minus-square@HappySkullsplitterlinkEnglish3•2 days agoThe corvette is supposed to be the performance car that the everyman can afford that can run with the best of them Only the best of them now only cater to the ultra wealthy I suppose, in comparison $240k is a deal when the cheapest Ferrrari is pushing $250k But it’s still not in keeping with its origins The ZR1 package in 1970 cost $1,010.50 The ZR1 in 1995 cost double the base corvette at $68k (nearly $144k in today’s monopoly money) The C6 ZR1 was $105k ($158k today) We jumped nearly $100k since the last one
minus-square@David_EightOPlinkEnglish2•2 days agoJust to be clear, starting price for the ZR1 is 175k. But that doesn’t include a lot of the aero stuff needed to set these lap records. IDK how much the rear wing and what not costs, 240k is with every optional extra included.
