2023 Corvette Stingray To Get Optional Black Exhaust Tips

The 2023 Chevy Corvette Stingray will arrive as the fourth model year for the latest Chevy Corvette C8, introducing only minor changes and updates over the previous 2022 Chevy Corvette Stingray. Notably, customers interested in customizing their 2023 Corvette Stingray can do so with optional Black Exhaust Tips.
Unfortunately, images of the new Black Exhaust Tips are currently unavailable. That said, early spy photos up the upcoming Corvette 70th Anniversary Edition do capture a black finish for the rear tips.
The new optional Black Exhaust tips slated for inclusion on the 2023 Corvette Stingray options list are tagged with RPO code NGA. The optional black tips will be available across all trim levels of the 2023 Corvette Stingray, offered as a standalone option, but requiring the optional performance exhaust system (RPO code NPP).
As GM Authority covered previously, the production start date for the 2023 Corvette Stingray has been pushed back to May 16th, per sources familiar with the matter. The 2023 Corvette Stingray was originally slated to hit production May 9th, but the date was pushed back due to a one-week shutdown at the GM Bowling Green plant in March, the result of a parts shortage. The GM Bowling Green facility has been the exclusive producer of the Chevy Corvette since 1981.
Order books for the 2023 Corvette Stingray opened April 7th. Among the highlights of the 2023 model year is the introduction of the 70th Anniversary Edition, a new package that’s available for both Coupe and Convertible body styles, and includes a variety of aesthetic changes for the interior and exterior.
Also of note is the deletion of the Sky Cool Gray / Strike Yellow interior color, as well as the introduction of the new Chevy Corvette C8 Z06.
As a reminder, the C8 Corvette Stingray is motivated by the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 gasoline engine, which is rated at 495 horsepower at 6,450 rpm and 470 pound-feet of torque at 5,150 rpm when equipped with the optional performance exhaust system. Routing output to the rear wheels is the 8-speed dual clutch M1L automatic transmission, while under the skin is the GM Y2 architecture.

so much better black tips on certain colors a great customization option for 200
I guess this will help hide any signs of the engine running rich!
I’m getting kinda tired of seeing all these updates on what is available or not….blah,blah,blah. How about try making some cars that people have ordered? We ordered a 2021 C* and right now ( 14 months later) we are hoping we get a 2023…damn frustrating.
I was at Gold Rush Chevrolet this morning for service and they were prepping a brand new Corvette-R. Acid yellow color, it was quite an exotic looking car. Something any downtrodden American could be proud of in these sad times. Ferraris and Lambos costing twice to three or four times as much just look plain arrogant and stupid by comparison.
The screaming yellow outlier was in fact the only car on a lot full of trucks with an empty showroom and the few brochures on the racks were for 2020 Malibus. Not 2022’s. Of course, there were no actual Malibus anywhere. It was all in all a severely depressing scene, far from the excitement of visiting a Chevrolet dealer not so very long ago. No signs, no banners, no cars to speak of. No enthusiasm. The feeling is that it comes from the top down and the people running gm are expressly to blame. No advertising, no marketing materials. No Heartbeat. Just Soviet Block bleak.
At least the people there were friendly and reassured me the Corvette was headed for the empty showroom when I mentioned to them just how depressing the entire scene was. Kind of like all this excitement generated by some de-contented soot masking exhaust tips.
Of course, for the markup they’re charging, you could buy a new Malibu. If they had one.
If you can mark it up to $123K, why stop there? Why not $200K? No point worrying about being gm goodwill ambassadors when there’s so much money in the hands of the relative few. MSRP has become such a joke that Ford is onto something with cracking down on dealer price inflation merely to distance themselves from the abject greed that’s damaging their reputation.
Seems half of new C8s and Broncos end up at Mecum within a few months anyway. Now there’s the ultimate forum for Richie Rich and friends to unlimber their timbers and show everyone just how wealthy they are in what amounts to one of the world’s most high-profile pissing contests.
Well said, Idiot Boy! 😉
Tony, I feel for you, I understand the long waits and delays can take there toll! However, I placed my order back in March of 2021. I just received my 2022 Torch Red Coupe on Wednesday April 20th. That was approximately a 14 months wait and yes it was rough. Again after receiving my car let me tell you it’s well worth the wait. As far as cost my dealer (Palmetto Chevrolet) in Conway, SC sold me my Corvette for MSRP, tax and tags. There were no premiums what so ever, I know there are dealers out there gouging customers so avoid them. If you truly want this car find a good dealership and prepare to be patient. Believe you me, it’s well worth the wait! Good luck!
When will the Z06 pricing come out???
