By Jeffrey N. Ross, Autoblog.com - As much attention as the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has attracted since its debut back in January, we still have no idea how much the car will cost. Thanks to Chevy's "Race to Win" Corvette contest in the U.S., we finally have a pricing estimate of sorts for the hot new coupe.
In addition to winning a trip for two to France and tickets to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the grand prize winner will also become the proud owner of a C7 Corvette, which has an "approximate retail value" of US$71,860 south of the border. While this would be quite a step up from the US$49,600 base MSRP of the 2013 'Vette, keep in mind that this may also include options and taxes associated with the car. If this is a leaked figure from GM for US market Corvette pricing we can interpolate that data to mean that Canadians will be paying a little more, as usual, and we'll probably be on the hook for mid to high $70K for a well optioned Corvette when Canadian pricing is released. Or, this US contest may just be some sort of estimate.
Regardless of how much the car costs, this sounds like an awesome contest -- unfortunately, it's open to U.S. citizens only. If you happen to have dual citizenship or are married to an American, or have any friends or family who are American, forward them this link for their chance to win. Who knows, they may bring you along for the 24 hour Le Mans race in France ...
