With all the talk of supply chain shortages and canceled production, I bet you didn’t see this milestone coming!

I was actually going to point out that the 2023 Corvette Stingray just became the most produced model of the C8 era with Wednesday’s production which now totals 26,359 regular Stingrays. And when you add in the 2,798 70th Anniversary cars, total 2023 Stingray production grows to 29,157!

Here are all the Stingray production numbers for the last four years as a comparison, and the total of 101,572 was a very nice surprise!

2023 Corvette Stingray: 26,359
2023 Corvette 70th SR:   2,798

2022 Corvette Stingray: 25,831
2021 Corvette Stingray: 26,216
2020 Corvette Stingray: 20,368

Total C8 Stingray Production: 101,572*
*Through March 1st

2023 Corvette Z06


It’s a different story for the 2023 Corvette Z06. February was a horrible month for Z06 production with just 74 new vehicles built. Even after the plant reopened from its one-week layoff on Feb 27th, no new Z06s were produced until mid-week which saw five completed on Wednesday, and Thursday the plant did 17 regular Z06s plus one 70th Anniversary model. The total counts here for the 2023 Corvette Z06 are 869 regular models and 123 Anniversary editions for a total of 992.

Will Friday be the day we finally surpass 1,000 units? Let’s hope!!

  1. Hummmm, pretty impressive especially considering all the foul ups and bs GM has put up. Imagine what the number would be if GM had it’s act together.

  2. Supply catching demand. I see prices are down and you hear of some C8s going for less than MSRP. My dealer keeps contacting me about trading my C7 Grand Sport on a new non manual C8 at MSRP. His offer has gone from $67000 to $56000 in just a few months. Keeping my M7.

  3. So I guess a “non-manual” C8 means an automatic? Guess what all C-8’s are “non-manual” :). BTW if you can get a C8 even if it’s a 1LT, for 56K you better hop on it!

  4. I had a C7 Z51 and ONLY wanted a C8 ZO6 because they fixed the rear, but after talking to my local dealer with a waiting list (no issue) and a 10% markup (big issue), I told them no thanks. I’m going back to my plan to get a 911 instead. Besides, there was a tremendous amount of hype when the C8 was coming out and now like this article says they are everywhere. Except for the ZO6, it’s just another Corvette.
