I think the base ME car is going to start between $64K - $69K.

If so there is gonna be a really big sales drop for team Corvette. Car should get introduced into the teeth of a bug recession, not good timing.
Maybe they don't care if their halo car becomes out of reach for the masses, not sure how that can be good for GM.

How much do you think the one right below that - i.e. the 650-800-ish hp TT, non-hybrid rear drive variant will cost?

I don't think a near $200K ZR1 in 2024 or 2025 is uneasonable. Especially if it's an 800+hp hybrid that can pull a 9 second 1/4 mile and a 2.4 second 0-60, and destroy on the Nurburgring.
I just think it's unreasonable that people also think that the Base C8 is going to be FE, or be ME and still cost $100K+ or even $150K+.
The C8 is ME and is going to be in the +/- $65k range and follow the same formula as every generation before it with a Z51, GS, Z06, ZR1 offering all the way up to $170-$200K fully loaded. Why anyone would posture an opinion drastically different than this is beyond me.

How many C7 ZR1'a will Chevy sell per year? That's the approximate size of the $120-150K Corvette market.
There is a lot of big talk around here about making the new C8 cost a lot of money, but the amount of people that can combine the desire AND the means to spend 6 figures on a toy spare car, is actually really a small number in the real world.
My Prediction? The base manual trans C8 ME will cost $58,900 or thereabouts.

If you think the ME base car is a Z51 with A8 (which is what I expect it will be just because of the DCT transaxle and a dry sump being easier to package in a ME), I think you are only a little low, but pretty close - but that is a $69k car
Since the ME will not have a manual transmission, and the current base 1LT A8 Stingray costs (MSRP) more than that - that is not a realistic prediction.

My opinion (just like a&*holes, everyone has one)
Base Corvette=500-525hp, $60-65k base price
Grand Sport=600hp dohc flat plane crank, $80k base price
Z06=800hp V8 twin turbo, $120k base price
ZR1=1000hp twin turbo/hybrid, $150-175k base price
Base Corvette=500-525hp, $60-65k base price
Grand Sport=600hp dohc flat plane crank, $80k base price
Z06=800hp V8 twin turbo, $120k base price
ZR1=1000hp twin turbo/hybrid, $150-175k base price
