And the ZR1 was a $32000 option on top of a $32000 corvette. $64,000 in 1991 is abut $160,000 now. Looking at it that way, considering the performance of a base C8, the C8 is a bargain at $100,000.
What bugs me is that a current auto review will be mostly about the connectivity and gizmos with very little about driving characteristics. So when it craps out, you can sit and use to your I pad while you wait for a tow.
