2023 Corvette Z06 Pricing To Be Announced Shortly

Ever since the 2023 Corvette Z06 debuted last spring, it seems most Corvette fans have been thinking the same thing: “that’s great and all, but how much is it?” GM Authority is happy to report that loyal Chevy fans won’t have to wait much longer for an answer, with GM set to divulge full pricing details for the upcoming mid-engine supercar.

Not only will pricing for the 2023 Corvette Z06 likely be shared in the very, very near future, but the order books will also open shortly after this announcement. Chevy fans who want to get their hands on one of the quickest and most capable Corvette models ever produced should get their chequebooks ready, it would seem. For reference, the C7-generation Corvette Z06 1LZ Coupe started at $81,995.

While production of the 2023 Corvette Stingray began late last month, this obviously did not apply to the high-performance Z06. Some highlights of the 2023 Corvette Z06 include an all-new naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine, rated at 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, which boasts an impressive 8,600-rpm redline and a decidedly exotic-sounding exhaust note. The LT6 also features a flat-plane crank, active split intake manifold, twin 87 mm throttle bodies, and a race-inspired dry-sump oiling system.

Outside, the new Z06 is easily identifiable thanks to its widebody stance and revised aerodynamics, the latter of which can be upgraded further with the Z07 Performance Package. This track-oriented equipment group adds a full carbon fiber aero package, along with larger carbon ceramic brakes (coming in at 15.7 inches in front and 15.4 inches in the rear) along with stickier Michelin Sport Cup 2 R ZP tires and optional carbon fiber wheels.

The 2023 Corvette Z06 will be offered in both Coupe and Convertible body styles. Production will take place alongside the standard C8 Corvette Stingray at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

  1. Good luck trying to obtain one though! We would be buyers might be waiting for a few years!

  2. In theory, they should release pricing within 2 weeks or so.
    That would line up with the C7 Z06 reveal and price announcement.
    My guess is starting MSRP $86,995 + Destination Freight Charge.
    I’m # 2 at my dealership! I just want the price alreeady so I can know exact spec I’m getting haha

  3. I know the dealership will do the right thing and not charge ADM on this

    1. Just gotta do your own research & find some honest folks that still have spots available.
      Theres still some out there. Best of luck!

  4. Shocked if it lands below 6 digits.

  5. I predict a highly optioned Z06 to be over 125K. Source, someone I have know many years that works for Delphi. Carbon wheels, 135K.

  6. It’s going to be in the 6 figures. They just announced the Escalade V for $150K and this is going to be $90K? No way.

    1. Jay Leno let it slip and hinted at a sub 100k start. With all the customization available it could have a 90-130k range including the Z07 package.

  7. I delayed retirement , expecting to be able to place my order. But I am quite sure, delivery will not take place in what time I have left. So I will stick to my 2021. And when the day comes that I see a Unicorn on my lawn, and the pet store calls
    to say they hatched that dragon egg. And when monkeys fly out my butt….. I will know the Z06 price has been announced, and that deliveries began.

  8. And do not forget that many dealers will add another $10,000 to this price.

    Reply
    1. Many will, but not all. Quite a few dealers are committed to MSRP, but you have to hunt. Then a new problem happens, I have 2 dealers willing to do MSRP for me, small names in small towns, their comment was, but I might only get 2 or 3 a year, and you are number 10 on the list.

      Reply
    2. A lot of dealers are charging 30k-50k with over 100 people on the their list.

      Reply
    3. $10,000 – at least ! Probably more

      Reply
    4. In California I saw 30k and 40k Mark ups for the Stingray. It seems to me that $10,000 is awfully conservative.

  9. I wanted a Z06, but the lines are too long. So I will look forward to the stories of first time owners crashing theirs in the many spectacular ways. Maybe I will start a scrapbook of Z06 accidents, just for research and documentation purposes.

    Reply
    1. So because you can’t have one, you want others to be in accidents with theirs…very nice.

      Reply
  10. I got a lot of thumbs down last time I wrote this…
    If Chevy had enough parts to do it, and built only Z06 full time (186 per day or so) to fill the waiting orders, I think it might reduce the outrageous dealer mark up (one dealer claimed they would add $100,000) or at least help even out the market.
    Then after a few months of doing that, return to a normal mixed production process. A lot of C8’s are now out there, available. Not overpriced. Make just Z06’s for a little while, let us get our hands on them.

