200K for a 2009 ZR1?

You would think that people would learn from their mistakes, case in point, 78 pace car, 90 ZR1 both sold for double sticker price when new only to see prices drop like a rock after a couple of years. I guess if you must have the first one, but I could not justify it JMHO.

I can't see anyone falling for this nonsense right now everyone saw the disaster for paying over MSRP for the 90 ZR1 and previous pace cars plus market is in the dumper. Some Viper dealers tried to get over MSRP for the new 600HP 08s only to see that totally fail and they are all selling well under MSRP.

Corvette is GM's profit maker. If THEY think its worth 100K (and have a profit margin there) why would someone buy one for 200K. Just wait and this nonsense will subside.

Don't forget the 76 Eldo. Double sticker was the norm, because, after all, it would be the "last" american made convertible.

The 76 Eldo now that brings back memories. I remember with all the govt. regulations at the time we all believed that was the last vert. Geez am I old.

-------For years in the Corvette hobby we have called it "Pacecaritis". Its an insidious disease. I have never been able to understand the mentality on the purchasing side either........Bill S

Dealers couldn't gouge if GM would build enough to supply the demand. What idiots! Actually, like the Z06, they could gouge early on but sooner or later the price would come way down.
