Check out this video by DetroitMuscle313 on YouTube where he spots an Elkhart Lake Blue C8 Corvette Z06 out on the road.

Right away his first impression is a good one and he mentions how big the tires are since the new C8 Z06 come with Michelin 345/25ZR/21 rear tires.

He also mentions how the C8 Z06 looks a lot more exotic like other mid engine supercars and now with the flat plane crank it has the high revving sounds as well. In this video you will see this is the base model C8 Corvette Z06 since it doesn’t have the higher bird like wing in the rear as the spoiler although it does look like the side skirts are carbon fiber. 

Chevrolet or the Corvette Engineers have been testing these New C8 Corvette Z06s out on the roads in public without any camo a lot more recently we just posted one spotted in the Hypersonic Gray color as well.

What do you think of the Elkhart Lake Blue Corvette C8 Z06?

Check out this video review of the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 by Top Gear on YouTube. They cover all the specs, options, and performance numbers.

Per their C8 Z06 video description

This is the new Corvette Z06, and we’ll get the big news out of the way first: it’s being made in right-hand drive. It marks the first time we might be able to buy the most athletic ‘Vette officially in the UK. But with 670bhp, it’s also the world’s most powerful nat-asp V8 you can get. And in Z07 spec it has carbon wheels and a ginormous wing. Oh, and it also makes a fabulous noise. So allow Top Gear’s Ollie Marriage to geek out about it so you know the score before it hits our shores

If you want to learn more about the new C8 Z06 we have compiled a resource of every video, article, and post about the C8 Corvette Z06 here.

Also, some of our other popular C8 Z6 posts have been;

• C8 Corvette Z06 base vs Z07 package
• C8 Corvette Z06 Ciocca Corvette Reservations

 

In this video, Speed Phenom on YouTube asks his viewers and audience if he should sell his C8 Corvette C8R Special Edition for the New C8 Z06.

In our mind this is a no brainer and being a YouTuber its a no brainer for him as well since he uses each car as content for his YouTube Channel.

We’re sure he already had this in mind when he flipped his C8 Corvette Stingray at Carmax for this “special edition” C8.R where they are only producing 1000 units.

Guaranteed the C8 Z06 with the flat plane crank engine will hold its value and still be more valuable than a special edition base model Z51 C8 Corvette with stickers regardless of only making 1000 units. 

He admits he’s not a “car collector” and only 21 years old so it sounds like C8R special edition was for content and he will be getting a C8 Z06.

What do you think? Keep a “Special Edition” C8.R or get a C8 Corvette Z06?

Check out these videos from the Drive 615 YouTube channel and Instagram of @Drive615 by Byron Glover Jr. where he finds a 2023 Red Mist C8 Corvette Z06 at the Country Music Awards.

Per his video of the New Corvette Z06 C8

Exclusive look at a 2023 C8 Z06 Chevrolet Corvette in the wild. This 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Mid-Engine C8 Z06 was finished in red mist over the natural interior.

This particular spec was a 2023 Z06 Convertible and did not have the Z07 package. I waited outside the CMA (Country Music Awards) show here in Nashville Tennessee to see and hear this New Corvette Z06 start up and drive.

The exhaust note on the new 2023 C8 Z06 Chevrolet Corvette sounded so good and I was happy to see it moving about the streets of Nashville.

Also, he went back there at night to see them load it on a truck and got a side by side comparison of the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with his 2015 C7 Z06 Corvette. The 2023 Corvette z06 in Red Mist with the polished brushed standard wheels looked amazing.

2023 C8 Z06 vs. C7 Z06 [4K Comparison]

Per his 2023 Corvette Z06 Comparison video description

World’s first comparison of a 2023 C8 Z06 and a 2015 C7 Z06. This 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Mid-Engine C8 Z06 was finished in red mist over the natural interior. This particular spec was a 2023 Z06 Convertible and did not have the Z07 package.

I compare it to my 2015 C7 Z06 Corvette finished in Arctic white over an adrenaline red interior. You can hear both exhaust idling in one clip too.

The C8 Z06 LT6 engine produces 670 hp at 8,400 rpm and 460 lb-ft of torque at at 6,300 rpm. It also comes equipped with double overhead cams, dry-sump lubrication, and a flat-plane crankshaft. It revs to 8,600 RPM.

