THE 2023 Z-06 Has been selected as the official Indianapolis Pace car, in addition, it will be adorned as a 70th Anniversary edition. MSRP is rumored to be under 100K but, as we have seen with the C-8, MSRP means very little, it comes down to Dealership ethics, some sell at MSRP, others gouge the consumer. still the engine flat plane V-8 sounds very interesting, too bad by 2025, it'll be Battery Powered Sad

They already have a battery powered Corvette out for 2023.

I'm waiting for a diesel powered Vette. Our country's power Grid wont handle all those chargers and when the power goes out you can't drive if its out. I think we are in trouble......

Hey Alan, why don't you buy one to go with your Blue Monster? What a pair that would be!

I actually don't like the look of the C-8's so that's never gonna happen plus it's so congested around here anymore driving a nice car is not fun. Gotta go 20-30 miles to get away... I thought high gas prices would make some of it go away , but not so.

Already in trouble because of Biden. We're gonna run out of diesel real soon, maybe as soon as the end of this month. Since Diesel runs those chargers, those cars are sunk as well. We're in for some bad time if the truck can't run...
