![[SPIED] Accelerate Yellow 2023 Corvette Z06/Z07 Takes on the Tail of the Dragon](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2022/061822_14.jpg)
We heard some reports that an Accelerate Yellow 2023 Corvette Z06 had been sighted on the Tail of the Dragon last week and it turns out those reports were true! The Z06 was wearing Michigan manufacturer plates and also on the ride were two C8 Stingrays, a Camaro, and a Cadillac V-series sedan.
The Z06 looks to be a pre-production prototype as it’s wearing zero badges and we see the “big red button” mounted on the dash. All the GM vehicles were equipped with large antennas as well. We caught the car on two different days as it made the drive on US129 which sits on the North Carolina/Tennessee state lines.
The Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap features 318 curves over 11 miles and it’s a bucket list destination for the drivers and motorcyclists who call it one of the best driving roads in America.
Our last Z06 sighting on the famous Tail of the Dragon came back in November when a cammo-covered Z07 Coupe was spied along with the GMC Hummer EV.

This “Accelerate Yellow” is such a great color, I can drive a month without washing my 2020, C8 and it don’t really show how dirty the car is. My smile while driving it can only be surgically removed, awesome Corvette, Luv it. 😁
It’s the most exotic looking of all the C8 colors.
The more important feat may be the “tale of the pricing”, which it does not seem to be able to face at this point.
Big red button on the dash? There is a car just like this on the dealer tour and that Leno drove. I saw it two weeks ago in California (#0007EX). I never recall seeing a red button on the dash of any of these cars in person or in photos. I will bet price will be right about $90,000 base. If it was $95,000 plus would people not still buy it? A comparable McLaren is far more than double.
Those were show cars and this Yellow Z06 on the Dragon is a pre-production model. You can clearly see the “Big Red Button” mounted on the dash in this photo:
