3 Z06ZR1

After seeing the laundry list of improvement's that everyone is talking about at this point over the base C-7! Wide body, carbon brakes, F/I, etc
I think the price goes over the 100 k mark to 120k then a serious dealer mark-up over MSRP!
Hello 130-135k!
Anyone care to predict the price!

They will sit just like the Vipers are.

I think it will start at 85k for the base(1lt, no carbon brakes) and then climb to 110k fully loaded. Maybe it will start at 90k but no way at 100k.

Yep

BAD_TCR

$99k for base just to squeak it in-- and then up from there. I'll have to wait a couple years for discounts or a garage queen :-(

The price will be the amount you can save by eating 30,000 meals from the Dollar Menu instead of the regular expensive Quarter Pounder combos.

I went through the exercise today to try to get a better handle on how much a C7Z06 might cost and how long I'd have to wait for a discount. I compared 2013 C6Z06 options to 2013 ZR1 options. You can find prices still on cars.com build your car 2013 Corvette.
Z06 Base $75600+Z07 $7500+MSR $2495+Carb Fiber. Opt $3995+ Carb. Fiber Hood $2495 = $92085. (Essentially A ZR1 with a 427 engine)
ZR1 Base $111,600. To get the additional cost of the LS9 engine &misc you get $111,600-$92085= $19515.
OK My assumptions are as follows:
C7Z06 Base will come with MSR, carbon fiber hood +LT4additional cost so I get
$75600+$2495+$2495+$10000 est.=$90590.
Additional options:
2LZ $4660
3LZ $8860
Z07 $7500
ZR1 Hi. Po package $1495
So I'd order a base 2lz for $95250
Add Z07, carbon Fiber option and Hi Po option your talking $108,240.
The big unknown is the additional cost of the LT4 engine. If it's 19,515K more like the ZR1 than my examples would range from $105,250-$117,755.
Hope it's the lower scenario but only time will tell.

C6Z06C6

100K+ and they fill fly off the lots. There is a lot more then the 110K price tag that is keeping the Vipers on the lots. The Z06's will be back ordered with a 100K price tag.

1985 Corvette

What else is holding the Vipers up? I hung my hat on 92K "starting" price for the Z car. No one will touch this car for the ground floor price at the start, though.

quick04Z06

In my opinion Vipers are not selling because at their typical 120k plus price tag people want a DCT option, more options, and more confidence that the manuf has their heart in it -- how long will the almost dead Viper, or for that matter FiatChrysler, be around ?

I think the Z06 should start at 110K and should be built in very low numbers , like 500 annually, so they will be almost surely collectible.

Z06 2LZ, moderately optioned, will be under $90k.

Z51 Corvette is what, $65k? Round that up $20-$25k for Z06. Then apply typical GM discounts. End result: after initial rush to get the car, prices will settle around the $80k mark. Maybe lower.

You start flirting with $100k and people start thinking Porsche, Maserati, Mercedes AMG. Yes, I know the performance isn't there with those two, but 99% of people don't care about that.

There is absolutely NO way the Z06 is going to be $100k car. NOT HAPPENING FOLKS!

Skullbussa

You're smoking something if you think Joe Sixpack is paying $105k for a Corvette. Especially when the Z51 is fast as stink and costs $65k.

What are people getting for an additional $40k in your scenario? A supercharger, a carbon fiber roof, some bodywork, and wider wheels? I think you're confusing GM with BMW.

14 Red Z51 Vette

I say $85k base price with over 600 hp. That would interest me.

DaveFerrari458

I seriously doubt that. The C7 is a complete package while the viper is not. Majority of the people want the complete package, not just race car performance.

DaveFerrari458

HA????

I don't know many "Joe Sixpack's" affording $55K cars let alone $100K cars.

DaveFerrari458

I predict just under $100K to start with and loaded up to just under $120K.

Hope it has a DCT!!!

Kingspoke

For sure!

Kingspoke

GM needs to step up their (Earl Scheib) paint big time to be compared to the Viper paint. That adds tremendously to the costs, and I think people will be reluctant to pay Viper price for C7 paint jobs. Therefore 85-90K for a great sports car, decent interior, ... screw the paint, it looks OK!-

Hemi Dave

If you can afford a 2013 Z06......you can afford a 2015 C7Z

79K..... base 1LT
