Check out this video from Edmunds where they compare the base model C8 Corvette Stingray (Z51) vs. the new C8 Z06 that was just unveiled.
In this video they cover the C8 Z06 differences from noise, power, torque, crankshafts, performance, brakes, wheels, tires, suspension, style, interior, prices and their take.
The biggest difference in our opinion is the performance with the flat plane crank 5.5 liter engine that revs to 8600 RPM and does 0 to 60 in 2.6 seconds and recently leaked 10.6 in the quarter mile.
The Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most popular and recognizable sport coupes on the road today. In this video, Edmunds’ Alistair Weaver takes a look at two different Corvettes, the 2023 Corvette Z06 and our own 2020 Corvette Stingray, and runs down the top 10 differences between them. At Edmunds, we have been a big fan of the Corvette for years, and the 2020 Corvette was the Edmunds Top Rated Sports Car for 2020. The new 2023 Corvette Z06 offers power, great handling and even comfort on the road. But what separates these two sport coupes that are only two years apart and in the same generation? Watch to find out. This is our comparison of the 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 vs. 2020 Corvette Stingray.
Check out this video from Speed Phenom where he once again drives around California to see what Chevy Dealerships are requiring to get on their C8 Z06 lists.
In our own personal experience we have talked to “smaller” Chevrolet dealerships recently and they wanted $5k deposit and will be marking up the C8 Z06 by $20k they had one person on the list so far so we would have been the 2nd but we went the Ciocca Corvette route with no mark ups at all.
YOU WON’T BELIEVE HOW MUCH $$$ DEALERS ARE CHARGING FOR THE NEW 2023 C8 Z06!
The first Chevy dealer he goes to says $2,500 if your not a new customer $5k deposit and there will be mark up. They are doing a raffle for the list and most of their C8s had a $20k mark ups.
Check out this C8 Corvette Compilation Video by KnightDriveTV at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas where he captures every C8 Corvette build at SEMA
This is every C8 Chevrolet Corvette at SEMA Las Vegas in 2021 show. TJ Hunt’s C8 Corvette StreetHunter V1.5 widebody kit was on display, as well as the 2023 C8 Z06, active aero C8 Corvette and more.
Check out this video from Sinclair Photos as he shows footage of the new 2023 C8 Z06 starting up, rolling out and revving at SEMA Show 2021 in Las Vegas.
Also, bonus footage of all the crazy builds and unveils of the most internet famous cars from brands like Rohanna Wheels, StreetHunter Designs, and more.
Per his video description about SEMA:
Today I checked out the outdoors area at SEMA where there were some of the most insane cars I’ve ever seen in my life. Widebody everything, huge trucks, and wild supercars! At the end we stumbled apon a reveal party for the C8 Corvette Z06 and it’s convertible version along with the new Nissan Z and the Hummer EV! The C8 Z06 start up and rev was amazing because it sounded like a Ferrari! I also got to see it driving which I haven’t seen on the internet before! I hope y’all enjoy!
Today at 12:00PM Eastern (Noon) in Atlantic City New Jersey there was a line wrapped around Ciocca Corvette (formerly Kerbeck Chevrolet) to hand in $2,000 deposits to secure a spot on their C8 Z06 list.
At the same time people like us in Arizona that are on multiple lists already provided a $2k wire transfer online vs flying in and joining the insane line. Little did we know at the time the wire transfer was the best way and there were a lot more wire transfers hitting faster than people standing in line giving their deposits in person.
Some more details surfaced as their C8 Z06 reservation page went live as well where you have to provide 10% of the MSRP price of your spec when its time to order your C8 Z06 which we think is a great idea to really keep serious buyers in the line vs. people still on the fence of ordering one.
The great thing about Ciocca Corvette is they didn’t start a list until after the C8 Z06 unveil and reveal date starting today vs some lists that we know of that have well over 1000+ people and it will take years for them to get the C8 Z06
From what we see this C8 Corvette buzz as we predicted creating this website is not going away anytime soon. We love this platform and have had a C8 Corvette we built (follow us on Instagram @automotiveSEO ) since March of 2020 after ordering one and getting on a list a day after the unveil in July 2019.
Here is the details from the Ciocca Corvette website on the reservation list process that started today:

Information about the Ciocca Corvette Z06 List is coming out
In this video you will see “Dadbodszn610” talk about him and his wife getting reservation #’s in the 1500s and being advised they can only have one C8 Corvette Z06 per household. He was about 60th waiting in line and gave their cash deposits around 12:30PM eastern standard time.
The people that wired the money via Wells Fargo or Bank of America seem to be getting the lower reservation numbers and good to note for any future releases this a better way to do it.

This video reveals my number and might help you find yours.
Check out this video breakdown by Brink of Speed of the new 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 High Wing that is part of the Z07 aero package.
Available with the Z07 performance package option it the greatest track capability and provides 734 pounds of downforce at 186 mph, more than any Corvette ever. Also, with the Z07 package and Carbon Fiber Wheels which reduce weight by 41lbs that is the lightest version of the new C8 Z06 around 3450 lbs dry weight before fluids and gas added.
Check out this Video Review of the Corvette C8 Z06 by Doug DeMuro who runs Cars and Bids and has a big following on YouTube for Car Reviews and the “Doug Score”.
2023 Chevy Corvette C8 Z06: Here’s a Thorough Tour of this Beast!
Some of the highlights from Doug DeMuro Corvette C8 Z06 Review
70 is on the back windshield for the 70th anniversary (they will probably introduce the “zora” for the 75th anniversary is our guess
Most powerful V8 ever made thanks to the flat plane crank engine
All Z06 Engines are hand built with their signature which we love because then you know who built it and if something happened their name is on it which we are sure gives them more pride in their work.
Z06 badges everywhere to remind you it’s not the base model C8 Stingray Z51
Multiple Carbon Fiber Interior Packages for the New Z06 Corvette C8
Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel
The interior comes in 7 different colors, 7 different seat belts, and 7 different brake caliper colors.
The convertible performs as well as the coupe because of the rigidity
Check out this video by Chevy Dude where he covers 10 things you might have missed during the 2023 Z06 Corvette reveal.
One of the most interesting things he mentions is the C8 Corvette Z06 on an All Wheel Drive Dyno. If this car is pushing 670 horsepower with an All Wheel Drive option like a Lamborghini 610-4 we might be able to see low 10s in the quarter mile stock.
Also, with the E Ray, Hybrid Corvette C8 ZR1, and possibly Zora (all electric) Corvette that pushes 1000 Horsepower like the Tesla Plaid going all wheel drive will be a must to compete and not spin since spinning ain’t winning!
Some other things he points out on the Corvette C8 Z06 is;
Z06 was a 25k+ increase with the C7 = $87195, he thinks $89,995 plus mark ups unless Chevy takes those additional mark ups and starts the Corvette Z06 C8 pricing at $99,995
Summer 2022 July/August will be the start of production of the C8 Corvette Z06 so we most likely wont see the 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 hit lots until Fall of 2022 since on average it takes 60 days for maximum production rates of the C8 Corvette
UPDATE: April 2022 Chevy Announced a Full Electric and Hybrid C8 Corvette with all wheel drive
