You can buy them all day at "MSRP" now? Several Dealers are
taking a deposit and adding you to a "pre order" list at MSRP.
I think if you look at what the car offers, 75K is still a bargain,
I hope it is much less though!
The Viper lists for 90+, Dealers quickly started selling them for
much less since sales were not brisk of the SRT/10
I would suspect that after 6 months, you will see steep discounts on the Z. If you look at the Ford GT, they are asking WAY over sticker for them, but they aren't selling quickly at that, and they are VERY limited in production. The
Z will be a volume Super Car, (probably 3,500 - 5,000 per year) In order to achieve those numbers, they will need to
discount them greatly. The top figure for the exisiting Vette
market seems to be about 65K after that, interest drops off fast from what I have seen.
I would still love to see a VERY limited production Vette that
would be a true "Halo" car for GM and Corvette, a VERY exotic
looking car with about 600 hp that would come in around 150K
and a production number of about 1,500 units per year!
The Viper Coupe is coming, it will be about 90-94K and could
have a rumored 600hp Engine! So far people have been dissapointed with the looks of it shown though. Dodge would
have a winner if they JUST made a street version of the Comp Coupe and I think GM would have a winner with a "Street Version" of the C6R too!
By the way, I am No. 5 on the waiting list of Ross Downing at
MSRP for the Z. I paid Sticker for my 01' Z and got my 04' at
12K off, so it averages out!
