No not at all.

Chevy specifically said they would be targeting any dealers that are marking up the vehicle. It well sell at exactly MSRP. Chevy has done this in the past. If this was FORD yeah.. you'd have some serious markup.

The red one most likely had the Z51, look for a third radiator at the rear passenger side as well as a spoiler that is depressed in the center and elevated on the sides.

All this speculation on price is speculation. Some dealers will be able to take some fools +$10K, +$20K, at the very start of deliveries. Pretty soon there after production will catch up depending on demand even though I bet demand will be off the charts.

Face it, given what we know and what GM has said this is a grand slam home run at the moment. It's on my short list when my S5 lease is up...

Think about this as well, if the Z51 0-60 is sub 3 what is the non-Z51 0-60? 3.1, 3.2, 3.3? That is PRETTY DAMN QUICK for a rear drive hunker of a vehicle. Wait till they add a couple of electric motors to the front wheels in a few years....buh bye Tesla.

LOL a Vette as a Tesla killer...if only they weren't in completely different categories.
While it is never meant to be a competitor to Tesla, GM should have made it a priority long ago that ALL Corvettes with ALL versions of motors ALL outperform a frickin' Tesla. LOL
Still have to hand it to GM they certainly have something interesting for the price point. Maybe this is finally a turning point for American sports/supercars.
