The long awaited Corvette Z06 Carbon edition will finally be released in early 2011, but as it turns out it comes with a very unreasonable price. The normal Z06 cost around $75,000, there about, but the Carbon Edition with the same engine, uprated brakes and suspension and two special colors of Supersonic Blue and Inferno Orange, starts at $90,960 and goes up to $99,925 for a loaded model.

Z06 Carbon treatment also includes the ZR1-style bodykit and 20-inch wheels and interior treatment. Now you might think you can do all that yourself in a downtown garage for 10 grand tops, but GM justifies its price by making the car a limited edition with only 500 units for sale.

Dunno about you, but I wanted to spend big on a ‘Vette I’d get the daddy ZR1 for 110 grand. If I just want a normal Corvette, I’d get the normal Z06 – or maybe even the C6! – and save 30 grand.
