As you can see, the pricing changes affects those Corvettes more at the top of the performance pyramid than those at the bottom with $405 being the increase on the Stingray and Grand Sport coupes while the Z06 and ZR1 increased range from $1,405-$2,500. These prices above do not include $1,095 destination fee or the gas tax fees on the Z06 and ZR1.
But wait there’s more!
Chevrolet is also raising the price of the Corvette’s 8-Speed automatic paddle-shift transmission. The transmission is currently priced at $1,725 and will increase to $1,995. With 80% of Corvettes sold having the 8-speed auto, that RPO price increase will surely raise a bunch of dough as well.

I ordered mine a year ago, and the price was locked in when I put the deposit down and we agreed on a total price, signed by the dealer.

So does this really undermine the notion that the C7 is dead and the ZR1 will be a one year car?
It doesn't make sense to raise the prices on a clearance vehicle unless they believe the demand will be there....
