There is great news for fans of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. And that is, if you couldn’t place an order for the new model before Chevy temporarily close the order books, don’t worry, because Bowtie has started accepting orders again. On top of that, the company has just delivered the first example to a customer.
At the time, Chevy opted for a “measured launch” of the Corvette Z06 2023. This meant taking an initial batch of orders in 2022 and then stopping. But now, it is possible to order again.
