If (when) it is introduced on October 26th, GM will likely say that production will start in 1st quarter 2022. That means by March 31st. That means deliveries should start by mid to late April. Prime selling time for a sports car. The production model year will likely run through to May or June of 2023 and then the 2024 Z06 will track along with 2024 Stingray timing.
Example…we bought our 2017 Volt in March 2016.

Isn't this whole calendar year/model year of a car becoming more and more a relic of the past? Given that cars, the 6thGen Camaro for example, is basically the same year after year, isn't the model year pretty much moot?
If they really have no changes, why worry about the model year? A one year newer car just doesn't have the wow factor of being that new anymore...Just sayin'...
A Z06 is something new, but when it was built is more interesting than what model year they attach it to...Does it really matter? EVs will likely be even more non-distinguishable year to year to year.
