[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16276398, member: 68944"] Gt500 and z06 will play different songs and entertainment for the same dollar. I don’t see a z06 starting much higher than $85k. Considering the gt500 is starting at $74k, the value argument doesn’t work well. When an 03 cobra was $32k and a z06 was $54k, I got it. A $500 pulley, filter and tuner took an 03 cobra to bottom 12’s with a driver which is where a z06 was. Today, so many people have $50-100k+ jobs that Ford and Chevy can build a $35k mustang or camaro that runs high 11’s, and then go on to build $60-75k mustangs and Camaros that run 11’s and 10’s. So what is the corvette left to do? They went inexpensive at launch with the mid engine c8 so they can keep the spark alive and sell about 50,000 cars again like the c7 first year or so did, but ultimately it’ll turn out how the gtr skyline r35 did here in the states. Those started at $70k in 2008 iirc, and crept up year after year to where they now start at $105k. I don’t blame Chevy or Ford or Dodge. If you want a 14 to 15 second car, it’s $25k in the form of a base mustang or Camaro. Very similar to what you paid for a ss or gt in 1994-2004 but you also get a lot more car today to go with the straight line. [/QUOTE]
