Dozens of 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06s have been left sitting outdoors even though awaiting delivery given that as early as August due in portion to the ongoing UAW strikes, as properly as reported portion shortages.

In late August, drone pictures revealed there have been hundreds of 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 and Stingray models parked behind the Bowling Green factory, exactly where they are manufactured. A host of owners have taken to the MidEngineCorvetteForum to express their frustrations with several stating that their autos have been left on ‘3800’ status given that August. In GM production lingo, ‘3800’ status implies a vehicle has been constructed.

Corvette Blogger believes that the hold-up could partly be attributed to a shortage of specific carbon fiber components offered for the Corvette Z06. It notes that GM has extended been experiencing shortages with the Z07 carbon fiber aero package and believes the shortage has grown to also contain the carbon fiber dive planes, the Level 1 interior carbon fiber package, and the engine look package which adds carbon fiber and two LED lights.

Writing on the MidEngineCorvetteForum, a single Corvette Z06 owner has revealed that his Z06 was stuck on ‘3800’ status for 5 weeks prior to getting released from the factory with the engine bay lighting wiring harness but without having the LED lights installed. When he took delivery of the vehicle, the window sticker showed he had received a $895 credit for taking delivery without having the engine bay lights fitted.

Chevrolet began production of the 2024 Corvette on September 18 but is at the moment only creating the Stingray. It has apparently delayed production of the 2024 Z06 by two weeks and will use components as soon as reserved for the 2024 model for these stuck 2023 autos currently created.
