2015 Corvette C7 Z06 easily breaks the 100k price barrier-at the introduction

If history is any indication, just as it was with C5 and C6 Z06 cars, the first year price tag will not be there for long before it goes up significantly.  This is exactly what happened with C6 Z06 back in 2007 and seeing how prices crept up on the Stingray, there is no reason not to believe it will not happen again. 

+General Motors got away with bait and switch strategy in the past because the cars were so good although at the end, this tactic fired back, with crapload of unsold Z06 cluttering dealers lots for many months.  As a result, the discounts needed to push them off the lots easily outweighed the profits from the price hike.

How will it work with C7 Z06 porker?

As it is, the introductory MSRP for the couple is slightly shy of 79k (including destination charge) with convertible Z06 starting at 5k more.

1YZ07 Corvette Z06 Coupe -- $78,000.00 MSRP
..........................Destination... $995.00

1YZ67 Corvette Z06 Conv ----$83,000.00 MSRP
..........................Destination ...$995.00


2LZ Z06 Equipment Group 1YZ07/1YZ67 --$3,270.00
3LZ Z06 Preferred Equipment Group 1YZ07/1YZ67 --$8,650.00

(FE7) Z07 suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control,
(XFM) front P285/30ZR19 and rear P335/25ZR20 Michelin Pilot
Super Sport Cup 2 summer-only run flat tires,

CFZ - Carbon Fiber Ground Effects Package
includes Carbon Flash-painted splitter and rockers,
and more aggressive rear spoiler ---------$2,995.00

CFV - Carbon Fiber Ground Effects Package
includes visible Carbon Fiber splitter and rockers,
and more aggressive rear spoiler --------$3,995.00

Of course these prices and trim groups do not include extra charges for automatic transmission, exposed carbon fiber roof, color matched body vents or premium colors or wheel upgrades.

Conservatively, 100k is the expected price of a typical street poser car with a few bling options on top of  3LZ, Z07 and CFV standard poser edition. 

Of course, the so called "market adjustment charge" will be added by the dealers receiving the initial shipments of this porker.

This pricing, skillfully grafting very pricey options that will bait the customers puts this gaudy porker right in the league of Nissan GTR and Dodge Viper.  Will the customers be smart enough to realize this part?  Seeing how the super heavy weight of this former track car and lack of performance figures are already being excused by heavy kool aid drinkers, the customers will be as dumb as ever.
