Here’s When GM Will Release 2023 Corvette Z06 Pricing

GM Authority had the rare opportunity to get a close-up look at the iconic 1953 XP-21 Firebird 1 Concept at this year’s running of the Daytona 500. This stop-you-in-your-tracks engineering concept was on display in a Chevrolet-branded area of the Daytona International Speedway during the Daytona 500 race weekend in February. The XP-21 Firebird 1 Concept is usually sitting in the GM Heritage Center in Michigan, which isn’t open to the public, so to say that this is a rare sighting would be a complete understatement.

The 2022 Buick Enclave is the fifth model year for the current second-generation nameplate, introducing a full model refresh with updates to the exterior styling, safety tech features, and exclusive equipment for the range-topping Avenir trim level. Now, the 2022 Buick Enclave just got slightly more expensive with a $200 price increase.

The 2022 Chevy Blazer will be $200 more expensive going forward. Like it did with the 2022 Chevy Camaro earlier this month, GM has raised the destination freight charge for the 2022 Chevy Blazer by $200 from $1,195 to $1,395. This will, in effect, make the Blazer $200 more expensive across the board regardless of the trim level chosen.

Chevy recommends owners of the 2023 Corvette Z06 break in or “burnish” their brake pads before taking their vehicle on a spirited drive or to the racetrack. Some C8 Corvette Z06 buyers that haven’t owned a high-performance car before may not be familiar with the process of bedding in a vehicle’s brakes, but thankfully Chevy includes an explanation in the mid-engine supercar’s owner’s manual.

A car club in Phoenix helped fulfill the long-held birthday wish of a local 100-year-old woman by giving her a ride in a bright red C8 Corvette Convertible. As her 100th birthday approached, Audrey Matheson told her caregiver, Nicki Reyes, that she wanted to take a ride in a bright red Corvette Convertible before she passes. Reyes reached out to members of a local Corvette club to see if they could help fulfill Matheson’s birthday wish and they happily obliged, with former Navy man Jim Dunkelberger picking Audrey up from the nursing home in his head-turning Torch Red Stingray.

The available Sport pedals kit for the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro will be dropped from the sport coupe’s order books after the 2022 model year, GM Authority has learned. The Sport pedals kit (RPO code VEB) is a dealer-installed, LPO-level option that’s available on all 2022 Chevy Camaro trim levels, save for the supercharged ZL1. This option adds a set of Sport pedals to the vehicle with a polished metal finish and raised rubber traction surfaces. They include pedal covers for both the accelerator and brake, as well as the clutch on vehicles equipped with the six-speed manual transmission.

GM reportedly suffered a cyberattack last month that resulted in the exposure of customer information and allowed hackers to redeem gift card reward points. According to a recent report from IT Security Guru, GM confirmed that it detected malicious login activity between April 11th and April 29th, 2022. The malicious activity was identified as a credential stuffing attack, wherein credentials were obtained from a previous data breach from one service, then reused to log into another service.

Customers that want to ensure the best possible care for their new 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing right from the factory can now opt for the enclosed shipping carrier option. GM Authority has confirmed with Cadillac that an enclosed shipping will be an option for units of the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing when transported from the plant to their respective dealerships. The option will include a “standard” transport truck, but rather than transporting the vehicle out in the open, the vehicle will be enclosed.

GM ranked third behind Toyota and Honda in the 22nd annual Supplier Working Relations Index Study conducted by consulting firm Plante Moran. The Supplier Working Relations Index Study was conducted by Plante Moran from mid-February to mid-April of this year. Respondents are salespersons from Tier-1 suppliers serving the big three Detroit and big three Japanese automakers, with the study tracking supplier perceptions of their working relationships with OEMs. These respondents are asked to rate OEMs across the eight major purchasing areas broken down into 20 commodity areas. This year’s study included 673 salespersons from 436 Tier-1 suppliers, representing about 50 percent of the six OEMs’ annual buy.

The 2023 Corvette Stingray entered production at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky on Monday, May 23rd, 2022, GM Authority has learned. The 2023 Corvette Stingray was previously set to enter production on May 16th, which was pushed back from a previously outlined date of May 9th. Production of the mid-engine sports car was paused for a week in April, which may be the reason why production of the 2023MY only began this week and not on the 16th as previously reported. To be clear, this production start date applies to the 2023 Corvette Stingray only. The production start date for the hotly anticipated 2023 Corvette Z06 has yet to be determined.
