Back in 06 a mate of mine in San Jose bought a brand new Z06 with the 427 and was reluctant to pay the US $58k but thought he deserved it.
I've got a video of us doing 0-80mph in second gear and sub 4 seconds to 60mph.

If it's us$70k to us the conversion takes it to over $100 pacific pesos. Delivery, shipping, LCT, floor mats were looking at $145. First in always pay a premium so let's call it $20k and we arrive at $165.

Tiff Needell did the best ever review / test drive of the C6 Z06...

Was at my dealer on Monday, they said they had already taken 6 deposits ($5k) and were suggesting around the $90k RRP. Then he looked at his stock of Camaros sitting in front of us and sighed...

I'll bet he would take deposits telling people they will only cost $90K!

I'll bet he wouldn't guarantee delivery at that price though.

Any price gouge with this car will hurt them in my opinion, they get away with it on the Camaro with the sook about conversion costs, HSV tax etc. I don't see the base model Corvette directly imported being anymore than what the GTS cost, which was what - between $100-110k? $90k + LCT + delivery etc puts it squarely in that range.

[white lie]

The direct dollar conversion would put it around 85k? I think it will be higher personally. 120ish on road but happy to be proven wrong. You'd really want the Z51 upgrade though.

not going to be fun changing spark plugs or engine belt. typical engineer job, gonna be PIA for mechanics.

By chance I have read some chat about possible price gouging in the US with a dealer stating they will only be selling at RRP. Reading between the lines it's possible that GM has tried to lay down the law and keep them all in line.After all if you have spent millions of dollars and years developing a new flagship car you wouldn't want a bunch of glorified scalpers derailing sales right at the end of the project. I'm hoping Holden dealers have to tow the line as well.

Some good info about the car on the official Chev youtube channel

Yeah, well I'd like to know what that Dealer's smok'n. $60K US = $87K Aus for a start (for a base model), then ya've got freight, import duty, Dealer mark up, options for the Aussie version etc etc etc, I'd say that Dealer is definitely dream'n.
