Careful with the greasepaint.
The C8 Corvette looks to be an official import -- meaning a direct transaction between the manufacturer (or its UK entity) and the UK retailer. This would create a slightly but notably different series of maths than in this thread.
Also... IIRC, the majority of the price-oriented comments on the popular C8 thread were expecting a GBP figure that, at the very least, begins with an 8.
Towards the end maybe or by people who think before they post, but early on many posters were saying how awesome it will be to get one for in the £60k region.The C8 Corvette looks to be an official import -- meaning a direct transaction between the manufacturer (or its UK entity) and the UK retailer.

I tend to agree. You can buy GT350Rs now for under MSRP...and their exchange rate is hugely pessimistic. I don't know the costs of converting a car for use in the UK, but the numbers sound a little high.Obviously some of the above does depend on when the vehicle was purchased...but it wasn't that long ago that the exchange rate was over 1.3.

It's the done thing, isn't it.Engage in social media. Bring facts. Dispel any misunderstanding or rumour about cheeky gains, a wandering Elvis, or secretly holding on to that patent for a water-powered engine that oil companies don't want you to know about.
In truth, we could say: being a leader.

Rather have a 2014 Camaro ZL1 at a much lower price.
Mind you it is a cool car.
Not as good a car though plus who doesn't a Voodoo V8 in their life I'm currently saving for one I've driven my uncles (his second he had a 2015) 2017 one everytime I'm over it's a fantastic drive & how that exhaust passes noise regs I'll never know.Mind you it is a cool car.

Isn't the US price before whatever local taxes are aplicible though?
$67k = £55k + 10% Duty + VAT = £72k plus the shipping isn't it?So (£55k + 10% + shipping, insurance, fees) + 20%
Still, limited run cars with high demand with a mark up is nothing new. However I suppose we are accustomed to them coming with a Porsche badge attached these days.
Too rich for me, for that money an Evora GT430 I think would be a better all round prospect for road and track use.
