The new Stingray starts at $51995
 

Hoorah! The official pricing is revealed.

Starts at $51995. Convertible will be $56995 (Includes Destination Charge of $995 for both - Coupe and Convertible)

Great pricing. IMHO pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible.

Wow! This is GREAT pricing!

Looks like those of us sitting in front of our computer in our underwear, got the info faster than those that went to the bash.

now we need pricing for options so we can build one that we want and see what it should cost.

So basically 45K with Z51 in about 18 months. Thats a relative bargain. : )

$73,360.00 with goodies..

Base is where I thought it would be. Really excited that Z51 is only $2800. Many on here (myself included) thought Z51 would be 5-6k

on chevy's website it just says "Coupe priced from $51000, Convertible from $56000".

Only a $1,400 increase in base price considering.. that is pretty damn amazing :thumbs:

One can add up to $20000 worth of options on the base C7. Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).

The base level equipment comes standard with a seven-speed manual transmission, Bose audio and those stylish HID headlight with LED running lights. The coupe gets a removable carbon fiber roof panel and the convertible will have the ability to lower its top remotely using the key fob

I wonder when the canadian prices will get released......

The 51995 is with destionation fee.

Love that black wheels are only $495

I kept saying an optioned coupe would be mid 70s :)

Nice to see a base come in that low though. I was thinking around 54k

Now to wait for a couple chumps to take the depreciation hit and realize they can't afford it and sell it to me for 15-20% less than they paid :D

Unbelievable great prices!!! WOW!!

I wonder what the 2LT pricing will be???

That might be okay but $595 for red calipers?? ouch!

If this car is anywhere near 475HP what a deal! Heck it's a deal at 450HP.

:party:

yea, but no one pays that anyway.

Base Price = Cheaper than expected
Options = More expensive than expected

That 3LT show car was $73k... yikes. Even without the competition seats its still a $71k car.

Excellent pricing! The C7 is affordable, and no manufacturer can touch this at these prices. To get a nicely sorted out track car for this price is amazing.:thumbs:

It's funny the press release doesn't mention the dry sump engine oiling system for the Z51 package. That may be the most expensive part of the entire package.

Michael

That car is pretty much completely loaded. With the options I would personally want, it would be about $65K MSRP, which is about what I was hoping for.

51k for the 4x4 model and 73k for a highly optioned Z51 3LT. Everything in between probably will average 60k-65k. GM is taking a page out of Porsches' playbook here...

I dont know how anyone can justify adding 20K for NON performance options on a PERFORMANCE car.

I give props to GM marketing, they are taking a page from Porsche on how to properly add value to their cars. Well in the showroom at least.

I will say a nicely discounted base coupe will be a lot of car for the money.

Makes me wonder if they will ever dial in the production to keep demand high through a production cycle.

427, if only 5% of the C7 buyers want AWD do you think it is worth it for the Vette to be desigined to handle this? You must understand that the cost for AWD will be sharred between all sold C7's, not just the AWD versions. Now I can see the argument on the DCT. I would think GM looked into it and at this time they could not find a 3rd party one that would work for the Vette, and the cost to build one in house that would not be sharred between different cars would not allow them to do it at this time. I do think you will see DCT within the next 3 years or so.

Nobody gives a crap about your second rate opinion.

SD1, look at current C6 pricing. 4LT (which is the same as C7 3LT) is $9500. GM is smart on how they do the pricing. If you want a fairly base car that will freaken run buy the 1LT Z51 (55k). If you want one that has the interior that many on this and other boards have crushed the C6 for not having pay the 8k for 3LT and the 4k for the other stuff. I do not think any one can complain about this price structure.

Yeah, but IMO a Z51 2LT with MRC and NPP for $62k is a great bargain. Add Nav for another $795.
S.

Does it really matter who posted this first?

I told them not to add options of DCT and AWD to this because i don't want you to buy this car. Stick with your Z06 and let others enjoy the C7. If you don't like either, move to other brands that provide this in $55k.

