A 1LZ Z07 corvette can be had in the mid 70's. It laps the 'ring 3 seconds slower than the ZR1, which CANNOT be had below HIGH 90's, new, within its model year on both accounts.
It has identical suspension.
Identical bodywork/aero.
Identical cooling system.
Identical brakes.
Different engine/clutch/1/2-shafts, as I understand it.
So, gonna pay another $20K for those 3 seconds on the 'ring time?
Definitely not "priced too close".
With C6 corvettes, MSRP is one of those things that a serious buyer won't even glance at. It's invoice or below, or you carry your *** to a dealership that will do it.
