I've heard in the $70K range too, but there will likely be huge dealer markup for quite a while.

I would sell my kids into slavery if it was only 60K. This is a true supercar. I doubt that you will be able to buy this car for anything less than 75K.

anyway, dude, have you seen the new interior of the vette? it's sweet. also, the dry sum oil system is just nuts.

I bet the vett could take 360 modena at the track with the right sorta driver.

It has a dry sump oil system? This thing really must be track ready. Vette also completely overpowers a 360.

Have you ever looked at the C5/C6 suspension? The lateral leafs are a big reason why the car handles as well as it does.