If you want to learn more about the Corvette C8 Z06 check out this post as we keep a real time updated list of pricing, specs, colors, production dates, allocations, car dealers that are selling them at MSRP like Ciocca Corvette.

Check out this video by HorsePower Obsessed to learn what Chevy dealers are saying the new C8 Corvette Z06 pricing will be.

We have speculated in the $85-90k range since the C7 Z06 was about $25k more then the base C7 Z06.

In this video you will hear from HorsePower Obsessed thinks the $87,000 starting MSRP pricing for the Corvette C8 Z06 makes perfect sense before adding any options.

Keeping in mind this will be before any markups of the Corvette C8 Z06 which we have already heard anywhere from $20k minimum mark up to $200,000 mark ups currently.

After Justin with HorsePower Obsessed shared the pricing information that two Chevy dealers he works with told him the $87,000 price Brink of Speed jumped in with his two cents.

Keeping in mind this all speculation, however HorsePower Obsessed’s video does make it seem like a very likely his salesman that has had accurate information in the past is correct. It will be interesting to see if he is right again for now we can all make our guesses on the C8 Z06 pricing.

More C8 Z06 Corvette Pricing Speculation

Ever since HorsePower Obsessed posted the “confirmed” pricing his comment section, the corvette blogs and forums, and YouTubers have been jumping in. There are even comments that say “It’s going to start at $92,000 and this is coming from someone that has family members working from GM not in a car dealership”.

Now Speed Phenom has jumped in to say the $87,000 price of the Corvette Z06 C8 model is wrong and it will be $89,995 to start.

Check out his video where he provides his full price analysis for the new 2023 C8 Corvette Z06

It’s funny because if General Motors or Chevrolet announced pricing on the release date none of this content and speculation would even exist but it is fun trying to be Nostradamus I suppose.

THIS is why the C8 Corvette Z06 Pricing is Delayed!?

C8 Z06 Corvette MSRP Pricing Imminent!

We review the signs that pricing will soon be released for the C8 Z06 Corvette, the prototypes seen at the Indy 500, potential order dates, and possible CTF sightings.

Did GM just TELL us the C8 Z06 PRICE is Coming SOON!?

Did GM just TELL us the C8 Z06 PRICE is Coming SOON!? Ladies and gentlemen, todays LIVE stream is all about the 2023 C8 Z06 and when we will have pricing for it. GM just released 2 new videos which IMO tells us that we we are super close to getting a price sooner than later.

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.

To learn more about the difference between the 2023 C8 Z06 base model vs the 2023 C8 Z06 Z07 package check out our post here that predicted some of the elements like tires, wheels, and aero that would enhance the performance of the C8 Z06 track package variant.

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
• Torque is not improved from the Stingray C8 Corvette
• 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;

• Copo on the cylinder heads
• 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

After the C8 Corvette Z06 Chevy has announced there will be an all wheel drive hybrid assist C8 Corvette and then a full electric C8 Corvette after that as well.

First LOOK C8 Z06’s MOST POWERFUL LT6 NA V8 with 670HP!

2023 Corvette Z06 Details WE STILL DON’T Know

They still didn’t provide production or release dates, pricing (most likely $85-$95k to start), lists and mark up information. We have heard dealers already with 1000+ people on their lists and will be marking them up again anywhere from $10-50k.

Other things they didn’t mention was top speed and weight (updated here, 3450 with the Z07 full carbon fiber/wheels). So our guess is either its the same or not impressive enough to share.

2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Production Dates and Ordering

We have heard from a local Arizona Chevy dealer that the production will start in the summer of 2022. Also, dealers like Coughlin Chevrolet just announced they will using a bidding process for highest bidders to get the C8 Z06 first. You can learn more about that at Rick Corvette Conti’s YouTube channel.

In another recent update here in January of 2022 there are several YouTubers and C8 Forums buzzing about a part supplier for the C8 Z06 saying they need to be ready April 22nd producing the part they do for the Corvette Z06 which coincides close to the 2023 C8 Corvette May 9th production dates released to dealers.

The new videos that Chevrolet keeps releasing keeps talking about putting the world on notice as a global car and to take on the exotics and supercars.

This was recently discussed here in a YouTube video about how the C8 Z06 Production will not be limited which again is speculation and nothing official from General Motors or Chevrolet.