Thanks

When can we start a thread where everyone swearing the price was going to be $59k base get's called out and ridiculed for being absurd? :rofl:

Nice GM. Pricing is great but holy piss am in trouble for trying to sell my GS at a decent price now

Just made my day, OUTSTANDING! way to go GM.

Going to be a lot of well taken care of, cheap C6s on the market by this time next year. Perrrrrrfect. :reddevil

So for base..what would a use one go for in 12-18 months? Would 42-45k be a fair price range?

:iagree:

Ignore option in our profile is such a great thing... :thumbs:

Affordable?????

3LT for $73.000 + 12% for CA Tax & Lic. = $81.860......for a Chevy?:crazy2::crazy2:

:iagree:

I interpret them as saying, "We've listened to you complain for too long now STFU!" :rofl:

However what has happened in the past there will be a price increase of about $1500 come November. This has always happened.

Anyone who complains about the price with the options piled up (a'la Porsche) should look at what you're getting in comparison with other sports cars in the same price range. A reasonably optioned Stingray out the door for about $60-65000? You can't beat that at any price. The Corvette inches more upscale with each iteration yet remains affordable to most working folk. It's the deal of the decade.

Thanks to modern technology those of us at the Bash got the pricing at the same moment as the guys in their underware :lol:

Love the pricing. I was a bit scared that they would rack up pricing. The base car at that price is decent. Still, I want mine with the Z51 package!! These are great news!!!

:rofl:

I dont disagree but I wouldnt even go LOOK at a C6 so they aint that great.... :D

1YX07 Corvette Stingray Coupe w/ Z51 $53,800.00
 

Thought the base price included the destination fee?? per:
DETROIT –The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray coupe will have a suggested starting retail price of $51,995, and the Corvette Stingray Convertible will start at $56,995. Both prices include a $995 destination fee, but exclude tax, title, and license.

hmmm guess you are right.. even better.. makes it 71,215... might spring for the suede interior accents then :thumbs:

i just saw it on the price list and thought since the destination was listed separately for a reason

Yes, but those that went to the bash in just their underwear will have better stories to tell :eek:

You can have a 427 vert' for the price of a loaded C7. THATS a tough choice.:eek:

Yeah, I am looking at it in detail - made sure I saw that in a couple of different places....like you, I can put that $$$$ toward a FUN option LOL!!

There's a Chevy Cruze for you at the local dealer. :crazy::crazy:
The brand does NOT matter. It's the engineering, technology, packaging, performance, looks,... that count. Based on these criteria, the Stingray is world class.

Except that even a fully loaded C7's MSRP still looks better than the base price of just about any Porsche. :flag:

Also, was this not similarly the case for the C6? If you load up a C6 with the 4LT, magnetic ride, NPP, etc, etc, you get to a good 30% over the base price...

Looks like I will be able to get what I want for under 60k(not counting tax and the other bs). Nice. :cool:

Unbelievable pricing --- in a good way. Chevy, if you're listening, you have done a good thing today.

The Yanks are coming.

That is an awesome price, maybe after I am done with my Viper thrills I will look into a corvette but I can wait a little bit when they sell below sticker

The $53,800 for a Z51 car does not reflect the $995 D&D.
The base of $51,995 includes it, add $2,800 for the Z51, so $54,795 with D&D and $53,800 without.

I was curious when we saw the first few threads why GM wasn't showing pricing with the Stingray and Stingray Z51, as it appears to be in the Order Guide, but instead just a base with a Z51 option.
S.

Dito

I cant wait to trade my C5 in on one of those cheap C6's ! :thumbs:

Wouldn't that be a hoot if everyone was standing around in their underwear at the museum waiting for Harlan Charles to make the announcement. That would make for some great stories(maybe even a sticky on the forum), but no pics please..

