2019 ZR1 Base price guess

Car and Driver was $8,000.00 off the price of the 2015 Z06 so don't take their word for the low estimate. if guessing I'd say $122.000 for starting price. Would I want one? Of course! Can I afford one? I still have 6 months to pay off my Z06 and I'm retiring this June after 34 years of teaching inner city students so I would say my Z06 is my last Vette. It sure looks awesome in the magazine article.😁😁

Just because the engine is behind the seats instead of in front of them doesn’t justify a large price increase IMO. I don’t think GM will alienate their target maket although I do expect a generational price increase.

From my perspective, I really don't think the car will be very limited at all. GM made a HUGE investment in R&D for the sole purpose of producing the ZR1. The car shares not a single body panel from the windshield forward with any other car in the line up. They are going to want to recover those costs as much as possible, and the easiest way to do that is going to be sell as many as the market has an appetite for.
Honestly, if they were only going to produce 2500 or so there would be no need to offer so many different variations, they would have no trouble selling them all regardless. The fact that GM is basically allowing you to option it anyway you see fit, including a convertible automatic, says they want to SELL SELL SELL
As far as a dealer mark up for the BS "adjusted market value"?
Some dealers may play that game, especially if you have to be first in line......but they will inevitably be over playing their hand.

If Ford can sell their GT @ $450,000, then $175-200,000 is not a reach at all for ME Vette(I know---it's not an apples for apples comp). Market research will be a big factor determining the price---and that price will be as much as the market will bear. Also remember, GM has a $500 million plant investment to start recouping.

2019 ZR1 base price expectation = $129,449.00
Perhaps the more interesting question is what will a mid-engine come in at?

They are producing 3,000; allocation will be based upon sales history - so the top 100 dealers will get about 60% of the cars, with the top 10 dealers getting 18% (540 cars); I don't expect the top 10 dealers to sell them for any more than MSRP. If most are 2LZ or 3LZ version with MSRP's in the $135-140k range, I expect those dealers adding a AMV add-on will sit with their cars as I don't think 3,000 2019's will be as easy to sell at $135k+ each with the ME coming in 2 years as many on this forum believe.

I'm with you. I can afford it, but I'll just have to see what the value is. Even if I can afford it, is it worth more than $30,000 or more for a car that has 100 HP more than a Z06? If you track it I would say yes because of resolved cooling issues and added crank strength, ect. I would love to have it though. Big wing and all. I never liked the looks of the spoilers offered so far. I have always been a wing guy. Don't have one on my current car because a wing would offset the Aerodynamics too much on my Stingray. I was hoping it would have been 800 HP. I would have had to have it then for sure.

GM will sell everyone they produce. Excellent performance supercar...
I'm not a fan of the styling advances but that's just a personal choice.
125 k to start with options moving upward is my best guess.

My guess is much lower than everyone else's so far. The way I look at it, the current Z06 1LZ has a base price of around $80,500 with shipping. The new ZR1 is going to have a larger supercharger, new front fenders, hood, front fascia, wheels, larger rear spoiler and extra cooling radiators along with the carbon ceramic brakes standard. How much more is it going to cost to manufacture the different body parts, the larger supercharger etc. over what the Z06 has now? A Z06 now with Z07 and competition seats (which I believe will be standard on the ZR1) lists for around $89,500. $14,000 over the comparable equipped Z06 for the ZR1 (109,495) would still be generous for 100 extra HP.
