2023 Corvette Stingray Price Increases Confirmed (Full List of Trims & Option Prices)

It still may be a relative performance bargain, but the 2023 Corvette Stingray is going to cost more money to put in your garage.

The folks over at GM Authority, CorvetteBlogger and Car and Driver have confirmed that U.S. pricing for the 2023 Corvette Stingray will be increasing. Every trim level and variant will see a $1,050 bump for 2023. Here’s how that breaks down:

• 1LT Coupe: $63,195
• LT Convertible: $70,745
• 2LT Coupe: $70,545
• 2LT Convertible: $77,545
• 3LT Coupe: $75,195
• 3LT Convertible: $82,195

Considering the rate at which the price of everything else is skyrocketing these days, an extra grand isn’t horrifying. A nearly 500 horsepower, mid-engine V8 sports car that can be ordered in the low $60K range is still a pretty sweet deal. The first round of 2023 MY ordering begins Thursday, March 31, 2022.

In more pricing news, it was also confirmed that the 70^th Anniversary Edition Package will cost $5,995. That package can only be added to the top 3LT trim. If you want the optional go faster body stripes that will be another $995. This package is available on both the regular Stingray and the all-conquering Z06. Pricing for the 2023 Z06 has not yet been officially confirmed, but here’s what the package includes —

• (Q9A) 19″ front/20″ rear 20-spoke Carbon Flash-painted forged aluminum wheels with Red stripe
• (J6N) Edge Red-painted calipers
• (VTB) Rear fascia/roof storage protector in Black with embroidered crossed flags logo
• (HV1) Ceramic White leather seating surfaces with Red stitching
• (3F9) Torch Red seat belt color
• (SO1) 70th Anniversary set of premium leather weekend/travel bags, LPO, 70th-anniversary exterior badging and logo on wheel caps, seats, steering wheel and sill plates, and unique VIN sequence

Worth the Money?

What do you get for your extra money on a 2023 Corvette Stingray? Not much to be honest. Power figures and equipment remains the same. Although it is tough to complain about a car at this price point that can rocket you to 60 mph in about 3 seconds. However, there are some new options that may entice you. There will be some new (and in our opinion much needed) wheel design options for 2023. Also, for a reasonable sum of $200 you can elect to have the exhaust tips on the performance exhaust painted black. For $595 you can have the new Stealth Aluminum Interior Trim added to your car. And speaking of the interior, a new Adrenaline Red Dipped Interior color is available as a no-cost option. Provided you select the required 3LT trim level to go with it.

If you were waiting for the 2023 cars before placing your order, it is unlikely the minor changes will be a game changer for you. But the 70^th Anniversary Edition Package should be cool. Is the special badging, luggage set, and other tweaks are worth nearly six grand? That is a decision only you can make. But even at the new increased price point the 2023 Corvette Stingray remains one of, if not the best performance car bargain on the market. That is what the Corvette has always represented, and it remains true to this day.

2023 Corvette Timing

Production of the 2023 Corvette Stingray and the Corvette Z06 is expected to begin on May 9 at the Bowling Green plant in Kentucky. You have a little over a month to save up that extra thousand bucks. And, if you are lucky, you could be driving the newest model year Corvette by the beginning of summer. And, if you are winning lottery ticket lucky, you might be behind the wheel of a Z06 around the same time. Stay tuned here as we will provide additional updates on pricing and options as they become available.
