I think you've overestimated the market share for this vehicle as well as it's ultimate price point.You don't have to market a car that will sell itself
Don't see this as an "everymans" corvette.

Don't see this as an "everymans" corvette.
this is also " track car" where higher revs are rewarded vs low rpm torque pulls out of corners. it sounds amazing and is going to be amazing around a track. sign me up, wait a minute , i am signed up. lets go!
It was almost like they were trying to give me reasons not to buy one. ?You don't have to market a car that will sell itself
“Maybe if we bore the audience to death they will just go buy something else and leave us alone.” - Chevrolet bean counters… probably
You need good marketing when you have an inferior product. Dodge for example is peddling cars with a chassis from the Daimler Chrysler days.
GM’s team has a fresh slate car that will dominate at the track and endurance racing. No need to market vehicles when you already have enough buyers willing to pay substantially over MSRP.
This Z06 will be like every other. Bluehairs will rush to the dealers to tell everyone they have a 670 horsepower track beast and use it in parades and sit in parking lots. And they’ll pay $10-20k over sticker.
maybe it’s only me, but starting with the C6, I’ve found the majority of Z06 buyers actually drive the fuck out of them. You don’t see too many old men wiping them down with quick detail at the Sunday morning car shows
C5z’s get tracked hardcore. Hit up a hpde at road America and it’s generally full of them.
That's the great thing about living in the U.S.A. People can buy them and track them till the wheels fall off or park them in their garages and wax them daily.
Did everyone miss the marketshare comment by
huggerorange73?? My point is GM will sell as many of these as they can build for at least half a decade.

C5 / C6 cars I feel many didn’t accept as they only available with a manual trans hard top, then the C7 Z06 came out with a auto trans and sold more of these to a wider audience, and then add the variable of a convertible option. I see a good amount of C7 Z06’s on the road and 9/10 times they are an auto, and a vert. Gm listened to the main buyers of these cars and made the changes, other wise they would have went to another car brand.
I dislike the addition of an Auto and convertible in the C7. Because the Auto wasn't a DCT, and well, Convertible is enough said in the "Hardcore" track version of the car.
I would never order my Z06 with either a convertible or a traditional auto.
I would however instantly check the option for a proper DCT, I would have on my RS if it were offered.
I agree the Z06 is a track car and should have stayed as a hardtop and a manual trans or a dct if it an option.
gm needed something for the old balls / can’t drive stick community-demographic who has the money for that car.
How Chevy Designed the World’s Largest Flat-Plane-Crankshaft V-8 for the 2023 Corvette Z06
The engineering that keeps the 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06's LT6 V-8 together is amazing.
Im dead!
The reason Mod motors suck is due to the 4.6L SOHC crap when ford came out with it. Sure, Ford kept working, and the Coyote and Voodoo engines do rock now.
However, the complaint is about what will Chevy guys say when we get it? I'd say yes please to a 670hp 5.5L SBC making 121hp per liter. Gimme some more of that please.
I cant wait until some slaps a pair of turbos on this Z06. We all know its going to happen.
Twin turbo.
Mid engine.
FPC.
DCT.
Yes please!
