There were more when I posted that, but shsn't production been stopped due to the chip shortage? We're talking about a Z51 Corvette, not a Z06 or ZR1. Historically there's been no real markup on a base model Corvette outside of the first model year and even then, $10k would be a large markup outside of all but a few markets. You can make a $100k base model if you throw every option at one and pay a little markup, but I'd guess that there haven't been more than a dozen six figure base Corvettes and obviously none of them will ever approach that value on the used market.
I'm sure someone has paid $40k for a GTI or $50k for an R, but paying a price for a new car certainly doesn't set you up well for the flip side. We've been shopping Macans and Porsche options are laughable, especially given that they really don't retain any of that value second hand. Having the air suspension and torque vectoring LSD make it easier to sell one quickly, but they don't appear to add any resale value.
There is no Z06 or ZR1 available yet for the C8 so you really only have the trim levels within the standard model. Not surprisingly all the ones listed with a price were the 1LT.
I don't think you've been looking at C8's if you don't think there's been a markup on them, there are used models of the C8 selling for $80k (the ones that were $69k new).
*edit* Looks like out of those 6, only 1 C8 is actually on the dealer's site
