In this video by Rebuild Everything he shares his new car build as a 2021 Red Mist C8 Corvette with Natural dipped interior. Also, it came with Bronze Niche Wheels but he’s contemplating should he go widebody kit or maybe a carbon fiber aero package like Racing Sport Concepts provides.
He is going for a one of one show stopper approach. This way if he goes to car shows people will think it really stands out and want to take a look at what he built.
We think he should do the Racing Sport Concepts Carbon Fiber Aero Kit, Exhaust, Sport Cats, Headers, lower it, wrap it, and change the wheels out to some of the other C8 Corvette aftermarket wheel options we have covered on the site.
In this video with Rick Corvette Conti he shares the stats on all of the 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 Test Vehicle and pre production builds.
Rick is a car salesman at Couglin Chevrolet of Pataskala in Pataskala Ohio and specializes in selling only corvettes for the dealership.
He gets information directly from General Motors and Chevrolet when it comes to ordering, production, allocations and as the Chevy dealers get the information in the US.
He has mentioned his store was going to have a bidding war for the 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 with his allocations going to the top bidders. Not sure if that has changed or not but that is what he has shared on his social media profile and YouTube when the C8 Corvette Z06 was revealed in October 2021.
In the breakdown he shares there are 96 captured test fleet Corvette Z06s with 54% being coupes and 46% being convertibles. In the video you can learn more about the 96 Test and pre production 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 vehicles and learn how Chevrolet built each car.
The one thing we noticed is the break down seems like a real retail production run and what it really would look like with the options being very similar to what we think people would choose or have chosen with the 2023 C8 Corvette base model stingrays as well.
This makes a lot of sense since Chevrolet has released C8 Z06 pricing and is opening ordering July 28th with Chevy dealers but hasn’t released the production schedule, allocations, and the Nurburgring time.
With the C8 Corvette Z06 getting closer to start production in September of 2022 that means they are going to have to provide information on the C8 Z06 and possibly the Electric Corvette Hybrid Assist E Ray soon as well.
People will want to know the performance numbers of both C8 Corvette models and variants to know what they are getting performance wise for each of their respective starting pricing as the C8 Z06 starts at $106,000.
You can see the C8 Corvette Z06 and Eray testing at the Nurburgring at about the 4:45 mark of this video.

In this video by TJ Hunt he takes his girlfriend Sabrina Leamon to West Coast Exotics in California to check out a trade offer on her C8 Corvette for a 2017 Nissan GTR.
As you can imagine we are biased and agree with a lot of the points at the end of the video. For example, although a Nissan GTR is fast and can be modded for even more performance a lot easier than a C8 Corvette with a locked ECU the interior and exterior design is very outdated.
The interior alone in a C8 Corvette with the latest technology and getting a complete facelift is so driver focused and beautiful the GTR interior looks 10 years behind.
Also, the exterior of the C8 Corvette and being a Mid Engine car has a lot more of an exotic look in our opinion. What do you think? Leave a comment below.
Getting an INSANE Trade Offer For Sabrina’s C8 Corvette!…Did She make a mistake?
In this video by DPC Cars on YouTube they have compiled the exhaust sounds of the new Mid Engine Chevrolet 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 with the flat plane crank ripping around the Nürburgring.
You can also see the different variants from the C8 Z06 with the Z07 Carbon Fiber aero package to the low wing non Z07 aero package. With the recent release of the C8 Z06 pricing starting at $106,000 more and more people are researching videos and content like this to see what the Nürburgring times are and if it’s going to come in under 7 seconds for this starting price.
Per their video description about the New C8 Corvette Z06
The 2023 Corvette Z06 debuts an all-new 5.5L DOHC V-8 engine that marks a return to natural aspiration for the track-capable performance model.
Engine responsiveness and trackability, two characteristics of naturally aspirated motors, were the top priorities for providing an engaging driving experience for purists.
As a result, it was determined that a clean sheet naturally aspirated powerplant was needed, with the goal of exceeding the power of any naturally aspirated production V-8 engine ever made. A lightweight, flat-plane crank design enables the engine to rev to the high rpms needed to create significant power.
More than horsepower, the new LT6 is designed to complement all aspects of the Z06’s track-focused performance experience. From its 8,600-rpm redline and full racing-style dry-sump oiling system to meticulously tuned induction and exhaust systems, this engine exudes an entirely new and emotional character.
The key to the LT6’s performance capability is a lightweight, low-inertia rotating assembly rooted in an all-new flat-plane crankshaft that, along with a comparatively short stroke (the distance each piston/connecting rod assembly travels with each rotation of the crankshaft), allows the engine to rev to its maximum range.
A version of the LT6 has powered the C8.R race cars since 2019, and the rigors of endurance road racing helped engineers refine the engine’s performance and durability.
Z07 Performance Package additional features include:
Carbon fiber aero package with larger front splitter, front-corner dive planes, a rear wing and underbody strakes that enhance downforce
Unique FE7 suspension with specific Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 calibrations Michelin Sport Cup 2 R ZP tires developed specifically for the Z06 Available carbon fiber wheels that deliver a 41-pound (18.6 kg) reduction in unsprung mass Brembo® carbon ceramic brake system featuring larger, 15.7-inch-diameter (398 mm) front rotors and 15.4-inch-diameter (391 mm) rear rotors
When equipped with the Z07 performance package in the track prepared configuration on a 300-foot diameter circle, the car is capable of 1.22 g of road-hugging grip. The Z06 is based on the same robust architecture as the Stingray — a rigid structure that enabled engineers to fine-tune the car’s chassis and suspension components with exceptional precision.
