A $10,000 jump in one year??? I don't know about that? At most i can see is a $5k/6k jump on the base car... Maybe with a track pack or something it will make it jump above $60k???

If incentives stay the same? You can take $8k/13k off the price at some point. lol I wonder if this new vette will further spike insurance?

i can try to make a few calls and see what kind of prices they are if anyone has an idea yet on what it's going to be.

Think about all you're getting in the new base compared to the existing base, though.

A 99lbs lighter aluminum frame that's 57% stiffer
Carbon fiber hood and roof panels
LOTS of electronic tech like the 10-setting traction control and the e-diff
Brembo brakes
etc etc

The existing base gets... nothing.

yes but technology and manufacturing process are advancing also as well as bringing it in house.

It would be too costly to change the production of the c6 mid cycle to move to any of these new processes, but for a all new design its worth it.

True.

Either way, the GM folks said "if you can afford a current Corvette you'll still be able to afford this one." That makes me think it won't be a huge bump for the base.

What if they come back to the status the Z32 was in during the 90's??? It was a vette killing porsche competitor... Now i doubt history will repeat itself right now with a Z killing vettes. (thats the GTR's job.) But if the Z comes with all the right components? The right price? The right transmission(s) and STOCK TURBOS??? I might stay Z next gen as well?

With this vette? I would have to wait for the smoothed out physical update to know. There's potential in this styling, but looks incomplete still.
Oh and it's pricey. i been uppin' a lot of money to cars and guns.

There is going to be so much good new stuff coming. Don't forget about the new 5.0 as well. Should be a good option if you don't want to spring for a Vette. The Camaro will probably be good too based off of the ATS platform. Hmm... I feel a tingling in my pantalones.

Also I believe the Camaro may be getting a LS7 option.

Why would they do that? They already have one with a de-tuned LS9. I could see them starting to use the new LT1, but the LS7 wouldn't really make sense. That motor is going away since the Z06 will be and thats the only car that makes use of their 7.0L

I think because they have the LS7 available now. Probably have more castings than they needed, but there is a new LS7 Camaro.

Like Mike said it is because they have the engine and it is cheap to do.
Also, the ZL1 uses an LSA motor which is in the CTS-V. I think the reason for it is to create more sales and because it will give them the "fastest" NA American Muscle car probably (against the Mustang & Challenger).

I dunno about that, but based on our little Focus I know it will be good.
