im comparing prices. not cars themselves. i stated in my second comment that they were always meant to compete with camaros and f bodies. not vettes. a new z06 base msrp is 72 grand. but you cant even find them for that.

edit: fuck nevermind, im a dumbass. i just went back and read it again

ok, so lets do this again. i still think 42k is a good price for the car. the base model c6 will be just another corvette like the other basemodels from the 80's, 90's, and 00's. this wont be just another mustang. just as the cobra wont be. and the z06 wont be just another vette. id buy it over the c6 base. costs less, will get more attention from enthusiasts. will keep its price longer most likely, and you will always have a piece of history knowing you had the first gt500 since the muscle car era. and probably one of the last cars shelby will ever help produce.