And people were calling me NUTS :crazy2: during this past year when I'd stated that the base MSRP could come in as low as $52k (I'd even alluded to the possibility of 'high $51k range' once or twice as well ;)).
Well, there ya go. :chevy :thumbs:






Nothing relative about it, that would be a TREMENDOUS bargain for this car. :yesnod:

All the whining for no reason and this still won’t be good enough for some. This isn’t a Camaro people. The C7 is already a bargain at that price. Frankly, anything lower would be insulting to the Corvette name.

If you have issues with perspective, you can always go purchase a fully loaded 325 hp, 0 – 60 in 4.7 Porsche Cayman for 88K! 88 absolutely ridiculous, absurd and insane K people. And there isn’t anything, I mean anything, including interior or tech, that the Cayman has on the C7.

Be happy and get one!

Got confirmation from GM'er that the cost does NOT include the destination fee....there goes my museum delivery.

Your Crystal Ball is indeed incredibly accurate. Regardless, you are still NUTS :D:flag::D

That's a LOADED car that beats the 911 at a $30,000 discount with no excuses any more. I hope you're joking

No doubt!... This is great news for people like myself be looking for a low mile, 08+ C6Z for under $40k in the next year-ish... I love the C7, but kinda want to experience a C6Z first I guess...

The Cayman may have better chassis balance, steering feel/feedback, and look better to some people. And the Cayman may deliver a driving experience that some people may like more than the C7's driving experience.

Beats it how?

I added the museum delivery the first time by accident but just wanted the personal plaque...

can you get the CFX plaque with out museum delivery? if so how much

Beats it in ways that no Porsche NUT SWINGER http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/images...nutswinger.gif who trolls a Corvette message board and is motivated solely by defending/honoring ANYTHING 'Porsche' related would ever understand.
How's that?

Also true.

Just responding to a post that opined that the Cayman offers nothing over the C7; for some buyers, of course it does. I'd say the same thing about other sports cars, it just so happens that the poster mentioned the Cayman, so I mentioned it too.

I didn't bring up Porsche here.

I'm not defending Porsche in the original post I made, I'm simply pointing out that there are obviously qualities that people see in some sports cars that they like better than the qualities of other sports cars. This should be obvious to even the most casual of observers. My original post to the guy was made to point this out.

The C7 will likely be a great sports car. There are also other great sports cars on the market. Someone deciding to buy something other than the C7 doesn't make that person stupid, or blind to qualities.

Where do I get hold of the entire price list with all options defined? Is it available to download somewhere?

I think overall the Corvette will always be a bargain for what you get. As far as the C7 though, I'm not sure if the base is a "true bargain" at $52K. The only reason I say this is because a lot of the upgraded stuff that has been promoted on the C7 from the C6 (nicer interior in particular) isn't standard. This has been one of the biggest improvements from previous Corvette models and seems to be a huge selling point and makes people excited, but the leather-wrapped interior is an extra $8,005. So what does the normal base interior look like? Is it the same as the current C6 then in terms of quality? If so, there was an available option on the C6 to upgrade the leather and I believe it costed similiar to this option on the C7. The new upgraded leather should be standard on the C7, case closed.

As far as the 3LT C7 at $73K, not sure if I would call this a bargain considering you can purchase a new C6 Z06 for around this price. I guess it all depends on what a buyer wants, but personally I would rather have the performance of the Z for this price instead of the upgraded leather and sports seats, etc., which seem to be the bulk of the extra cost in this package.

I am def curious to see what a 2LT would get you.

$8,000 for 3LT...not worth it for me 1LT all I need.

I am surprised though at the base price. GM did good here.

I'm not getting all that stuff. For anyone who wants the extras, it's available. If not, you still get a lot of car for $52K plus $2800 for the Z51 with dry sump oiling, trans cooler, diff cooler, electronic limited slip, bigger brakes with thermally isolated hubs, 7 speed manual with rev match, and stickier tires. Plus it will have at least a 450hp V8 engine, carbon fiber hood and roof, and aluminum frame. That's a lot of nice hardware for the money. I don't see any car that even comes close to this in that price range. None.

