Default "Alternate" 2027 build a price tool (live now)

But this is a private tool not run by GM (Chevrolet) and it appears to be accurate with all the 2027 pricing.
Allows you to see all the options and new prices.

Sadly, I bet we don't see the GM official build/config till after the bash next weekend at the NCM.

If they don't save some of the new options to show them, they(attendees) will throw a fit probably!

What a stupid reason to withhold it.

I guess this is one way to battle the MacMulkin out of state dominance. Will surely help drive traffic to this dealer if they sell at MSRP.

He did a great job with it. My GS 2LT HTC build would be 106k if I were in the market. Not bad all things considered.

Well after using his tool, I visited his dealership's website and sent him an email 4-5 days ago. No reply.

Yep, same here, I emailed and called, left multiple messages with Alan and no response.

I placed a deposit with Les Stanford as they called me back within 15 minutes.

I emailed him late Monday with a question about options and just received a reply from him today, couple hours ago. I'm guessing his Inbox is probably a disaster area right now.

I think he's a little high on some of those options. I guess we'll see.

Honestly, he was spot on when compared to a similar pricing sheet that was emailed to some of us from MacMulkin earlier this morning. Chevy went up on pretty much every option by $100 or more. Some a lot more.

Yeah. I mean it'll drive traffic for sure but if they dont have a system in place like the larger volume folks, they'll get what they get and lose the rest.

But hey it's a helluva service for customers with the tool he built given GM's lazy approach to updating their own website. So cheers to Alan even if folks buy elsewhere.

Yep, almost every damn line item had $100 tacked onto it, and much more for the big daddy items. I noticed it right away since I’ve been staring at the 2026 configurator for months now and have almost memorized all of the pricing…….

front lift appears to be one of the options that has a big increase.

It seems like the Grand Sport is less pricey than some feared if the numbers on that site are correct for 2027 base model cars:

$73,495 - 2027 Stingray
$88,495 - 2027 Grand Sport
$112,195 - 2027 Grand Sport X
$123,995 - 2027 Z06
$197,195 - 2027 ZR1
$227,395 - 2027 ZR1X

Man! Comparing this to Stingray 2020 base price of $59995, that's a 22% increase. I understand everything has gone up. 23% in 7 years, that's slightly over 3% per year.
