An admittedly vague answer to a somewhat nosey question, but actually a fairly accurate answer. I just checked and for 2012 the price is from $49,600 to $111,600 (Coupe to ZR1). I would suspect that the majority our cars would fall into that range, exactly where depends on many factors … let the person that asked the question figure it out ...
I do the same thing. Most people have no concept of a replica beyond the old dune buggies built on VW frames they remember from their youth. I stammer around awhile and describe the engine, independent suspension, things that are faithful to the originals, etc, until I finally just blurt out - look, I could have bought a new Corvette for what I have iin this thing and probably had money left over. That typically causes a slack jaw and lack of comprehension for a moment.
