Pulled the trigger on a C8 Z06

[Speedy!]

Just watched the video, 8.67 at 159 is a crazy time for a production car, but the fact that it was printing 8.7x is nuts. just wish it was mechanical AWD.

 

[hell on wheels]

Runs 8’s

This shit is getting serious


The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X Does 0-60 MPH in 1.68 Seconds
The quarter-mile run comes in 8.675 seconds at 159 mph, with the figures coming from testing on a prepped surface.

$250k?!?!??! Pass!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Speedy!]

That level of performance isn't cheap.

That level of performance isn't cheap.

But I am!

 

[Speedy!]

I am too actually! It's why I waited and picked up a gently used C8 Z06 when prices cratered last summer.

In Canada eh
If you can find 1
315K base model
Asshole Government ( the last little Cuban idiot ) added 20% tax on luxury vehicles over 100K

So 315K is taxed at 215 X 1.2 = 258K
258K plus the original 100K not seeing the luxury tax = 358K
So once they add the tax they tax the tax
358K X 1.13 sales tax
404K

90K taxes

FM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After exchange rate and the taxes we have here, the base ZR1 is ~$12kUSD more in Canada than here at MSRP. Probably less than $20k different @MSRP for the ZR1x.
Where did Grok get it wrong, just curious. It’s usually wrong but I usually know why.

Hello Jack

I was pricing the ZR1X
The cheapest I seen was 315K for the base model
GM sites are all over 300k
Below is a sample





I think Grok s math is a bit off

My math for this is 309K
Not sure where the 280K comes from ????

@Bowtie Guy - Yeah, Grok wouldn't acknowledge the ZR1x so all of its calcs were base @ 240k CAD MSRP.

Honestly, I was trying to follow your math and couldn't.

Grok says luxury tax is 10% - discrepancy there.
300k base + 10% luxury = 330K.
330k + 13 HST = 372k CAD.

Right over the border in Buffalo -
It's the same base price when you use the exchange, so call it 300K CAD
+ 3484 CAD gas guzzler
+ 8.75% sales tax = 330k CAD + destination/registration (few hundred)

Looks like you're still paying 40k over us south of the border based on the same MSRP. Does that add up?

We always pay more


Here you go Jack

• Calculation: The tax is the lesser of:
  • 10% of the total sale price, OR
  • 20% of the portion of the price above the threshold.

Doing the math it looks like 200K is the even point for the 2 taxes
Under 200K you would use 20% which I was hit with
Over 200K its 10% which I haven t met . too rich for me LOL

See if Grok uses 20% at 199K
