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.”
And Now: Some ZR1 Sights From 2025
From cloaked in secrecy to in the flesh–Reddit user nOoneleftbehind excitedly shows off his C5 parked amongst the 2025 ZR1s in the wild!
Another Reddit r/Corvette member was excited to share some ZR1s he witnessed in the flesh!
2) Two New 2026 Colors Revealed
If you’ve been to a bash, you’ll recall that it’s a great time to see what’s new for next year’s Corvette, and this bash was no exception. Enthusiasts got their first look at Roswell Green Metallic and Blade Silver Metallic, two new finishes that the NCM remarks “bring a mix of futuristic style and timeless flair to America’s Sports Car.” But there’s always a catch, and Rapid Blue and Sea Wolf Gray Tricoat will be retired after 2025.
♦ Roswell Green Metallic: “A vibrant, otherworldly tone—an instant standout for those looking to drive something truly different…”
♦ Blade Silver Metallic: “A sleek comeback, nodding to Corvette heritage with a clean, high-impact look that reflects Corvette’s legacy of performance and design…”
3) On The Ground Coverage From YouTuber & Enthusiast HorsePower Obsessed
