probably because they had to increase the price in order to make the car powerful and reliable enough to compete against it's rivals.

maybe cause it runs 11.4's in the quarter stock

The ford GT goes for 150,000 and it runs 11.4's also.

it's because people are paying it, gm has some of the highest priced cars and it has cost them (part of the reason for slow sales on the f-bodies was the 6-10grand difference to a comparable mustang) 75,000 is the going price it may be higher depending on demand

they already have said a msrp of $75000, but that's the same league as the top cars from mercedes, and the like so it's a steal at that level

From page 2 - Chevrolet won't talk about Z06 pricing for now, but the new car will certainly be dearer than the old one, which started at $52,985. With so many upgrades, some observers expect a price of $75,000 to $80,000, but we think Chevrolet is too smart to repeat the ZR-1 overpricing mistake. Our prediction: between 60 and 65 large.
