Corvette Zr1 Pricing annouced: $165k?

Posted by Matt on June 17, 2008

Chevy announced the official pricing for the corvette zr1 and it is not $165k, but it is $103k plus $10k for the only option to the car. Based on the value and the rarity of the car, i can’t imagine anyone being able to pick one up for anything close to the MSRP of $117k with the only option, chrome wheels and the gas guzzler tax.  What are those options?  Upgraded seats, side air bags, Bose audio, a nav system, Bluetooth, power tilt/telescoping steering wheel and a leather-wrapped interior.  Not a bad value at all for a car with over 630 horse power, that goes 0-131 in 11.3 seconds(quarter mile) and still gets 20 miles to the gallon on the highway! My mom’s volvo wagon barely gets that! Kudos to Chevy for kicking ass! Oh yea, it goes 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and tops out at 205 mph!!!
