Few hundred/year more than my current audi R5 SUV via Geico, but it's irrelevant, as each insurance company charges different rates based on location, age, and other factors, so any response here will be apples to oranges.

The Bottom Line on all insurance threads is that you really need to research insurance yourself for yourself. What other people declare is not pertinent to you. Location is a HUGE factor, down to at least the county level. So is everything else you would expect such as age and driving record, but you also have an individual FICO score created just for insurance purposes that includes your credit in the score. How many vehicles you have counts. Whether you have house insurance with the same company counts. Whether you have an umbrella policy counts. Your profession counts. Other people in the household count. Years with the company count. If you want to do the research and post what you found out, great but it won't do anyone else any good at all.

If it's anything like the C7 it won't be bad. Most C7's are hardly ever driven and involved in very few accidents (as a % of production #) I mean my then new 2016 Z51 cost $200 a year more than my 22 year old BMW M3... and it was only $800 a year. Yes, full coverage, 300/500/300, multi car discount, liability umbrella , homeowners, yada, yada, yada...) Heck, the C7 cost as much as my '15 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4x4... A $78K vehicle vs a $32K truck... Tells you something about actuarial formulas...

NCM told me at the kerbeck reveal that it is HP related. Meaning the replacement cost x HP what ratio? Who knows. But makes sense as a GS is about 30% than the Z06 (C7) when msrp was only 10k difference.. you pay more for higher power not just replacement costs.
