I actually double checked. They don't say "v8". Leno was incorrect. The engineer corrected it later.
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R Is A Legit Race Car You Can Buy
Chevrolet will sell a race-only version of the Corvette called the Z06 GT3.R, available to professional and amateur race teams.

Wasnt that a Lotus Engineering / Mercury Marine engine tho? Even though GM owned Lotus at the time.
I still consider it a bespoke engine. You couldn't buy it in ANY other car. Only the C4 ZR1.
The LS7 was a “bespoke” engine from 06-13. GM is still making the Camaro until at least 2026. It may not be bespoke for long. But yes, you are absolutely right that the LT5 was also bespoke. Doesn’t matter who assembled or engineered it. It was put into the C4 only and came off the GM production line that way.
Not designed entirely by GM is the point. It was "Farmed out"
The GT350s Voodoo was entirely inhouse and Only in the GT350/Rs
Im fairly certian the "bespoke" comment is aimed at Ford.
Also I highly doubt the 6th gen Camaro will get this engine as a Z28. The Camaro doesnt sell worth a damn the way it is.
However a Z28 with the Z06 engine ceramic brakes and carbon wheels would be one hell of a final model for the 6th gen. I just dont see it happening.
I know, that's why I said it was bespoke from 06-13. 14-15 were the LS7 camaros.
Isn't a cross plane voodoo in the GT500 now?
As such, rumors are flying like crazy and this particular claim from the YouTube channel HorsePower Obsessed caught our attention for a couple of reasons. The video cites two completely separate Chevrolet dealerships reporting the same starting price of $87,000. That's a very clean number, so it probably translates to something like $86,995 or $87,195. But the takeaway is that this screaming 670-horsepower supercar will start under $90,000, and while that's not cheap, it's still less than half the cost of anything remotely comparable.
That is, it will allegedly cost that much. The video keeps these claimed dealership sources completely anonymous, so there's absolutely no way to fact-check this YouTuber. However, we can confirm that an $87,000 starting price mirrors the price gap between the previous-generation C7 Stingray and Z06 models. That's the second reason this caught our attention, as it does lend some credence to the claim.
Lastly – and this is pure speculation on our part – we doubt Chevrolet has settled on a Z06 starting price yet. The car won't go on sale until later in 2022, so any information received by dealers would likely be rumors from the automaker. Traditionally speaking, rumors based on rumors aren't always reliable.
There is at least some supporting evidence for this rumor being accurate. But at this early stage, take it all with a grain of salt.

2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Starting Price Could Be $87,000: Report
A video claims two anonymous Chevrolet dealerships said the new C8 Corvette Z06 has a starting MSRP of $87,000, but it's only a rumor.

I doubt you'll find many. It's simple supply and demand.
C8 production has been hampered by a lot of stuff-A strike, COVID, chip shortage, surging demand, etc. Couple that with a insane car market and it's going to be really rough to find one at MSRP for a long time.
My point is that there are dealers who don't charge over sticker. My buddy has two reserved from two different dealerships and both guarantee to not charge over sticker.
I'm serious, PM me the dealer and contact information. I'll put a deposit down and so will my brother if they will put it in writing. The problem is that money talks. If there's a guy willing to pay $25K over sticker, guess who the slot is going to go to?
My friend's dad is a sales manager at a local Chevy dealer. He's a straight shooter and been in the high end car business for decades. They already had a sizeable list of deposits (2 year waiting list) and are asking $50K over sticker. I believe him looking at the market.
I'll give them a call.
The problem is that dealers won't get a ton. #47 might be a few years based on sales volume of Martin (I have no clue how many they sell and will be allocated). #7 might will probably be a first year run (Stasek is #20 in Corvette sales nationwide).
