Finally, Chevrolet’s configurator for the 2023 Corvette Z06 is now in place. Fans who have been waiting to build their Z06 can now do so, likely spending the next eight hours checking out how their favorite options would hurt their bank accounts.
As for us and our nonexistent cash for a 2023 Corvette Z06, we’d rather splurge on options to make sure we’re getting the best our imaginary dollars can buy. The most expensive latest version for zip code 33101 is over $182,000, which is either affordable or unattainable, depending on how you view the latest version of the Z06.

The configurator started with the body style, which was a choice between coupe ($106,695) and convertible ($114,195). Since our goal was to spend as much as possible, we opted for the convertible.
There were three trim level choices, with the 3LZ being the most expensive for a starting MSRP of $127,545. For the exterior paint, we chose Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat – a $995 color option. We didn’t choose stripes because there are more expensive options than these.
For the wheels, we went with the Visible Carbon Fiber wheels that cost an extra $11,995 and paired only with summer tires. Speaking of tires, the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R is part of the Z07 Performance Package, priced at $8,995.
Other wheel options include the Wheel Lock Kit in Black ($125), Jake Logo Wheel Center Caps ($260) and Bright Red Painted Brake Calipers ($695).
Other option and accessory package includes competition sport bucket seats, visible carbon fiber aerodynamic package, 2-piece premium leather travel bags in jet black with cross flags logo, lift Front with Memory, a Tier 2 Carbon Fiber Interior Package, Jake Graphics, Dark Stealth Crossed Flags Emblem, Premium Interior Car Cover in Gray (C8.R Fully Rendered) and Corvette Museum Delivery – among many ‘others.
Including freight to destination of $1,395 and gas tax of $3,000, our construction totals $182,180.
