My crystal ball says $80-85K base, which would still be a bump over the C6 Z06 but not a huge one. I'm not sure it would be done solely to keep the Z06 priced above the Z28 though, since they're not comparable in their placement relative to their base models or their overall missions (plus the Z28 is intended to be a limited edition). But based on the existence of the Z28 at all and the already very high performance numbers this Z06 will apparently bring to the table, I'm wondering if rather than a ZR1 for this generation we'll instead get a "Corvette Z28", similar to the Viper ACR-X, i.e. little if any power increase, but weight reduction and a hardcore track-oriented design to the point that it's not really usable as a DD anymore, just like the Z28.
