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.

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.

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.
