The MSRP on PDK models went up 4.6% ($109k vs 114k). Doesn't seem crazy to me.
KBB has the average transaction price around $35,000 for a new car today. I would expect a poster car to be 3-4x cost of an 'average' car.
A 1980 Porsche 911SC was around $32,000 whereas a Mustang Cobra was around $7,000 (4.5x).
A 1986 Porsche 911 was around $37,000 and an 87' 5.0 Mustang was $15,724 (2.4x)
Nowadays a 5.0 PP2 Mustang runs $44,850 vs $114,350 (2.5x)
Seems to be inline with historical relativity.
As for the mid-engine Corvette; that'll be a cool 6 figures, too. I suspect the entry will start around $89,000 and the Grand Sport model is going to come in around $105,000 or right around where a 992.1 C2 will start with a Z06 trim sporting $130,000 and a Z51 topping out around $200,000

Funny, I did the same thing last night. I spec’d out the same 991 I’ve previously done on the website. The old one came up in the mid $130s. The 992 rang up at $168k.
...And just because an Escalade has $100k on the sticker doesn’t mean you’ll wind up paying that (unless you’re the worst negotiator in the world). When we bought our Suburban, we cross-shopped Escalades and the transaction prices were in the mid $70s in spite of the six figure price tags.
