Base stingray under 70k Z06 115k and ZR1 175k. All have the same interior. Only few people will even know the difference. 2.8 vs 2.3. Other than bragging rights nothing else. Remember you still have to go to base level Chevy dealership drink stale coffee, no loaner and sit in stinky rooms with folks are waiting on their 30k cars for service. You buy a 200k car you need to have an all around 200k experience. Do note I own a stingray and even my Kia dealer treats me better than Chevy dealer. People who want to spend 200k is buying the Italian or German car trust me. Stingray with the improved interior got me as customer as I see value in it, but I still hate the dealership experience as they just don’t know what it takes to service a premium car.

[@TheVinceZampella]

how are you disappointed… it’s priced like a highly optioned out Z06 + 10K, similar to the Z06 being like 10K over a highly optioned stingray. Seems like a crazy bargain to me

[@kerry_glock]

The ZR1 is coming in at a Price close to my Guesstimate. I was hoping for somewhere around $160,000. Then, to Max Out under $200,000. Getting an Allocation will be the hard part. I would like to think my local Dealership has a chance at getting allocations, but how GM will pass them out needs to be explained. I’ve been told there is a formula and or process within the Sales District as to which Dealerships can receive their allocations. It’s based to an extent as to how many 3 LTs they sell within their Sales District. No matter how you cut it, it’s an Expensive Vehicle, but it’s a Bargain (😂) compared to the other Super Cars, especially if you can get it at MSRP. How many Customers are willing to drop $200,000 on a Car? Then I’m in an area (South Central Pennsylvania) where I will only drive this vehicle or any other Corvette 6 months out of the year.

[@matt-g-recovers]

I don't think they are taking advantage on the convertible. It seems to me the trick* of hiding that top on this car takes a lot more effort. Probably took them a ton in R&D to get it right too, and they must try to recoup that. This price is amazing. I am very excited, it actually puts this car in the "maybe someday if I am smart enough with my money" category... exactly what a ZR1 should be.

[@davidruff4826]

Its more than I was thinking at the $150K mark. It does make the Z06 that more of a bargain. It is less than most people we're telling me, that this would be a $200K car. I do wonder what the Zora will be priced at. I'm guessing that's the $200K car then.

[@8lakk5unshine]

The price isn't bad considering the performance and the market. Remember, you can always get a Z06 and have a good performance shop slap a TT kit on and tune it instead.

[@vertisjohnson219]

Will it be limited production, or will there be a 2026?
