Corvette ZR1 UK Pricing set at a gut wrenching ?109K

It should be ? before the 109K instead of $, right? And yes....don't think this Vette is gonna go fast in U.K at all.... 1. The black roof does not look good on this.... 2. With how picky those Europeans are on fine interior when buying a car that cost over ?100K, this will be a big thumb down for the Vette... They need to work on the styling a bit before they can get fast in Europe.

those price increases seem to be about on par with the mark up on ALL imported European and American cars to Australia ... eg an M3 at US$70,000 lists for around A$170,000 ... how can that be fair .... grrrrrrrrr

lol move countrys : )

so this has better value than a f430, r8 or lamborghini Ga its nice but not 110000 pounds nice.

I know that the Chevy fans will say that the ZR1 uses carbon fibre panels, high tech magnetorheological dampers/suspension and a super modern version of a pushrod engine, but the ZR1 Corvette is still a rather crude car in European terms. Wheres the direct injection? The top quality suede and aluminium interior? The exterior styling? Nurbringing lap times are one thing, true usable performance in another, livability and satisfaction of purchase is something different altogether. Corvettes are perfect for the home market, but I don't think they're quite ready to face up to the real world, although bits and pieces of them (unfortunately) end up in Australian Holdens and HSV, to try and rescue them from redundancy.

This is ridiculous. A 109k Vette? Maybe if it was a Callaway, but this is a betrayal of Corvette values of affordability.

one word: extortion

LOL!! 109k and they don't put the steering wheel on the correct side? F430, LP560-4 or the GT-R anyday. If I was american, I'll forget about the rest.

tuner_mad spot on man.

As a brit, i feel that this car is a rip-off. ?109,000 for something that isn't as good as a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.

Unless anyone complaining about buying this car can actually afford to buy it your opinion does not matter in the least.

the american car industry is crumbling when being faced up with the real world. corvette's are cool but they never carried itsw brand towards these price range. cutting adge design, style and technology has to be honed for this kind of price, not mere lap time numbers (which most likely is fake or cheated) or numbers in general, thats where the japanese are smart with the GT-R a car that produces all the right numbers and thats it

What's the "real world". It was mentioned several times in this thread.

Nothing good comes from america! GM For the last 20 years have ripped off people with crappy and unsafe cars.Look at the vett unibody you be dead in any kind of side impact.

The greatness of the corvette, is in its affordablity. You get super car performance that you can drive every day. Its gas mileage is even better than its competition. No sense making it expensive.

I don't get was resentment everyone is having here. the base Vette is still good price. this is an limited edition that will sell out without doubt and as I said before unless u can afford to buy it who cares what you think.
