Ok I got it out of my system.
I think it already was clear that from a performance standpoint, GM Gixxer'd the competition. That was before the C8 Vette. Now things are completely different. At the same price point, there is no car that can match the ZL1, ZLE, Z06, and now the C8. It will be interesting to see what happens when the C8 hits the streets and tracks. Here is one matchup I'd like to see: C6 ZR1 vs C7 GS vs C7 Z06 vs C7 ZR1 vs C8 vs 6th Gen ZL1 vs 6th Gen ZLE And all in auto configuration. Just to keep things a bit more interesting, I'd like a GT350R thrown in along with a GT500 (both configurations). Winner takes on the Ford GT for a no holds barred slugfest!! |

2LT package is is about 4500 and Z51 package is 5000 for C7, but I expect GM may raise option prices significantly to keep base MSRP this low. What they’re offering for 60k is ridiculous.
Ford is so late with the GT500 that it’s obsolete before it’s even on sale. CF GT500 MSRP plus ADM will get you into a loaded C8 for what is, in comparison, a single purpose drag car that is not even comparable in any other way. And you’ll be able to buy a C8 for yourself, your spouse, and each of your children for same cost as one Ford GT. Toyota schooled just as badly when you consider what the Supra will offer for what it will cost OTD. Like the GT500 will be cheap and easy to make ridiculously fast but in every other way the cars are not on the same plane of existence. Did ANYBODY ever think you would see GM as an industry disruptor again? What this car offers for the dollar has completely disrupted the performance car market.

A stripped down c8 z51 will probably not be much over 65k. If we start talking all the bells and whistles then any car can climb up in price real quick.. Anybody who options their c8 out to 80k probably wasn't all that worried about the base price to begin with.

1LT with Z51 and auto is $64K. 3LT with Z51 and auto is $74K. GS Stingray is $66 MSRP. So let's say, for argument's sake, that the C8 Base is $59,999. Following the trend, the Z51 added on should keep it under $70K. A fully loaded C8 with Z51 or whatever designation they give it should still be less than $80K. And I'm guessing a Z06 version will start around $85K - $90K. And there will be no markups at all. So for $85K to around $110K or more, the Z06 version will be untouchable by the competition. Also, it is debatable, but I believe that even the standard C8 will run circles around the C7 with Z51. And I think it'll give the standard ZL1 and the GS a run for their money. The ZLE tho, that will be interesting to see. But I don't think the GT500 base will stand a chance against it unless it is on a track where the GT500 can stretch it's legs and can keep up in the turns. |

It’s like 2016 all over again for the Ford camp. But ...but ...but
