Hello everyone and glad to be part of this forum to know more about the C8 Corvette. I am a long time Japanese car guy and had my fair share of their sporty car versions and my current one is built 1K + WHP R35 GTR. Am also a BMW enthusiast and currently have an F86 X6M. Anyways, I became curious about Corvettes, specifically the C8, after reading the impressive reviews about their handling and good manners, both in the street and strip, and have decided I will get one. I have studied all the C8 models, weighing the pros and cons of each, and decided that the Z06 is the way to go for me to add to my current car stable. I look forward to learning as much as I can about Corvettes while I'm on the hunt for the Z06 with the options I want at the right price.

Hey there,
I've also been all over the place from 4g63t to 1048 rehp hellcat to f90 M5, which was my latest and hardest to part ways with. I appreciate the aesthetics of the Vette and was pleased with the weight distribution. Just got mine about a month ago and am really happy with it

If you haven't driven one I would recommend taking it for a spin in good weather, the light weight and handling is what got me hooked.

I hope you find what you're looking for, best of luck!

Welcome to the FORUM. Be sure and post any questions that you have, as there is a wealth of knowledge, and with guys that are always eager to help. From my daily readings, it see that the C8 prices are coming down. You seem like the kind of person who does his homework, so the more you know about all the options can ensure you get everything you want. The one thing that I feel is extremely important … the extended warranty from Chevrolet. There are two guys that give the best prices, you can look on the Forum to find their contact info. Good Hunting.

Default Costco discount

Just found out that Costco members get up to $3000 off a stingray or E-ray until 4/30. You have to submit your membership number to Costco and they email you a certficate that you take to the dealer. I just got off the phone with Costco and it sounds really easy to get the discount. For me is looks like very late March or April delivery so discount should work.

Welcome to the forum and good luck acquiring your new Z-06.
The members here know a great deal about these cars and you will learn a lot here.
For many of Us here, getting a standard C-8 was not an easy thing to do and trying to get a Z06 a couple years ago was nearly impossible.
Things have changed, I am thankful that I have My 2023 coupe.
