That is only if you look at MSRP.
The reality is that you can buy Z51 Vettes and Grand Sports Vettes all day, without any drama, and with substantial discounts from MSRP.
Buying a GT350-R is a drama fest. You have to deal with the "it's special", "it's limited production", "it has dealer mark up".
In fact, the GT350-R is second only to the Ford GT in the buying drama department.
As far as markups are concerned, I noticed that they started to diminish after the H2H. And I haven't seen much of them lately. People paid those prices because they thought it would be an investment. But now the used price values are less than MSRP at this point. And people are trying to sell them fast because the GT500 is coming. Are people going to get even $70K for a used 1-2 year old GT350R when the GT500 is coming out and will probably MSRP at $70K-$75K? And when there are Demons, ZL1 1LEs, (upcoming) ZR1s, and more? Doubtful. Dealerships recently have been showing more of a down to Earth attitude about moving those Shelbys out.Eeeeeeeeeeeeexactly.
Price at dealerships vary. It’s simply about what people are WILLING to pay for the car. Just means there is greater demand for the mustang than the corvette. But ultimately, dealer prices vary greatly. You can find GT350s in the high 40s just like you can find corvettes in the high 40s. MSRP is the only standard, as that’s the price the manufacturer intends to sell the vehicle at. Anything above or below that is just the beauty of capitalism at work
