"Most important, prices for the Z06 coupe start at $109,295, a raging bargain for something that feels so exotic." According to R&T

Could not agree more! Such a epic car for the price, absolutely zero question!

Great, now let's make more of them and thin the wait list by switching the impatient ones to an Eray order. MSRP within 18 months just like I said. Then I'll be ready to fire it up.

C8 Z06 is Motor Trends performance car of the year 2023.

This is what they has to say about the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

"Here's a good chunk of what you need to know about the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with the Z07 package: it put down the second-quickest figure eight lap time we've ever recorded. The only car to beat it is the McLaren 765LT, which makes significantly more power and torque and costs three times as much, as-tested, as this Chevy. And even then, it only beats the Corvette by 0.05 second. The Corvette is punching above its weight? Yeah, with brass knuckles. Supercars typically come with a list of tradeoffs, and the Z06's is the shortest by far."

Super car indeed.

& we still have no other times for the car. No ring time, no real road course times from a big name track, etc.

GM clearly knows it is not as fast as they wanted/thought.

Super car? ha not until we have real #s beyond a figure 8

Show me where GM published a ring time or even a time for a well known road course. I'll wait...

GM never publishes track times for any cars do they? They give a 0-60 and a 1/4 mile, all other track times are publications and independent sources. They didn't publish any C7 lap times either.

I could be wrong but maybe you can link so GM Official Published Lap Times.

Not taking a side here, but they did post a lap time for the Camaro ZL1 1LE

Ok, one Camaro, no Corvettes? I honestly am just asking because it's not something I really pay attention to.

Can you link to the GM publications with their track times?

And I've been a passenger in the C8, and for the passenger, I didn't like the high wall of climate control buttons separating the two compartments. This car definitely won't be for couples...unless they're fighting.

Nevertheless, for $100k to $120K, this is the performance bargain of our times...it literally sounds like an old Ferrari V8. That's high praise indeed. GM should be proud.

I agree with about all of this. Inside the car is odd. Little claustrophobic. Clunky. But my buddy rented a C8 stingray for the wknd while visiting me in az and the car is def growing on me. The rear is odd looking. From some angles the car looks extremely menacing and exotic. Some angles looks funky to me. And the attention that this car gets was crazy. Most people just think it’s some kind of exotic like a McLaren or Ferrari. Exhaust note is great. Bose stereo is really good. Great bang for buck. And this is just the stingray. The z06 is epic but still some funkiness in the design even tho it does look better

Non-car people will also confuse all kinds of cars for others. Blind I guess as they all have badges on them. I had my LS1 Camaro complimented as a Corvette LOL. I've had people ask me if my Hellcat is a Hellcat. Just look at it?!

It's ridiculous how oblivious people really are

Congrats!!! The ass end is so hard to look at. If I get one, I'm praying there will be an aftermarket help for it. Still can't believe Chevy allowed that to be the finished product. Thank god it sounds good🤣

I don't mind it but I already lived through the C6Z to C7Z transition, lol.

White looks good. The car is strange it looks so menacing from some angles and then from others it’s like some type of awkward exotic bird

It's actually Ceramic Matrix gray, but really close to white. Sort of like Audi's Suzuka Gray. Depends on the lighting.

Oh nice. That’s legit. I’m pumped to see one lowered with some sick wheels. Quite the wheel gap stock. The one my buddy rented had lambo style doors. Actually fit the car pretty well. Seems kinda cheesy but the car pulled it off I think
