GM bumps price of 2010 Corvette ZR1 up $2,910 to $107,830

Supercar performance from a 638hp supercharged V8 engine, carbon fiber bodywork and sharp styling should all add up to a price tag in the $200,000+ range if you look to the competition, but the Corvette ZR1's unmatched value put its sticker price at just $104,920 for 2009. That price will be going up for 2010, but not enough to push the ZR1 from its bang-for-the-buck pedestal.

Pricing for 2010 will start from $107,830, a rise of $2,910 over the 2009 sticker.

Performance Costs

Well, a 3% increase for a Vette that smokes the ~25% higher cost, out-of-production Ford GT and many other familiar stratosperic-cost supercars is still a great bargain. I just hope GM doesn't make a habit out it.

...also, I see that Corvette Racing won LeMans GT1 this weekend. They didn't have factory-supported competition, but 2nd place went to a privateer team running the C6R against a privateer team running an A. Martin, so the Vettes still dominate the close of GT1. It will be interesting to watch the Vette team in ALMS GT2 now, but they're gonna have their hands full. Ferrari bulldozed GT2 at LeMans, 1-5.
