3 Z06ZR1

Seeing Msrp's this high on Z06 C7's. Seems the dealers are ordering
mostly loaded cars.
Most C7's Z06's are over 90k! Going to hurt over all sales!

Trying to buy a base C7Z06 forgetting all the extra's.. Around low 80's
car can have a few item's! Spending 80k instead of 118,000
will never make any difference in living funds. I'll be buried with money in the bank.
Just cannot see paying that much for a Corvette.

I feel a lot of the loaded ones will sit and have a big discount's later this year and next year.

Lot of guys will be like me and want the performance but will never see the track. Don't want "cup tires". The extra weight and extra do-dad's do nothing but hurt your performance of your car.
Then why even higher optioned when the cars are full of tire noise and never will be a
Cadillac ride.

When you can get the base car for 80k. I would never pay anything over that. The 2lZ is even hard to justify. The extra sub is only thing thats even cool. Heated seats? GM over priced and over did the options. GM would have/will have sold more cars but priced them selves out like the Dodge Viper. That just why the ZR1 in the garage like new with 4k miles for 69k is not going anywhere.

To each his own. My MSRP is $105k. While you can certainly get nearly the same performance in the base car for $80k, you really need $13k in options to get the max performance z07 so that puts you at $93k. The other $12k in options I went for make the car much much nicer to me so it made sense.

I could certainly live without suede, PDR, exposed carbon exterior, better leather, better seats, carbon dash, etc. But I don't want to spend $93k and wish I had spent $12k more to make it "perfect".

Corvette options are ridiculously reasonable anyways. Almost all the options would cost you much more to do separately. 20% or so in optioned up price is not much. Look at a 911. They start around 90k and go up to 160+ for the same model.

I don't see why these dealers are ordering decked out cars. If I am dropping $100k, it will be speced how I want.

To each his own! But your forgetting the base car is faster is any straight line. Esp over 100 mph
The "suede" that I had on my C7 had little air bubbles and was not finished. Was seeing that stuff go down hill quickly.
Don't want that crap in the next one.

The car is perfect without spending more than the base car. Better seats? Try the same seats. Only difference is the
1 lz and 2lz.. 3lz has 2 lz seats! i would spring for comps seats but I'm not ordering. 1lz is great you want to spend 25k more feel free. The option 's are ridiculously priced not needed.

2.5% holdback is higher on a $103k car than an $80k car.

JackTripper

Mine came in just above $99,600.
2LZ, TR, Z07, Black wheels, Gray calipers, Nav/Pdr, Stinger Hood and Comp seats with microfiber inserts.

Honestly, it's a friggin bargain. 72 miles and I absolutely love this car. My 4th Vette, 2nd Z (C6z).

All pictures look like crap compared to viewing it in person!

3 Z06ZR1

yes and when the $80,000 cars are sold and gone the $103,000 plus cars will sitting. You can take that to the bank.

JackTripper

Decide on the M7 or A8 yet?

NGS

Leave the show...will take just the go.

3 Z06ZR1

plus you got rid of the (crap for street use) cup tires already for the SS tires! See more worthless stuff. So are you tracking a later date
and need more cups or is the Z07 for looks only. (if you like the look)
I like the Z06.

OnPoint

Meh. Mine was mid-90s, optioned exactly how I want it. OP, be patient, you'll find one optioned like you want. You may be able to pick one up sooner by ordering it, as the lower priced Zs probably won't sit on lots as long as the loaded up ones.

3 Z06ZR1

Dam hard call, common sense is saying try the A8. Since the garage has a ZR1 and C6 Z06.
Then again common sense says get the M7!
But likely will go A8!

CORVETTEZL1001

Mines $112K I like all the options and the Z07 is the way to go "Stage 3". It's still a bargain compared to a loaded ZR1.

3 Z06ZR1

Yep when the Base A8 will be the fastest on the road! Why pay more for less.


THE Biggest improvement that can be made is to sell the Stock Michelin PS2
RUNCRAPS and put on straight SS Michelins.

My ZR1 does everything better with a 75 percent less noise.
Sounds like a better stereo now!

3 Z06ZR1

How so? ZR1's are the biggest bargain sold right now!
120 msrp was
69,500 for mine with 2250 miles and still has powertrain till 9-15-2015

new cars drop like rocks!

Carnut12

MacMulkin has 34 available and many are under $90K

ENCT

Mine will be driven on the road not track so I went with the 3LZ for daily comfort, car came in at $92,000. Works for me but I am sure everyone has their reasons. I got rid of my GT500 mainly due to the dime store interior.

It's why they are called "options". Don't want them, order a base car....want them, order them....I'm pretty certain GM didn't invent "options" and I certainly don't have an issue with someone buying either base or loaded or anywhere in between. Different strokes (again, they're "OPTIONS"). BTW, if "options" bug you so much, go "build and price" a 911 on the Porsche website, it makes the Corvette options list look like nothing. You can get perilously close to DOUBLING the base price of a 911

NRB Z06

NRB m7 2LZ 85k with red int which included a 500. Color override. I am still not sure where to uses the power,anything over 90 on the expressway may get you locked up in Texas. Bottom line buy what you can pay for, most of these cars sit in the garage way to much, it's raining to cold/hot ect. If you are happy with a base stingray if you want a 118k z06

Alaska SS

There's one here in Vegas exactly how you want it. White, lvl 1 aero...base car with minor options. Sticker was $82k. Only issue is the $20k mark-up they have on it. LOL
