Thanks to CorvetteForum.com member Telepierre for sharing this printout showing the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating for the 2023 Corvette Z06. The chart is broken down into both Coupe (1YH07) and Convertible (1YH67) models, and we can make out some of the options the car was tested with, including the J57 carbon ceramic brakes, Z07 Performance Package, and T0G/T0J aero kits.
This 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Baldwin Motion Stingray is a striking example of a 70’s Time Capsule powered by the original L46 (350/350hp) Motor Modified to A LT1 Solid Lifter (350/370+hp), connected to original M21 Close Ratio 4 Speed Manual Transmission. This C3-generation Corvette will no doubt appeal to collectors and enthusiasts alike while also making a thrilling companion out on the open road.

We were traveling when Corvette Racing driver Jordan Taylor dropped his latest behind-the-scenes video. The team did well at VIR with a P2 finish for the number 3 C8.R, which probably explains why Jordan was able to get this up so quickly after the race.

For all the flak that YouTubers and influences get for being the first to drive the Z06, it’s videos like this latest from Emelia Hartford that show why it’s a winning strategy for Chevrolet to embrace these content creators.
Emelia refers to the people in this video as her ‘supercar’ friends, and she manages to capture their very first impressions of riding in America’s newest supercar. As fellow supercar owners, you would expect them not to be so wowed by supercar performance, but those initial reactions tell you everything you need to know about the new Z06!
