- It starts at $106,395 for the base 1LZ, and the convertible is $7000–$7500 extra.

The new 2023 Corvette Z06's 670-hp flat-plane-crank V-8 revs to 8600 rpm, and its pricing also rises to similarly stratospheric levels. It starts at $106,395, nearly $25,000 more than the previous-generation C7 Z06, and the options list includes big-ticket items such as a $10,495 carbon-fiber package and $11,995 carbon-fiber wheels. Orders open July 28.
Three trim levels will be available, including 1LZ, 2LZ ($115,595), and 3LZ ($120,245), with varying levels of equipment. The convertible body style costs between $7000 and $7500 extra over the coupe.
Those seeking max performance will want the $8995 Z07 package, which adds the FE7 suspension tune, carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Cup 2R ZP tires, and underbody strakes. To get the Z07 upgrades, you must also add the Carbon Aero package that costs either $8495 with carbon flash-painted components or $10,495 with exposed carbon fiber.
Carbon-fiber wheels are also available, which Chevy says reduce unsprung mass by 41 pounds. They're available only on Z07 cars and cost either $9995 for the flash-painted version or $11,995 for visible carbon-fiber.
Loading a Z06 up with all of these extras will push its price toward the $150,000–$160,000 range, where it starts to encroach on Porsche 911 GT3 (starting price, $162,450) territory. We look forward to getting our hands on the Z06 to see how it measures up.
Despite being raised on a steady diet of base-model Hondas and Toyotas—or perhaps because of it—Joey Capparella nonetheless cultivated an obsession for the automotive industry throughout his childhood in Nashville, Tennessee. He found a way to write about cars for the school newspaper during his college years at Rice University, which eventually led him to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for his first professional auto-writing gig at Automobile Magazine. He has been part of the Car and Driver team since 2016 and now lives in New York City.
