Default $100,000 corvette

Just when you thought $68,000 was a little steep for a chevrolet, here comes the 100,000 dollar version.
That picture is of the so called "Blue Devil" corvette that has now been named SS corvette. It will be out sometime late next year. 600+ supercharged LS9.
This pic was taken of the test mule making laps around Germany's Nurbürgring track.

I dont think it will ever be like that, I would just think of these models as something like a Callaway, or a GT500 Stang, Venom Viper, AMG Mercedes...
There is a market out there for a 100,000 dollar vette, and they are going to tap into it.
