Default 2023 Corvette - 70th Anniversary - Cast Your Predicitions!

Yes, 2023 is a little while off, but I wouldn’t be surprised if GM is bouncing around ideas for a 70th Anniversary Package. Will it just be a graphics package, unique badging or something else? Will the LT2 get a HP bump? Or could 2023 be the first year for the Z06? What are your ideas for a 70th Anniversary Package? Post your predictions now and (hopefully) I’ll remember to revive this thread after the 2022 Bash and we can see who of us is the most clairvoyant!

I guess the Zora version will come out (whatever it may be).. If I had to guess now, I'd say twin turbo + electric motors for the front wheels making it AWD. HP-wise, maybe 1000. Will be limited production of course. MSRP in the ballpark of $150k

It's going to be some special graphics only. Maybe a unique emblem embossed on the head rests or something at most. GM makes pretty lame "special editions" for Corvettes.

Roughly 0% chance of that happening.

decals and stripes, they didn't do much for the 50th, I can't see them going out of their way to do something special for 70.

Every 2023 will be white with a red interior and the Z06 engine will be called the “Blue Flame LT6”.

I'm guessing just graphics and maybe a special color for 70th anniversary ... and I'm hoping an all electric 1K hp AWD for the 75th!!!

My guess: It won't start production until 2024.

LOL at the rate things are going now, that wouldn't surprise me one bit!

In all seriousness, I hope when this thread gets brought back up from the dead in a couple years that society is not still wearing ridiculous masks everywhere!

Just BNG. There's a definite pattern of anniversary being "blah".

Good Choice !
Maybe something like the 82 Collectors Edition with the stripes in a gradient fade
A New Greige for the grey fans
A quick photo shop color change on the 2021 Race Edition

Green new deal will ban all privately owned cars. Electric public transportation only to get to work at the collective farm.
