Corvette Z06 Discounts Are Growing as Dealer Lots Fill Up
When the Z06 launched, demand far outpaced supply. People were willing to pay handsomely over MSRP to get one. But clearly, that buzz hasn't lasted. Interest shifted once GM showed off the top-of-the-range Corvette ZR1 and the hybrid ZR1X. Suddenly, once interested buyers, or even those who ordered a Z06, started jumping ship. But who can blame them? While the Z06 has a naturally aspirated V8 with 670 hp, the ZR1's twin-turbocharged V8 makes 1,067 hp. That's not even to mention the ZR1X that benefits from 1,250 hp.
With supply building up and fewer takers, dealers are starting to feel the pressure. Ironically, once highly sought-after Z06s are now selling below sticker. Using Chevrolet's online inventory tool, we found 3,678 C8 Corvettes currently for sale in North America. Out of that total, 1,701 are Z06s, which is more than twice the number of E-Rays available. In some cases, these Z06s are being discounted by over $10,000. For example, Clark Chevrolet in Texas has a 2025 Corvette Z06 1LZ listed for $109,209 – $12,000 lower than its MSRP.
If you've been contemplating pulling the trigger on a Z06, now might be your moment. After all, it is still one of the best bang-for-your-buck performance cars money can buy, rivaling exotics that cost more than double its price. The Z06 might not be the hot ticket it once was, especially with the ZR1 in the picture, but that's not a bad thing for enthusiasts. For the first time since launch, you can walk into a dealer, pick your perfect spec, and buy one without feeling swindled. And in the era of hybrid and electric supercars, the naturally aspirated Z06 is starting to look like the last of a dying breed.

Detroit-based General Motors Company (GM) designs, builds, and sells trucks, crossovers, cars, and automobile parts, and also provides software-enabled services and subscriptions. With a market cap of $50 billion, General Motors operates through GM North America, GM International, Cruise, and GM Financial segments. The auto maker notably outperformed the broader market over the past year, but underperformed in 2025. GM stock has surged 21.1% over the past 52 weeks and dipped 1.4% in 2025, compared to the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 14.5% gains over the past year and 6.1% returns on a YTD basis.

Narrowing the focus, GM has also outperformed the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLY) 18.2% gains over the past 52 weeks and a 3.7% drop in 2025. General Motors' stock prices plunged 8.1% following the release of its Q2 results on Jul. 22. While the company observed improvements in used vehicle and service revenues, and an increase in leased vehicle income and finance charges, its vehicle, parts, and accessories sales remained under pressure. This resulted in a 1.8% year-over-year drop in overall topline to $47.1 billion. However, this figure surpassed the Street's expectations by a notable margin. Meanwhile, its adjusted net income plunged 29.8% year-over-year to $2.5 billion, but adjusted EPS of $2.53 beat the consensus estimates by 5.9%. Following the initial drop, GM stock prices surged 8.7% in the subsequent trading session. For the full fiscal 2025, ending in December, analysts expect GM to report an adjusted EPS of $9.41, down 11.2% year-over-year. On a positive note, the company has a solid earnings surprise history. It has surpassed the Street's bottom-line estimates in each of the past four quarters. The stock has a consensus 'Moderate Buy' rating overall. Of the 28 analysts covering the stock, opinions include 11 'Strong Buys,' two 'Moderate Buys,' 12 'Holds,' and three 'Strong Sells.' This configuration is slightly more bullish than a month ago, when only 10 analysts gave 'Strong Buy' recommendations and one suggested a 'Moderate Buy' rating. On Jul. 22, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives maintained an 'Outperform' rating on GM and set a price target of $55. GM's mean price target of $55.73 suggests a 6.1% upside potential. Meanwhile, the Street-high target of $80 represents a staggering 52.3% premium to current price levels.

William Byron wins NASCAR Cup race at Iowa with fuel running out
William Byron nursed his No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet to the finish line at Iowa Speedway as the whole team held its breath that there was enough fuel left in the car to take the checkered flag. After running out of gas while running third at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last week and while leading the race at Michigan International Speedway earlier this summer, Byron managed to save enough fuel to make it to the finish line and to hold off Chase Briscoe, Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney to win the Iowa Corn 350 on Sunday, Aug. 3. "How about that for some fuel mileage," a relieved Byron said after climbing out of his car on the start/finish line. "We've had our share of things not going our way with fuel mileage. We've been through a lot this year. It's been a lot of growing pains. It's been tough on us, but it feels really good today to get a win. "Luckily, the fuel was enough at the end. I think I ran out there. That's why I stopped." Byron, who started second behind Briscoe, led a race-high 141 of 350 laps. He took his final lead after passing his teammate Chase Elliott on a restart on Lap 277, but multiple cautions shook up the fuel strategy for many teams. Byron had made the earliest pit stop among the drivers chasing him down in the closing laps, forcing both the driver and the No. 24 team to walk a tightrope between having enough speed to keep the lead and enough gas to make it to the end. Byron began the season with a victory in the season-opening Daytona 500 in February, but despite leading the points standings for most of the season, Daytona remained his lone win of 2025. "Our confidence in each other never wavered," Byron said. "Our speed's been better than it's ever been, and that's a big reason why we stayed confident. We needed just one to go our way, and today it did." Briscoe finished second, Keselowski third, Blaney fourth and Ryan Preece fifth. Last week's winner Bubba Wallace rebounded from damage earlier in the race to finish sixth.