$51995+$2800 Z51 + 12% for CA Tax & Lic = $61370.:thumbs:

Michael

No argument there. :thumbs:

:rofl::crazy2::crazy2:

:cheers:
I live in CA with what I want it will be $56,000 plus tax lic, and I just cant wait.

My figures are:

$51995 + $2800 Z51 = $54,795 + $4565 (tax and registration) = $59,360.

You can calculate your sales tax and registration fees for California here:

Why should upgraded leather be standard? Was it that way on C5 or C6?

Case reopened...

I'm thinking the base car is gonna be plenty of fun the street, I have no use for dry sump or 90 percent of the Z51 option....unless you really track the car, the base vette is plenty of street sports car for the money.

Because of what I said in my post. One of the biggest changes with the C7 is the new high quality interior. This is a huge selling point to gain new customers and take away those buyers who normally would go for a BMW or Porsche for example. If the C7 base interior is low quality like the C6 then what's the point of promoting the C7s new high quality interior? On C6s we were allowed to upgrade to higher quality leather if we wanted to but it was at a pricey cost. If this is the same way with the C7s interior then I am a little lost how the interior is that much better then the C6 in terms of quality. Last I recalled the Porsches and BMWs, etc. all had nice interiors and they are standard. If the C7 is supposed to be on the same level of euro cars in terms of interior quality then it would only make sense for it to be standard now. Now the suede interior that I saw in the C7 vert at the NYC auto show I can see being priced for an extra $8-10k. That shouldn't be standard.

Thanks very usefull:thumbs:

"Beats it" as in it will most likely be objectively as fast or faster in just about every single measurable performance category, and do it all for a significantly lower price, even when well equipped. And the price difference only gets bigger when taking into consideration the cost of ownership after the initial purchase.

Yes, there are subjective differences that may make people feel like spending (read: wasting :ack:) extra money on a 911, but almost every measurable category from price to performance to fuel efficiency is likely to favor the C7.

It's not all about objective numbers.

What, oil changes? Gas? The people I know that own Porsche, or Ferrari, or Audi, or BMW, or MB, or Aston Martin, etc, don't worry about the cost of incidentals like gas, oil, plugs, tires. They also don't shop sports cars based on wanting to "beat" anyone.

I think the base price is excellent. I also like that a buyer can individualize a car, and determine for themselves if some real or perceived advantage is worth the cost of the option. For me, a base coupe or vert with 7m/t would work much better than a fully loaded version. To each his own, but it is great to have the choice and still have a killer car.

This post had me :rofl:! Somebody should go and read the sales guide. There are even pictures of the different trim levels on page 15. You get a lot more than leather going from 1lt to 3lt. :rofl:

Anybody thinks a Corvette should come the a 3lt package for a base price of 51K is smoking something and it is not legal!!!:rofl:

With that said I would have liked to see the 2lt and 3lt priced a little closer together say within 2k. Either way I don't have one complaint about the pricing of the C7. Its on par with what I was expecting going from the C6 to the C7

Good Job GM!!!

Who is going to buy a 52,000 dollar unit not many. Most going
for this car want the options, not a stripo. Just like the strip
C6, they just sit on the lots.

If gm is smart they will start upping the price to recoup cost.
But a nice little lollipop for the guinea pig boys to help work
the first out recalls.

I looked at a bmw x5 yesterday. Ohhhhhh it was cheap. but
not the sport activity or premium line. And no M decor package.
So when get what want, say another 15,000

I haven't discredited the Vette at all. Stop making stuff up.

If you have any issue with me, please take it to PM. I'll be glad to discuss it with you there.

:iagree: That is plan Stupid. $595 for a good can of spray paint.

For those of you who are interested I have posted all the RPO and C7 pricing like I have done for the last 3 model years if you want to take a peek.

2014 RPO and C7 Pricing

What a load of ********. Honestly... :rofl::rofl::rofl:

yeh, 595 is nuts, but that's also the price for red calipers on the C6 GS. good to see that base price though. i expected an increase of about 4K
