So if the 2015 Vette is one of the more anticipated cars of the upcoming year, Then the Z06 is the crazy nympho that you secretly had a crush on in school. you liked her lot but you never admitted it to anyone.

Gm has always aimed to match this car with the gt500 and the challengers Srt8 (or hellcat)so when they announced the pricing of this 650 hp monster it was about normal - your price for this 4 wheeled incarnation of insanity is $78 995

With a 650-horsepower engine, the car is considered by Road & Track !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! a "screaming deal" at less than $80,000. In a way, it's relatively cheap. The !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , which is a hair more powerful, starts at almost $300,000. The !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , with an engine that's 10 percent weaker, starts at $221,580.

official quote

Detroit has always excelled at delivering a lot of horsepower per dollar. Ferrari-style performance for less than $50,000 is the promise and careful market positioning of cars such as the Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger, and Chevrolet Corvette. now i extrapolated abit and made teh mustang a gt500 and the vette is the z06..so my statement is pretty accurate.

That's one of the dumbest sentences I've ever read. Since when does the Corvette compete against pony cars?

Go home Businessweek, you're drunk.

I feel dumb now …. but this is the coolest thing.

"Previously, the optional racing parts were literally hidden in the order form so that only the most knowledgeable and perceptive customers could find them."

No one does this anymore! …. or do we just not know about it?! #Illuminati

Yea, those 3 cars are great dollar/hp values. But that doesn't mean GM aimed the Corvette at them. A sports car that starts at $53k doesn't aim itself at a pony car that starts at $23k.

Wait, that sentence doesn't even make any sense, the base c7 isn't "less than $50,000" !!!

TLDR - don't get car news from business week.

General Motors largely stuck to that strategy on Friday when it slapped a suggested price of $78,995 on its 2015 Corvette Z06 , the high-performance version of its blue-collar supercar

"Super car"? I love the Corvette. But it's not a super car. Journalism always ruining terms. It's a damn great car, but they're just boosting.

Business week clearly isn't a great source for car news.

Nowadays, they aren't that good for business info either. But their opinion pieces are pretty good.
