As posts continue to trickle into social media from this yearly, highly anticipated event, CorvSport is there to find some of the coolest sights and sounds you may have missed.

1) 2025 ZR1: Then & Now

It’s hard to believe that just one year ago, this is what we saw at the NCM bash. The ZR1 hype did not disappoint in 2025, with news emerging just last week that the first customer cars began production on Monday of this week. This good news comes after three weeks of plant closures for what some described as “widebody tooling.”
