Want to Drive a C8 Z06? Head Over to the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Next Month!
Those eager to get behind the wheel of a C8 Z06 will be able to do so in the coming weeks.
With the first deliveries of the 2023 Corvette Z06 on the cusp of beginning, the first high-performance variant of the C8 generation remains in high demand, with seemingly little supply to go around. GM will play it slow with the new Z06, working to ensure that the launch goes off without a hitch. Unfortunately for a lot of folks, this means that they won’t be getting one any time soon, so what’s one to do if you want to try this amazing new machine out? Well, now there is a way, because the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park (NCM) has added two C8 Z06 Corvettes to its fleet.
These new C8 Z06 Corvettes will be built later this month and will be available to the public in November for Touring Laps at the track, giving fans the opportunity to test the car out for themselves in a suitable environment. Customers will be able to complete four laps at higher-than-highway speeds in a lead/follow format around the 3.2-mile, 23-turn road course. A Fast Pack is also available, which adds a 0-60 mph launch on the straightaway and a hot lap with an MSP professional driver behind the wheel.
Those that are interested in getting behind the wheel of a C8 Z06 at NCM can join the waiting list for this experience at the track’s official site. The basic four-lap package costs around $1,059, while the Fast Pack comes in around $1,483. Of course, NCM offers a variety of other experiences involving the regular C8 Corvette, track rentals for those that want to take their own car for a spin, and even high-speed go-karts. The main draw moving forward figures to be the high-revving C8 Z06, however, and NCM is also giving away a Fast Pack to one lucky person via the registration site, too.
“We pride ourselves on delivering world-class experiences to our guests,” said Greg Waldon, Executive Director of the NCM Motorsports Park. “By adding the Z06s to our fleet, we’re taking our services to the next level. Being the first track in the nation to offer this kind of experience is special, and we look forward to thrilling Corvette enthusiasts and car lovers from across the country.”
