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

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"

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.

Tailpipe Color Options
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.

2023 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
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?
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?!
