    I voted for $72500 . It's halfway between what I figure it should be and the high mark . It has some unique body panels that won't be produced in high enough numbers to make them cheap . Plus when I see what is charged these days for optional engines in other cars (which is outrageous) plus adding some cost for beefing up the tranny , bigger tires and rims , I come up with a price of around $70,000 . Add $2500 for corporate greed (I might be a little low on that ) and you end up with $72,500 . Cliff

    I went with $65k. I think they want to keep the prices within reason.

    I voted the same way for the same reason. The Z will be a great car, but it's still a Corvette. There are a lot of choices, including the regular Vette which is a real value.

    Default It will be interesting to see where GM sets the MSRP.

    I went with a guess of $70k . . .

    Does the side vent on the front fender of the Z06 stick out further then it does on the regular C6? I havent had a chance to see a direct side by side comparison yet.

    I voted 67.5.

    I heard GM is rethinking the 70k+ range... that it may be too expensive.

    When will the pricing info be official?

    Default Yes the Z06's sticks out, the regular Corvette does not.

    I was told the 2006 Z06 is 8" wider than the regular C6 Corvette.

    6 - who's your source - is it reliable information - because "eight" inches wider would be a whole different car. I think it would be great, but it doesn't really show up in the pictures. Recheck with your source. I'm intrigued.

    Thanks,

    pricing announcements usually happen in July during shut down - so we can guess and guess and guess....I feel the car will be upper 60's and optioned out mid 70's.....again..just a guess!

    I should be able to get my hands on the pricing 1st and will be happy to pass it along to you folks to review!

    I've heard all kinds of rumors from $70K to $90K but it all sounds too high to me!

    I voted $65K. They have to keep it halfway affordable!

    I know this isn't very official , but the gal doing the intro for it at the Detroit auto show said it was three inches wider . She also said they would go on sale in October but the price was still undetermined . Cliff

    I hope its closer to 60K. There are thousands of C5s out there with over 500 Hp. I doubt it cost the owners 20 to 30 grand for the improvement.
