I found a website, that calculates inflation rates from whichever year you pick, til today. So for example, I’ll use my car: In 1988, it MSRP’ed for **$22,000.** Using this [Calculator](http://inflationdata.com/inflation/Inflation_Rate/InflationCalculator.asp) it will tell you the inflation rate to use. Mine is **74.95%** P.S.- I had to go January 1988 to January 2007, it didn’t like using any other month for some reason. Now, using this [Calculator](http://inflationdata.com/inflation/Inflation_Rate/HowMuchWould%20it%20costCalculator.asp), punch in the MSRP, and rate you got from the above calculator, and it will give you your result. My car would MSRP for **$38,489.00** in todays time, if it were new. I thought this tool was pretty cool. ---

The inflation rate on woodys z is 50.38% MSRP was around 42k I think so the price today would be $63,159.60 ---

A shadow ES was around the 11-13k mark. Today around. $20429.123 Which isn’t all that bad considering what it came with, I’m rather surprised. ---

Honestly though I figured it wouldn’t be that hard to find, yet I’ve had no luck finding it for either the Camaro for Firebird in or near that year. ---

Is the second calculator really necessary? Are people that stupid? My Saab was 32k before taxes in 1997, so it would be 41k today. ---

Lotus would be about $115,000. MR2, about $38000. Civic is about $14000. These are estimates, but I’d venture to guess they’re pretty accurate. ---
