Yep I figured the new Corvette would be priced very high. Look at the new Viper prices. Also the new Corvette is said to have a high end interior GM had the interior as being very high end as a top goal for the new Corvette there will be no one making fun of the interior being cheap anymore which I already thought the interior was pretty good anyway.
It pretty much HAS to cost a lot more than previous Corvettes, with all those unnecessary pistons inside the engine. Take them out and the price will drop over $10K less.
