2014 Corvette: even more than before, a bargain?

Corvette front quarter highGM poured a ton of new tech into the 2014 Corvette Stingray, including an aluminum frame and direct injection. So I fully expected the price to go up by about $5,000.

The reality? They raised the price by only $1,420, to $51,995. And if you adjust for the new car’s additional features, it’s actually about $500 less than the old one. This adjustment does not include the new engine and frame. Factor these in, and the new car seems a tremendous bargain, perhaps even more of one than any past Corvette.

Of course these are sticker prices. No doubt dealers have been heavily discounting the 2013s. And you’ll be lucky to only pay MSRP on a 2014.

Still, kudos to GM for somehow offering a bunch of new tech at virtually the same price.
