Doesn't everyone that buys a new factory ordered C8 get one, eventually?

Yeah, but does everyone know it's held to the base with magnets so you can take it off and play with it?

How long ago did you order? Seems like it takes forever to get these things.

I’m not sure if everyone gets one. I know mine came with a thank you letter signed by the owner of the dealership. Maybe if they don’t sign a letter, then you don’t get one.

Only if you can get it from the original buyer or you might be able to find one on eBay but the VIN won't match.

Only GM knows at this point, but my guess is yes - these models will continue for 2023 and Z06 coupe and Z06 HTC will be added to the speed shapes they send out to buyers.

But I doubt they will be copies of a Z06 like you were blessed to get.

I firmly believe that if they continue to send buyers these speed shape models for the 2023 model year, there will be Z06 coupe and HTC versions as well as Stingray coupe and HTC versions. Originally only coupes were being built (and therefore only coupe speed shapes). Once HTC production got rolling, they added the HTC speed shape models. My guess is they will do the same for the Z06.
