers (Forum sponsors) where a C7 won't be over MSRP, even the first day they are available.

Like I mentioned earlier...the z51 c6 is not really comparable equipment wise to the c7 z51......
IMHO
The grand sport c6 coupe is more comparable equipment wise to the c7...Z51
And I also have a c6 LS3 z51
Remember none of us including GM have definitive pricing yet on the c7 or any of it's option packages

Some cheap a$$ whiners on here that don't know the value of high quality products!
Quit bitching about a $60K base C7....the car is worth much more than that! This car would be priced just fine even if it started at $85K+!!

Big deal....did it ever occur to you that GM wants to price it out of the market for this group.
Higher profit margin per unit is definitely a good goal. Fewer sales will enhance the desirability and resale value.
Why would GM want to price it for the lowest common denominator?

I love the folks comparing the base C7 with Z51 package, which then is no longer the base car, with GS pricing to justify the $60K price.
I am bookmarking this "great??" thread to see who is correct once GM announces the MSRP of the base C7 coupe. Arrogant *** that I am, I'll take my $53K as being a LOT closer than the 'mere' $60K (thus keeping out the riff-raff) being tossed about by the H-Rs.
