... at my local dealership, I wandered into the showroom to see what was there. There was a roped-off C8 Corvette ZR1. Here's the window sticker.
Obviously, the dealer is looking for a buyer who really wants the car. And since it's Southern California, with a very large audience of many auto enthusiasts with very deep pockets, they know they can sell the car and get that price, which includes their dealer premium of $122,000!
I'm gonna go out and buy a Super Lotto ticket!

...yeah right. "April Fools!" You bought this! I just knew you'd be trading in your "old" Vette soon! So..... where are the pics, or does the Dealership need more time prepping your new car? Congrats! 😎 😎 😎 😎

Looks like someone’s really gonna get “greased”.

Marty, I got to believe a high volume Corvette dealer will offer you a much lower price than this.