    1. Wouldn’t be surprised if they actually do that. This car will sell out at whatever price they put it at, and make no mistake, the current market environment has made GM as greedy as the dealers who will charge 5 figures over sticker for it. Corvettes are GM’s high-risk-high-reward play, and this risk paid off if they can just build enough of them.

      My store and most stores within 50 miles of me have dozens of refreshed Silverados in stock right now, because they lease out at $550/mo with little or no rebates available for multiple months in a row now. A steady stream of MSRP bumps means they’ve actually continued to go up since launch, which is the opposite of what usually happens with hyped-up models. GM’s actions are evidence that they don’t care about the market share right now, they just want to maximize profit wherever they can, and to me, the Z06 looks like the best avenue for them to do so.

    2. The ZO6 takes longer to build so not quite 186 per day.

      Reply
  11. In other words “ all units on all frequencies stand-by to stand-by”. Just write the story when the pricing is announced. Maybe next week or the week after that or the week after that……

    1. The next headline will be “2023 Corvette Z06 Pricing To Be Announced Shortly, very shortly.”

  12. Don’t be surprised if you’re a very low number at a dealership ordering a ZO6 at Msrp and don’t get the car right away as you would expect. I was # 20 on a list for a C8 Stingray at Msrp. My dealer gets 8-10 Stingrays a month. I’ve been on the list for almost 1 year and I am now at #10. When I confronted my dealership they tell me I’m # 10 as a sold order not. Stock order. Do I have to say anymore?

    Reply
    1. So they’re prioritizing stock orders that they can sell for over sticker is what I’m guessing. Ask them what their actual timeframe estimate is instead of trying to do their math for them.

    2. Unfortunately, at most dealers any “List” is a matter of faith. The reality is that unless you have a Sales agreement with a deposit – all you have is a promise. Those willing to place an order with their markup will go ahead of you.

      When I went to my dealer in Nov 2020, he explained that to me. Aggravating, but at least he was honest. I agreed to the markup. I got one of his next allocations and ordered the car. Had my 2021 3LT Z51 in Late March 2021 and never looked back. Best car I’ve ever had and now I’ve had a year of fun that I wouldn’t (from this dealer) had I waited for MSRP. I really didn’t like the idea of paying a markup. Given what’s happened with the “market” price of the car. That $9,600 mark up doesn’t seem that bad anymore.

      I know. You may consider me one of those adding to [various] Dealerships greed. But we live in a Capitalist Market Priced environment. Either you play or you get left behind.

  13. Appears the waiting list is close to 15k customers seeking Z 06’s and growing. Question remains How does GM plan to meet these demands? Or are the majority of us looking @ 2024’s

    Reply
    1. Gene, that number might be low. Ciocca’s reservation list was cut off at 5,000.

      Reply
  14. I’m on “a” list, but even if it gets to me for a 2023, I’ll defer for a 2024 anyway just to give them a not-so-transparent opportunity to work out some bugs. Just as I did when I waited for a 2021 instead of a 2020.

  15. Well, no discount for being a a douche 😁🤑😁

    Reply
  16. I’ll wait for a reasonably priced 2019 ZR-1, Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. Reading the complaints here. Everybody loves capitalism until people have to pay the price. That’s business, folks!

    Unfortunately yr likely correct…..I signed up almost a yr ago,and while I hv yet to receive a call,I think I’m in the 700 range…..

    Reply
    1. Glad that you are on a list. I felt bad obtaining reservation number 500 at Ciocca. then, I met the guy with reservation number 3200. I have since stopped complaining.

      Reply
  19. This is the new marketing plan for the future. Order a car and get it in 6 to 18 months. That way they only have to build cars they have already sold, no inventory to worry about, no discounts on slow sellers, etc. they can’t lose. It’s all Tesla’s fault.

    Reply
    1. Finally someone who gets it. Everyone thought direct-to-consumer was a great idea, until now, when they realize that it means full price every time, now and in the future, and wait times for new vehicles.

      Reply
  20. Can someone put a date on the term “very, very near future”?

    Reply
  21. It’s been a couple weeks since this “report” was posted, are we at 3 “very”s yet? Very, Very, Very near future! 🙂
