Saturday Morning Corvette Comic: 4 Out of 5 Doctors Recommend Corvette


Disclaimer: Doctors have reported that after driving a Corvette even once will improve your health and well-being for the duration of the event, and the more you drive a Corvette, the better off you will be. Side effects include having a positive outlook, increased blood flow to the brain, and the health benefits from increased physical activity due to detailing your new ride. Your wife or significant other will also notice a difference in your sex life, and it’s not uncommon for the ladies to say they find you more attractive due to your Corvette ownership. However, having too many Corvettes can lead to additional stress due to parking and the indecision of which car to drive on a daily basis, so moderate your ownership experience whenever possible.

If you’re planning to attend the Rolex 24 at Daytona this weekend, be sure to make some time to admire the Safety Car. Our favorite non-Corvette, the LT4-motivated Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, is getting a refresh for 2025, and Daytona is your first chance to see its facelift in the metal – or composites, as it were.

The beloved 668-horse RWD powertrain goes untouched as the newly announced upgrade focuses on the skin and brings the interior cluster in line with the rest of Cadillac’s lineup. Inside, the gauges and center screens have been merged into a single 33-inch panel, like you’ll find in the Escalade. Upfront, you’ll notice that the daylight running light “blades” now go unbroken from top to bottom, fixing one of the most widely held design grievances with the 2022-24 cars. Other than the illuminated treatment, Cadillac designers’ primary focal point in the 2025 5-V Blackwing is the “Mondrian pattern” etched into their creation’s mug. For readers that share a lack of culture with their author, said pattern and its name are cribbed from a 19th-century Dutch painter, which helps us nicely transition to the part of the 2025 Blackwing press release that made our collective ears perk up over here in Corvette Land.
