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.
Today, they have officially announced its ready to ship. Here are some of the highlights of ProCharger’s Supercharger for the Corvette C8. It’s interesting to note the horsepower increase is pretty close to the new C8 Z06 670HP with the flat plane crank and actually edging it out by 5+ HP or so.
This was a year long development process and they wanted to make sure everything was tested, fitted, and the drivability is good. Also, install was a bolt on the kit so it doesn’t take away from the trunk space and matches aesthetics and looks even better with their carbon fiber accents.
ProCharger Supercharger for C8 Corvette Highlights
.3 reduction in 0-60 times.
8 additional MPH in the 1/4 mile.
Reduction in lap times on road course.
675+ HP on the dyno when using 93 octane.
Per ProCharger’s YouTube video:
After over a year of research, design, and rigorous testing the wait is finally over, and it’s SO worth it! ProCharger superchargers is happy to announce the world’s first supercharger system for the C8 Corvettes is NOW SHIPPING! That’s right, you can have Z06 power, without the wait!
BUILT FOR THE STREET: HO TUNER KIT PLUS DELIVERS 675+ HP
Yes, that’s right six hundred and seventy five HP from this LT2 package on only 6.5psi of boost and premium pump gas. These are the perfect system for those wanting a daily driver that has to have “more power than the other guy” without complication. Meaning, no additional fuel systems, no methanol injection, no port injection, just good old fashion boost. Thankfully when you combine the ultra-efficient P-1X ProCharger supercharger and massive air to water intercooler system, the power gains even on just 6.5psi are phenomenal with just 93 octane pump gas.

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 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.

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

He finally got the C8 Corvette in the 8s in the quarter mile at Orlando Speedway. The tough part about this process is the car needed upgraded clutches and a twin turbo set up with a piggy back tuning system.
First to the 8 seconds! FuelTech’s C8 Corvette! New World Record | 8.973 @ 160mph!
Per their video description on YouTube
It is Official—the FuelTech C8 Corvette is the first to eclipse the 8-second zone when Anderson Dick piloted it to an 8.973 at 160.9 mph while racing at Orlando Speed World.
It has been a longtime coming as the team added a twin turbo system last year and integrated the award-winning FT600 engine management system to the vehicle. The inclusion of the PowerFT engine management system is a feat upon itself as it works in conjunction with the PCM, providing the proper fuel, spark, and power management to keep the turbocharged LT2 running smoothly.
The previous best elapsed time was a stout 9.01 at 153 mph, which came shortly after the FuelTech group pushed the hub dyno numbers to a jaw-dropping 1,350 WHP. The factory PCM runs most of the vehicle systems and Anderson and his crew developed a work-around to avoid the factory-programmed torque management. A second FuelTech ECU was installed for drivetrain management, allowing the vehicle to be used in dedicated drag strip or road course applications.
Understandably, Anderson wouldn’t reveal too much on the drivetrain control until as they continue to develop it into a turnkey solution for the motorsports world. He did admit that a major component to the transmission performance is the ability to tune the clutch- pressure and take full advantage of the Stage 2 Dodson clutches, which utilizes 9 and 10 frictions in comparison to the OEM clutch setup with 5 and 6. The team also added a newer, taller rear tire size; 305/45/18 Mickey Thompson ET Street R drag radials help apply the power, a step up from the 325/35/18 drag radials the team ran this past summer. The new tire size allows for a longer first gear and helped knock back the ratio on the top-end for bigger speeds. The Mickey Thompson rubber is mounted on a pair of stylish Weld Laguna wheels.
The engine combination is a simple one as it uses two Garrett G35-900 turbochargers mounted topside and they are capable of providing plenty of boost to the fortified LT2 engine. The engine components were sourced from Gwatney Performance and the line-up includes forged Diamond Pistons that are mated to extremely strong Wiseco Boostline connecting rods. Anderson also consults with Pro Line on the engine platform for optimum durability.
The engine compartment is very straightforward—the turbo kit doesn’t have an intercooler due to the use of methanol fuel to help cool the incoming air. Late Model Racecraft’s Steve Fereday was a heavy influence when Anderson embarked on building the turbo combination. The turbo package relies on Turbosmart wastegates, which are essential components due to the extreme demands for this combination’s power management. The quick response is paramount to accurate shifting and drag strip performance. The next step is to switch to Turbosmart’s new electronic wastegates for even better control and the FuelTech FTManager software includes that option already.
A couple of turbochargers are almost not enough when chasing records. Nitrous Outlet provides extra air to the engine through chemical enhancement, which also helps cool down the non-intercooled turbocharged air. Anderson has been adamant that the reason for the exceptional launches and quick 60-foot times are due to the instant hit of nitrous off the starting line.
The Corvette features a unique dual fuel system setup that uses the factory direct injection and the stock fuel tank for primary fuel delivery. A complete second fuel system has been added to the Corvette with an Aeromotive brushless pump delivering VP Racing Fuels M1 to an independent set of fuel injectors, which are mounted in a custom sheetmetal intake manifold.
The team relies on the primary FT600 as a data logger to record factory sensors at a high sampling rate in addition to an assortment of FuelTech sensors. The Corvette employs two WB-O2 Nano meters that monitor the air/fuel ratio through Bosch LSU 4.2 sensors in the exhaust. Other sensors wired into the FT600 include backpressure canister, 0-150 psi pressure sensor to monitor the port fuel injection, two backpressure sensors for each turbocharger as well as turbocharger speed sensors. Anderson also added two FuelTech EGT-4 kits, which allows individual cylinder EGT monitoring for all eight cylinders, aiding in complete data collection and engine safety.
The R&D team also disclosed a major accomplishment and improvement—they have the ability to fully control ignition timing and throttle position, this enables the power management required for the ultimate in track-focused performance.
