well if you stick with the 10% assumption (new tech, carbon fiber standard, a few extra ponies over the C6, blah, blah) and guesstimate the base at $55K then yes, the Z51 package would easily throw it over $60K. Hopefully after a year or so, we'll see the return of some serious discounting.
But really, if the C7 is going to be that good and GM sees it competing against the 911 then it still represents the performance bargain of the century. You can get stupid fast for about the same amount of money with a ZL1 or GT500. I just want to drive the thing and see how it feels. Is it truly a "sports car" to use the classic phrasing.
