With dealer markups pushing the Nissan GT-R’s price tag to $129,000 and the BMW M3 Coupe’s to $100,000, why not a privately sold 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 for $350,000? That’s the price one man is asking (each) for two of his three pre-ordered ZR1s.
Apparently the man will be keeping one of the super-Corvettes for himself, but is selling the other two on Craigslist to cover the cost of his purchase. With a planned production run of only about 2,000 examples, the ZR1 will no doubt be in short supply, but we highly doubt that short of supply.
Chevrolet has yet to announce pricing for the Corvette ZR1, but all indications point to a price tag of around $100,000. That being said, even if dealers markup the ZR1′s sticker price by 100 percent, you’re nowhere near $350,000 — a staggering $300,000 more than a base ‘Vette.
While the ZR1 promises to be a very fine car, we’re not quite sure it can hang with any car sporting a $350,000 price tag from Maranello.
