All good points fella's, but if the 2010 ZR1 was $120k, do we really expect this one to be less than that? Let's remember, the ZR1 was a hot commodity and flew off the dealers lot's. There are Corvette enthusiast who'll buy it just because it's a Corvette. Then, on top of all that, it'll be the first "real" mid-engine American made sports car. Don't dare mention a Corvair as the first. Hahahaha!! Lastly, if Ford can sell the GT at $225k, I know this car would sell just as easily in that price range or near it. Don't get your hopes up high thinking this car will be anywhere close to the price tag of $80k-$90k...won't happen. I think it's competitive market would be cars such as the Acura NSX which sells for $150k+and the Nissan GTR at $110k+ and maybe the Porsche 911 GT3 RS at $175k+. I doubt Chevy wants to battle the Lamborghini Aventador @ $400k+ or the Ferrari 488 (the 458 Italia successor) at $245k+. I'm sure the mid-engine Vette could compete, performance wise, with the Lambo and Ferrari, but I don't think that's GM's aim.
