So MOTOR TREND estimates $90,000 to start. There has been so much criticism about this not being a real Corvette because it'll be electric BUT I bet dealers will add $$$ to it even if it doesn't sell as fast as they want. One day though it'll be the only Corvette for sale

“Electrified” is the more accurate term. It will still have the base LT2. I think the purists and haters would cry even if GM decided to just go AWD with no electric motors up front. “Oh no it sUxXors cause Vettes ain’t Never been AWD! Ain’t no suBaru!!!”

Whatever the price was going to be, GM just added another $7500 to it since it will probably qualify for the EV credit. Only need something like 7kWh batter which is rather small.

VER

EV credit would cap out at $55K for cars.

ZRacerLE

Well, $169K is already taken by the Z06 (although not starting)

I'll try the $84,999 again.

Actually I think it will be faster and more desirable than the Z06 - especially with the AWD. I'm guessing a minimum of $110,000 for a base model. Of course that's if you can get one before the battery ignites and burns it to ashes.

ZRacerLE

Could be. I'm just thinking they are looking to mass produce the hell out of that hybrid system so will price accordingly. They'll definitely need to do a GS if they go $110K starting for the eray.

Looks like chevy will have to put in a full scale fire suppression system option in order sheet.

Zero chance it is more expensive than the Z06.

VER

Faster 0-60? Sure
More desirable: Nah
More expensive: Not a chance.

It is supposedly taking the grand sport position in the lineup. If that’s the case, it shouldn’t be higher than the $105k starting price for the Z.

Wyldfyer

True but by the time the ERay comes out, we may be in year 2 of the Z06 so who knows what the base Z06 price will be then lol. Everything seems to keep going up.
Im on a list for a Z06 and will get on a list for the Eray. I will buy which ever one shows up first. If it comes out that the ERay has quicker acceleration, I'll prioritize the ERay for sure.

If GM was serious about the dealer ADM's they would only allow the cars to be 'leased' (not sold) for a couple of years with a mandatory GM buy back. That would take care of the flippers and give 'em control of the market pricing. End of the problem.....

more desirable?
um… NO

it will probably sell well
but you won’t have same demand of Z06

If MacMulkin's e-ray wait list, at least as of a month ago, is a good indication of demand, then ADM will be mostly a 2024 problem. Production won't clear out the backlog in year, but if e-ray production ramps just a bit faster than the Z06, it may be sufficient that that most people will the see light at the end of tunnel and wait for their car. rather than fork over a $25k ADM. A sustained 30/day probably gets to equilibrium within two years. Even more so if Z06 production can stay in the 35/day range. The e-ray lists are probably have at least 10% that want a Z06 but got on the e-ray list list because of Z06 unavailability.
