The car performs similar to a Porsche 911, yet a comparably equipped 911 would cost $100,000, Fitzpatrick said. When pricing the Corvette, GM knew it had to avoid giving sticker shock to younger buyers, who should like all the new features. The average Corvette buyer is a male around 50 years old, Fitzpatrick said. "We want to retain that loyal Corvette customer. We also realize that we do have to attract a younger buyer and do things that make the car aspirational to them." The car's gas mileage will be released later, but GM says it will do better than the current Corvette's 26 mpg on the highway.
