100 g’s is what I hear. As far as I know it will be only the second reg production GM car to cost that much (after the current XLR-V which has a base price of $100k).

theyre worth their weight in gold now a days

meh, crate engines yeah… however, even mint-condition ZR-1s are kinda dropping in value.

LS1 completely tossed its appeal out the window. I’m surprised Lingenfelter still has a ZR-1 package. Hell, even GM execs liked the LT4 better than the LT5.

from what i heard it should finish under 110,000 loaded up, although there will be almost no options. maybe different seats, wheels, paddle shifter or stick. do you want a racecar or do you want a racecar?

Just my opinion but does anyone else notice a resemblence to the Ford mentality of the mid 60’s GT40(Bill Ford told the engineers “I don’t care how much it costs just win the god damn race”)??? I think Chevy wants a supercar killer for 1/2 the money and do it with a front engine car with a 50/50 weight distrubution.
