You are correct; however, the GS and Z06 will undoubtedly cost more than the GT500. The C8 Z51 and the GT500 are nearly identical in price. Again, I simply find it to be quite impressive that these 2+2's have evolved into more than just 1/4 mile machines.

Per Motortrend's Testing (as optioned):
$88k-C8 Z51
$80k-Base GT500
$94k-Carbon Fiber Track Pack GT500
