It’s been a long wait for tuners as the 2019 Corvette ZR1’s ECM remained locked away for the last 13 months behind GM’s enhanced security protocols. We learned last week that HP Tuners is now offering a tunable ECM for the ZR1 and we are now seeing the first videos from performance shops as they begin sharing their results.

It’s not often we see the video of Corvette accidents as they happen but the dash cam on this 18-wheeler captured the moment a pickup truck hits and actually runs over a white C5 Corvette coupe.

Over the weekend we shared the Chazcron render of General Motors CEO Mary Barra standing next to a Sebring Orange 2020 Corvette. Utilizing a real photograph as the background very much enhances these renders by making the C8 Corvette appear almost real. Now the digital artist looks back at the man who for most of his career at Chevrolet advocated for a mid-engine Corvette, Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov.
![[SPIED] A Group of C8 Corvette Prototypes Spotted at a McDonald's in Ohio](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2019/042019_14b.jpg)
Here’s another sighting of the C8 Corvette prototypes in Ohio. While we can make out a McDonald’s restaurant in the background, we are not exactly sure of the location in Ohio.
It looks like the Corvette Team has taken its pre-reveal marketing plan to a whole new level as the group of C8s feature several camo-only prototypes with the same 07.18.19 reveal date graphics on the doors as we saw on the C8 Corvette in NYC. Driving through the state of Ohio is sure to result in even more photos so keep your eyes open and let us know if you come across any.
