2024 Stingray C8
When will the 2024 Stingray C8 be available to order ? Do you think GM will bump the prices of the C8 to shrink the gap between the C8 and the other models ? If so, would you recommend purchasing the 2023 C8 now instead of waiting for the 2024 ?

Usually the order guide appears at the end o April. First consensus/ ordering cycle will be mid May for a late June or early July build. HOWEVER, the last couple years the new model order cycle has been all over the place. Use this only as a possible guide and attend the Bash at the NCM because most of this will be revealed then.

As for GM attempting to “shrink the gap” Between the C8 Stingray and the higher performance variant, my question is why would GM do that? To what benefit to them or consumers?
As for a 2023, yes I’d get one if you can. It’s the 70th anniversary year (though I don’t think that has as much significance as major milestones like 25, 50, 75 etc.). Likely cheaper and the two model years should be virtually identical.

I predict GM will extend to 2023 MY to early fall. That will do this to extend the availability of anniversary models. They can raise prices any time, don't need to wait for year change. And, although I am on the wait list for a new C8, I don't think it is a great bargain as some will say. Not a criticism of other's opinion, just mine. I'm still going to buy one but it's a hard check to write.

Price protection NEVER crosses model years. Price protection applies to SRE (Retail Sold) orders in the system at 1100 or beyond when the price increase is announced (actual cutoff day is part of the announcements). Dealer stock orders are never price protected. Your dealer may or may not pass on the price protection to you. The window label will reflect the higher price. The major dealers reduce the price of the car by the amount of the increase so you pay the pre-increase price and pay any state sales taxes on the correct amount. Some dealers charge you the higher price and will then "refund" you the amount they get reimbursed from Chevrolet. This will not be the full amount of the increase and you pay sales taxes on the higher amount. Then there are dealers that won't give you anything.

Found this posted elsewhere:
The last GM Order Workbench my dealer sent me shows 1100 status and SRE but the one prior showed 1100 status and TRE (Retail Stock). Weird but I guess I'm price protected for MY23 which I hope to get in time before the MY24 switchover. 2023 should be the lightest weight C8 model year ever, confluent with my ordering a 1LT (the lightest weight trim).
