I’m more talking about it being available with 2024s w/o CCs or Z07, making it
alot cheaper even with 3LZ. Every 3LZ I’ve seen with big aero has been $150k plus.
My Z is almost exact same spec as yours, minus red calipers and I did black inserts on seats.

I drive them. See the pic above I’m on the Tail of the Dragon with the Z06.
I’ll keep both Eray and Z.
Also have new challenger and charger limited editions and TPW /10-12 for the last of the ZL1, Black Panthers.

Wow you've had more C8's than there are years of production, lol. In fact you're averaging 2 a year since we're in model year #4.

Way to work the system...

Weird to see TPW's for 2024 when some 2023's don't have one. Congrats!

I just found this out. The aero Aero package i selected is $500 cheaper than a Z07. I did a rebuild and this popped up.
so I got a Z07 pkg without the Z07 badging.

I have the same TPW (9/11) for my fully loaded HTC but with the looming strike, I'd argue we won't see that TPW. Also, there are a ton of late July orders still without TPW which makes me think they'll get pushed to 2024s and further push our dates.

I don’t think a strike will happen soon.The old contract is set to expire Sept. 14 and there is reason to believe these talks will continue beyond that deadline.

The UAW is looking to increase wages, eliminate wage tiers and give pensions for new hires.

The issues they face in this year’s contract are in finding a way to recover money that members lost during the pandemic and making sure they have a foothold in the future transition to electric vehicles and battery production.

Contracts with automotive companies are typically four years long.

For my own selfish reasons, I sincerely hope you're correct! Had a buddy miss his stingray delivery by almost 4 months due to a strike and various other issues.

A strike will increase values for those who get in before the strike.

Why do you think the strike will not happen soon?

To quote an article I read, "UAW President Shawn Fain during a Facebook Live event Tuesday reaffirmed that the expirations of the contracts are deadlines, not suggestions. He said the union has no plans to extend the current contracts to allow for bargaining to continue without a strike, which was previously common practice."

If that's an empty threat, I think it'll make it more difficult to take his threats seriously in the future.
