Default When will 27' Chevorlet Build Configurator be available?

Guys, Does anyone have details as to when we can expect the 27' Corvette Build & Buy Configurator? Also, I've been reading about people who have deposit's down at MM on the 27' GS & GSX. Are people also putting depostit's down on the 27' base Stingray? Not reading much about that. I'm aware of the other configurator's out there. Thanks.

Anybody that knows isn't talking. I suspect it will be a while before Chevy releases it.

Kind of sad, really.

A company of this scale, should be a bit more with it.

Especially since a sales person from one of the dealerships was able to build one in the mean time. Glad we at least have that to help sort out pricing!

The people programming the 2027 configurator are probably as confused as we are about some of the 2027 options/packages/pricing/requisites.

Yeah, configurator is up for Stingray and Z06 and GS, but not either of the X cars or ZR1.
And, they made a change on Stingray, when you chose the trim level, each one has an engine option listed and I don't understand why they did it this way.
Top listed option is the base Stingray, bottom listing is the EXACT SAME ENGINE but with Z51, why do it that way???
Engine and trans are identical between the two options.
Weird.

Click on the pencil icon in the top left when the 2026 Corvette Stingray is selected and scroll down on the next screen to see the 2027 configurator

No, the Z51 gets a different transmission:
M1L Transmission, 8-speed dual clutch, includes manual and auto modes
M1N NEW! Transmission, 8-speed dual clutch, includes manual and auto modes
  1. Included and only available with (Z51) Z51 Performance Package.

Doesn't matter, there is zero good reason to make an extra choice, just part of the Z51 option.

On the home page, click on "SHOP" then choose "Build & Price" from the menu and then choose "Performance" and the 27's are listed there.
