We are officially one week into the national United Auto Workers strike against the Big Three automakers with no resolution in sight. Earlier this week, UAW president Shawn Fain set a new deadline for Noon on Friday for resolution of the contract talks, saying more workers at a number of new facilities would “stand up” and walk out on their jobs if a deal wasn’t met.

Ultimate two-car garage alert! Last week, Hennessey Performance Engineering jumped the 500-mile hurdle with its 2023 Corvette Z06. Now, the famed Texas tuning shop can really uncork a 5.5-liter bottle of flat-plane fun! As has become customary in Sealy, HPE’s little slice of the Gemini Project will eventually be twisted into a ‘roid-raging monster. But before that can happen, its stock form must be put through its paces as a baseline. Like a sweet old lady on a motorized cart, the Z can still serve a purpose during this “before” stage, and Hennessey knows how to exploit that fact better than any other tuner out there. The Hypersonic Gray Z07 and its brake-dust-covered carbon fiber wheels are about to clock in at their new position as a promotional vehicle and workout buddy/punching bag for fully-juiced HPE creations.

A Colorado Car Spotter captured two C8 Corvette ZR1 prototypes driving through the state, and the big reveal here is that this is the first time we’ve seen the ZR1 prototypes with uncovered wheels.

The prototypes that were spotted both have the forged aluminum Z06 spider-design wheels on the fronts, but the rear wheel on the front car shows a new design that has yet to be revealed. And that’s what is weird about this sighting is that Chevy never showed the wheels for the prototype Z06 or the E-Ray until they were properly revealed to the public, so why are they showing this mixed set-up now?
