2023 Corvette Z06 Order Banks Now Open

Fans of the eighth-generation Chevy Corvette C8 will be happy to learn that order banks for the new 2023 Corvette Z06 are now open.

As it turns out, order banks for the go-faster 2023 Corvette Z06 have been open since July 28th, as GM Authority reported previously. A total of three trim levels are available, listed from bottom to top as 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ, with all three trims available in either a Coupe or Convertible body style. Pricing starts at $106,395 for the 1LZ Coupe, while the range-topping 3LZ Convertible starts at $127,245. Check out previous GM Authority coverage for additional 2023 Corvette Z06 pricing information.

As GM Authority exclusively reported late last month, GM will limit warranty transfers for the new 2023 Corvette Z06, as well as two other enthusiast-oriented products, namely the GMC Hummer EV off-roader and high-performance Cadillac Escalade-V SUV. In addition, GM will prevent sellers from placing future sold orders or reservations for high-demand models if a new owner resells one of these vehicles within the first 12 months of ownership. These changes are intended to prevent new owners from “flipping” these high-demand vehicles for a quick profit, a practice said to negatively impact GM customer experience and related GM brands.

Furthermore, GM is offering 500,000 My Chevrolet Rewards points to those 2023 Corvette Z06 owners that retain ownership of their new sports car for at least 12 months after purchase, an impressive $5,000 value. Points are redeemable for GM Financial Payments, Chevrolet accessories, and more.

The 2023 Corvette Z06 made its big debut with a long list of updates and changes over the Corvette C8 Stingray, chief among which is the new race-bred, naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine. Output is rated at 670 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, while redline spins up to 8,600 rpm. Under the skin, the C8 Corvette rides on the GM Y2 platform, while production takes place exclusively at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

  1. AWESOME!!! I am looking forward to putting in my build order. I am number 137 at my dealership so let the 3-year wait begin, I wish I could get my Z06 sooner, but I know it will be worth it.

  2. When the Z06 will be available in Canada to order?

    1. Yeah because I don’t see any pricing from GM Canada yet? Also I’m top 10 on list at my dealership and they are still waiting on pricing. Is pricing only available for US only? Just curious. I mean I’ve already waited over two years, what’s another month or so.

  3. I backed out of my place in line, you’re welcome. At my age, I will not live to see my name come up at any dealer.
    So instead I have decided to learn to love my 2021 C8 more. It will be with me for a long time. Now that they raised
    the base price on a 2023, the price I paid (MSRP) on my 2021 seems like a good deal. It would be great if Lingenfelter/Magnuson released the blower kit.
    Good luck to those that actually get a delivery!

  4. Build and price still not available on the official site?? What’s the holdup? My dealer still doesn’t have the allocations from GM. I’m #3 on the list but I would like to build, see the car and know what it will cost before I order. GRRRRRR

    1. I spoke to my dealer yesterday and he too said they did not get their allocations and do not know when the build and pricing will be available on the official site. He said they were told that production on the Z06 starts next month. With the current supply chain issues etc. GM is going to have a challenging time meeting its Z06 production numbers. We all have to sit back, relax and wait.

  5. Interestingly, the rule of thumb on the final “as delivered price” of such a vehicle nowadays is 50% higher than the MSRP including tax and title charges. That would include the awesome (sic) “value added market” sticker and any other charges the dealers are going to throw at this car. So, knowing that (guessing that?) is coming we have a pretty good idea of the actual cost of a loaded C8 Z06 once it gets into the hands of those lucky enough to actually attain a new loaded Z06. Prices can vary of course, were you to simply find the “best deal” and order out a “base model” (yeah right like that’s going to happen) then you’ll safely be well over the 120 Grand figure. Hummmm, sounds sort of expensive doesn’t it, then again you’re buying a lot of vehicle…can’t afford to play with the “Big Dogs”…not to worry, you can still purchase (order?) a new C8 and take delivery for well under the 100 Grand mark, dare I say into the mid 80 Grand mark and don’t forget the used car market too. Seen a very nice used 2020 C8 here in SoCal with under 40k miles (hey, we drive a lot here in California cause we’ve got an almost 24/7 ability without rain or snow to drive our Corvette’s all year around, yippie!) for sale privately…dealers charge another 25% to any private owned C8, don’t you just love it, and if it’s “adult owned” and nicely taken care of, that could be one hell of a bargain, especially if it “loaded”. Anyway, this whole mess is going to become something to write about if and when those Z06’s actually start to arrive a Chevy dealers all over the good old USA, I can hardly wait to hear what prices new Z06 owners actually are paying for their new Corvette’s. It won’t be long now!

    1. Great of you to judge all dealerships in the US based on your limited exposure to a couple California dealerships.

      There are many great places to work with who won’t add the markups. Venture out a bit more and you’ll be surprised what you discover.

      1. Yeah, right. The tooth fairy is real, too

    2. Every Z06 just like all the other C8’s are ordered with deposits and every one knows what the MSRP is on the car they ordered. Very few C8’s are ordered by a dealer for inventory. Those are the dealers you do not buy from because of the high markups.

  6. Great news. Congrats to all those fortunate to get a 2023 Z06.

    1. Exactly! “Hey, can I come over to your garage and hang out ???” Is what every Z06 owner will hear.

  7. Yes indeed, no problem ordering a Z06 for MSRP, there are many dealers selling C8s for MSRP, and no problem with a 1LZ base trim Z06 car for 106k. I ordered and have a 2021 base 1LT C8 with the body color accents pkg and the bright scripts package , the MSRP was $61090 and that is what I paid.

    1. Nice build. 1LZ ZO7 is the sweet spot for those that like to track their car.

      Reply
  8. I placed an order for 2021 Stingray on March 1, 2021 and still have not obtained same. Is this ZO6 production going to take preference over those that have been waiting for the Stingrays; I hope not. Are they going to be assembled at the old Saturn plant? There are a lot of us that just want a tame sports car. The Stingrays are still on waiting list.

    1. I ordered and have my 2021 C8. It was known from day one that the wait after my deposit would be around 1 year. It was actually 11 months. It is still the same time frame today for a stingray, 1 year after deposit. The Z06 waiting time is a few years after you put down a deposit and put your name on the dealer list.

    2. Put my deposit on a C8 Stingray on April 19, 2021 from Rick Hendricks of Duluth, Georgia. I took dielevery on March 7, 2022 in So Cal. Just under 11 months. Would have been several weeks sooner if I didn’t have to FedEx documents and wait for transport.

      I don’t know why your still waiting. Something doesn’t seem right.

  9. What’s an order “bank”. Never heard that term.

    1. A very common reference in the auto industry.

  10. My friend, college roommate and Chevy dealer is ordering mine. Sticker price. Hopefully get it in 2023 but 2024 is OK. It will be my return to GM after over 20 years. Left because of 2 poor quality vehicles. The C8 appears to head a new GM effort to build quality vehicles.
    A controlled climate garage awaits my Z06.

  11. Please tell me what dealership do I have apply to, I live in Richmond bc Canada I’m 64 and want my fantasy retirement car

    Reply
    1. I believe the top 3 corvette dealerships are in Ontario. So that’s a little to far to drive from BC. I guess you could get delivered but the cost would be very high I would imagine. Good luck with your fantasy car. This car will be amazing if we can ever get our hands on one.
