The 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 is now available to spec on Chevrolet’s website via the official 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 configurator.
The 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06’s main party piece is the naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine, which is rated at a maximum of 670 horsepower 8,400 rpm and 460 pound-feet of torque at 6,300 rpm. The V8 can spin up to a redline of 8,600 rpm. Output is routed to the rear axle by way of the GM 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
There are two body styles listed on the configurator, including a Coupe and a Convertible. Trim levels include the 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ. Notable upgrades include the Z07 Performance Package, which throws in Z07-specific suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control, carbon ceramic brakes, and new carbon fiber aero bits.
Under the body panels, the 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 rides on the GM Y2 platform. Production takes place at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.
Pricing starts at $106,695, including destination freight charge (DFC).

Unfortunately, while the 2023 Corvette Z06 can be specced as desired on the official online configurator, the new Corvette Z06 is no longer available to order. As GM Authority reported in August, 2023 Corvette Z06 production was heavily constrained as a result of supplier constraints. Since then, supplier setbacks have deteriorated even further, with GM no longer accepting new sold orders for the new Corvette Z06 as of early September. Both the Coupe and Convertible body style are affected.
It’s unclear at this time if GM will once again take new 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 sold orders some time in the future, or if the automaker will instead wait for the 2024 model year to reopen order books. It’s also unknown exactly how many units of the 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 GM plans to build. That said, it’s likely that many registered 2023 model year orders will be pushed back to the 2024 model year as a result of the recent setbacks.

Why put up a configurator when there will be no orders available even for many unknown months. Just for the fun of it!!! Even when you can order again who knows what options will be available at all? One would need a crystal ball on this one!!!!
i can make the car i cannot have, at least visualize it.
Maybe they’re not available to order because they’re too busy trying to sell them in Europe and South America. I’m done with C8 Corvette.
Well, we have a USA “second” attitude these days!
If one has a dealer submitted “SRE-Retail sold” order with GM and a Preliminary Order BXWDCW (1100), does that qualify as in line prior to GM taking new orders depending on allocations of course? Or does it mean nothing?
Let me know when the first Z06 are shipped into retail consumer enthusiast hands.
That will be news.
It will signify a turning of the corner to being a viable product.
In other news, Magnuson has posted a price for a blower for C8 with a final output around 700hp.
Does anyone else see all of the madness in this! This is crazy…oh sure the new Z06 is an amazing Corvette, and if it were not for the few that are actually driving around for auto journalist ect. to drive, giving their impressions about how amazing this car is, we’d be completely in the dark when it comes to actually building them for the public in “reasonable” numbers.
Suppliers seem to be a real sore spot with this car, and why is that? Can’t blame “COVID” for this sort of nonsense, can’t blame the auto assembly plant procedures, can’t blame the UAW workers…so why should there be this sort of nonsense in the first place! Can you imagine Ford having this problem with their last two generations of of “GT’s”, or Porsche with their Turbocharged “9” Series or GT3’s, how about various Ferrari’s (think the most exotic) or various Lamborghini’s or …ANYTHING OTHER THAN A CHEVY C8 Z06/Z07 CORVETTE!
Jeeze Louise….’Common Man, give us a break will ‘ya! Okay, I get it…”it is what it is”, right? Unbelievable, must really irritate Corvette people within the giant GM organization, top engineers, stylist, ect. those who poured their heart and souls into making this vehicle a reality, and now due to “conditions beyond our control” GM has to once again try to explain “WHY” the suppliers they’ve chosen seem to be unable to do their jobs well enough to keep this from happening. Pathetic.
I have been enjoying my 2002 Accelerate Yellow C8R with over 1,000 HP for 7 months now and it is the most amazing vehicle I have owned to date. I was pumped for the C8 Z06 for a few years but decided to upgrade my C8R to above ZR1 levels and I have a ride for the next 5 years that GM cannot touch with any iteration of the C8. I also have a 2020 Twin Turbo C8 with 800 hp someone might want to pick up as I am selling it. You can reach me on my cell – 801.427.1777 if interested. My wife thinks it is a little crazy to have 2 Twin Turbo C8s, so she’s winning this battle.
That is my “2022” C8R.
Hurry Up & Wait…is the GM mantra these days! I am so happy I got a C8 3LT Z51 loaded when ya could! Added about 100 HP and is ever fun…
I am sure I will get down voted for this comment but it is my opinion that GM is more concerned with pushing the electrification of the brand……at the expense of ICE vehicles. We all know that electric is coming, at a huge cost to everyone and everything. Look at the Camaro and Corvette advertising….oh wait there isn’t any. Electric however is advertised everywhere. While electric cars may fit many peoples lives, this new Silverado EV will be a joke if you are towing (with respect to range anyway). Getting back to topic, GM seems to be devoting their resources to electric and the Vette and other ICE vehicles are on the back burner with respect to supply chain. ZO6 no different.
I’ve been on the C8 Z06 list since February 2021 and my number has not come down anywhere close to where it needs to be, I am leaving this mess and requesting my deposit be returned. I’ll keep my 2017 Z06 and enjoy the ride.
I have owned a Corvette through the years since 1969 and never had a problem buying one, this situation now is just out of this world, and I think politics plays a very large part in this mess.