The C8 Z06 is so stiff that the track-capable Z06 is offered in a hardtop convertible model, and there is no variance in the suspension calibrations between it and the coupe.
In these videos from YouTubers Speed Phenom, Rick Corvette Conti (who works at a top Chevy dealer), and Brink of Speed you finally get to see the C8 Corvette Z06 Pricing starting at $106,395 for the Coupe and $113,895 for the Convertible variant.
For the C8 Z06 1LZ Coupe they are $106,395 and $113,895 for the Convertible
For the C8 Z06 2LZ Coupe its $115,595 and $122,595 Convertible
For the C8 Z06 3LZ Coupe it’s $120,245 and $127,245 Convertible.
Also, the Z07 Performance package is an $8,995 add on, to add the Carbon Fiber Aero package its $10,495 for the visible carbon fiber or $8,495 for the Carbon Flash Painted C8 Z06
Finally the Carbon Fiber Wheels only available with the Z07 package with 41 pound weight reduction are going to cost $11,995 for the visible carbon fiber and $9,995 for the Carbon Flash painted carbon fiber wheels.
So if you were to get a C8 Corvette Z06 3LZ Convertible with the Z07 Visible carbon fiber package, with the carbon fiber wheels in visible carbon fiber would put you at $158,730 not including other options besides the top C8 Z06 packages. C8 Corvette Z06 Ordering will start on July 28th, 2022.
Do you think the Z07 package worth it since you will have to pay another $8k-$10k for the Carbon Fiber Aero Package or would you rather go with an aftermarket C8 Corvette Carbon Fiber body kit from a company like Racing Sport Concepts?

Here is a video from Rick Corvette Conti at Coughlin Chevrolet of Pataskala one of the Top 10 Corvette Dealers in the United States. He has confirmed this C8 Corvette Z06 pricing is official and production will start in September 2022 as Corvette has said all along “late summer”
GM JUST Officially RELEASED the 2023 C8 Z06 Corvette Price!
PRICING IS HERE! Full 2023 Corvette Z06 Price List Announced *NOT CHEAP!*
As the C8 Corvette Z06 pricing has officially been released more and more YouTubers are sharing their opinion of the pricing of the C8 Z06 which is a lot higher than was expected before dealer over MSRP mark ups.
The New Z06 is WAY More Expensive than I thought! All Pricing Revealed
I give you an in depth look at the pricing on the 2023 C8 Z06 to include prices on all options. This car turned out to be much more expensive than I original thought. What do you think about the new Z06? Do you think it will be worth the price?
C8 Z06 OPTIONS & PRICING are HERE! Is it WORTH $150K+?
In this video by Fred’s Full Throttle he covers what he thinks about the new C8 Corvette Z06 pricing since he is on MacMulkin’s C8 Z06 list and been making videos about the C8 Z06 since joining that list. You can sense a bit of hesitation but he does seem like he will be going with a build just having to cut back now more than expected to afford the C8 Z06.
He sounds a like a lot of the people we have been seeing in Facebook groups, forums, and in our comments section and on our IG @C8CorvetteBlog where they were expecting it to follow the C7 Z06 pricing model from the base model and be only 25k more or so.
These four questions (c8 corvette price, ordering, production and Nürburgring times) have been on everyone’s minds since the C8 Corvette Z06 reveal and unveil in October 2021.
Check out their video and recorded live stream they have every Tuesday to see what they think an other C8 Corvette related content.
Welcome back everyone to LIVE Octane Hour, with Neighbor Mark and Darren. Today we will discuss whether the Z06 will truly start being produced in just 7 short weeks, and break all of what that means to you right now in the next 7 days.
If you are searching for or have purchased a front splitter for the C8 Corvette this installation video from Racing Sport Concepts can help guide you through the process.
Their carbon fiber parts for the Corvette C8 come highly recommended and have great reviews since they are high quality and built for performance in mind. They were also the first carbon fiber part company to create the ducktail spoiler for the C8 Corvette and other brands like Porsche, BMW, and Lamborghini. They are very innovative and have great customer service and shipping times as well.
C8 Corvette Front Splitter Installation Video
Detailed instructions on how to quickly and easily install your Racing Sport Concepts Front Splitter to your Corvette C8 with no drilling, cutting, or any other type of modification to the stock bodywork. Easily installed in 30 minutes this front splitter transforms your vehicle instantaneously setting it apart from the rest.
As he mentions being on the inside as a Corvette Salesman at a Chevrolet Dealership he knows more about it and has more intel but can’t provide definitive dates.
He did say the C8 Corvette Z06 pricing and ordering is coming very soon and things are moving forward. Chevrolet and the Corvette media team has been saying “late summer” all along.
So for all the rumors, speculation, about something being wrong with the Corvette Z06 C8 it’s more than likely if there are any delays past late summer it’s more likely to do the supply chain issues the entire country and every car manufacturer is facing since China controls a lot of the chip flow.
Also, he discussed how the Green C8 Corvette Z06 NFT was a huge flop with the timing of crypto being down big from the $60k level in bitcoin (now under $18k when writing this) and Ethereum peaking close to $5k and now at almost $1k .
In this video you can see Rick Corvette Conti address some of the other clickbait YouTubers that talk about the C8 Corvette Z06 with nothing but speculation and guesses.
As you can see he is frustrated with the content people are putting out on YouTube that is making his life as a Corvette salesmen harder having to field calls when people on YouTube try to “confirm” unconfirmed information about the C8 Z06.
Be careful who you get your information from about the C8 Corvette online.
