Yes, loaded C7 Z is around $100k.

-GTS Vipers: The most expensive ones, with loaded leather interiors, softer suspensions, and 5 suspension settings. I passed up a loaded Viper GTS with Laguna interior for $95k (sticker was $139k). A friend just picked up a loaded '14 Carbon Edition Viper GTS for $91k (sticker was $150k). A guy on Viper forums just posted about his new, unsold '13 GTS that he picked up for $85k, that stickered at $140k.

-Time Attacks/TA: More exclusive and hardcore versions, only 33 each of white and black, and 93 orange were produced out of the 2900'ish total Gen V Vipers produced from 2013 to 2014. Performance comparable to a C7 Z07 version of the Z06, and holds the current production car record at 9 tracks around the US. Probably not a good daily-driver. You won't see the same discounts on TAs (due to rarity and popularity), but I got my '14 TA (stickered at $120k) for just under $100k. Another friend of mine in Florida did the same with his, and I'm aware of two other guys who also found the same deals.

Once the remaining inventory is gone (less than 472 cars left at dealers across the country), you won't see deals like this again since the price decease has really jump started sales and generated interest again and dealers won't have to give crazy deals to clear their new inventory. So now is the time.

Next year, the base Viper and Viper GT version will all start out under $100k. The Time Attack 2.0 will be only $105k. And anyone who would take a C7 Z07 package car for $100k over any of them (SRT, GT, or TA) should have their head-examined.

You are a very smart man for saying you would never choose any mass-produced, production-line C7 Z over a hand-built Viper for the same money. There is absolutely no comparison in my opinion. If you want a black GTS, I can get you one for $45k under MSRP right now. I passed on it for my TA, but it's still there.

Hope this helps.
