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.
adjusting for inflation the price has actually gone down. The 2020 price equivalent today is $76,795

That's true but using inflation as a metric for how affordable a product is so deceitful. It should be pegged to real wages, and I doubt they've kept pace at the same rate.
This isn't an attack on you it's just how economics is basically "yeah we screwed you but using our metric of how we screwed you it's actually fine"

except on average wages didn’t decline they’ve been flat to a slight increase in line with inflation

He's a busy guy. Was sitting at his desk this morning. I can vouch for him as I've purchased my last few Corvettes through him.
I still haven’t receive a response. He’s had time to post 5+ YouTube vids and an online configuration tool since my last attempt at contact. But no time to answer customers? Ended up moving on with Les Stanford.

Thanks for that. I didn't check on today's dollars, but I'm with RayMaq88 in the wages part. In most cases, wages have kept up slightly based on DoL data on average for the nation. Individual sectors saw better performance than others. Either way, I am excited to get back into a new GS and live up to my moniker lol.

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.
FYI, appears the black exhaust tips as well as “Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking” are now standard for 2027. There might be other changes, but these are just a couple I noticed. Awesome tool, BTW 😁.
This tool implies the Stingray will have a gas guzzler tax for 2027. Can anyone confirm?
I would find that surprising if true, considering that new LS6 V8 is supposed to be slightly more fuel-efficient than the LT2 was. Unless it’s only on the Z51 (5.56 gears) equipped Stingrays? Or, the other new models (Grand Sport, 721hp Grand Sport-X) have lowered the overall averages and now they’re trying to spread the gas guzzler tax costs across the entire line?

You might be on to something there .... spread it around.
SR, GS, GSX = $1300
Z06, ZR1X = $2600
Z06 w/areo, ZR1 = $3000
That was NOT on his earlier versions of his configurator. You would have thought that would have been mentioned at the NCM Bash at some point.
Yet, its "supposedly" more efficient?!
