Corvette's Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter was on the webcast Autoline After Hours last week and spoke about the new Corvette Z06. (He brought this Z06 Convertible to the studio with him).

During the show, Tadge was asked about sales of the new Corvette Z06 and he said that they currently are accounting for 40% of all Corvette orders.

As of today, over 4400 Corvette Z06s have already been built and shipped to dealers.

Here's the video with Tadge:

That says a lot. Maybe the Z06 should be the entry model, with other model like the ZR1 above it.

Good news for those waiting for a used ones.

Huge success!

Just a bunch of old Corvette owners upgrading. I wouldn't expect that number to hold.

Silver w spectra grey rims looks great

Yup. I'm glad they came in priced where they were for '15, it sure seems like there is some room for that increase though

I have a feeling the C7 will be the best selling corvette ever. 10yr run for sure

Whaaat?? Noooooo...what about all the experts in CF that said this Z06 was the biggest failure Tadge is making this up he has to, he cant possible know more than the CF experts

Not a chance, they are already working on the C8.

URBAN LEGEND

He did the math.

Pretty good. He spoke about DCT, Nismo, AWD, Ford, Ferrari, why taller people can't fit in the Vette, etc.

Denied Zora car, and didn't answer when asked about running hot after 4 laps.

this makes me very happy!

If the new Z06 is really selling that well.. I might as well hold on a little longer and pickup a preowned 2015 garage queen in the next year or two for somewhere in the mid-$60k range. Considering the 2015 will be the only model year with 5yr/100k powertrain warranty I dont mind waiting a little longer as I barely drive the C6 I currently own.

those numbers are astounding. Here's my take on it, via the front page...

I can't believe the number of current owners trying to sell their 4-5 month old C7's because they have placed an order for a Z06. Why would you not have waited?

JustinStrife

Because they can afford to do things this way? Because they saw the glowing reviews from owners? Because they didnt think they needed the top dog vette until now? Who knows frankly and it isnt our business.

Great post!

I'd believe it, but look at all the other vehicles. that used to be the case on cars that were sold alot back in the day. They upgrade more and more often lately.

Guilty..... I wanted to play with the A8 before I ordered (and stuck) with the Z06
