Win a 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X (VIN #11) — Gas Monkey Garage GMG #30 Part II

What you're looking at

The ZR1X is the top of the C8 pyramid and, arguably, the most serious performance car America has ever series-produced. Chevrolet took the ZR1's 5.5-liter flat-plane-crank LT7 — twin-turbocharged, 1,064 hp on its own — and bolted the E-Ray's electrified front axle to the nose of it. Total system output is 1,250 hp with eAWD traction off the line, an 8-speed dual-clutch behind the engine, Alcon carbon-ceramic brakes on 16.5-inch rotors with 10-piston front calipers, and Magnetic Ride Control. Chevrolet quotes 233 mph and a 0–60 in the 1.6-second range, which is hypercar arithmetic at a fraction of hypercar money.

This particular car is VIN #11, an early-build 3LZ coupe finished in Blade Silver Metallic over Sky Cool Gray and fitted with the carbon-fiber aero package — front splitter, dive planes, underbody strakes, hood gurney and the tall rear wing that Chevrolet says generates more than 1,200 lbs of downforce at speed. It is the same chassis Gas Monkey put up in June; that winner, listed on the site as Chris W. from Bakersfield, elected the cash instead, so the car went back on the board for a second run.

Why it matters

Halo Corvettes with two-digit VINs do not sit still. A 6-mile black ZR1X coupe with a $249,018 sticker brought $365,000 on Bring a Trailer in March 2026, and the limited-run Quail Silver cars have been trading between $452,000 and $605,000 at Mecum and on BaT through the spring and summer. That froth will fade as Bowling Green fills the order bank — it always does — but a low-VIN, carbon-aero 3LZ is the version most likely to hold a premium once it does. The honest read: this is a car you'd keep, not a car you'd flip in a hurry and expect May money for.

The caveat worth stating plainly is mileage. The Official Rules say the Corvette "may include mileage at the Sponsor's discretion," and no odometer figure is published anywhere on the giveaway page. A delivery-miles car and a car that has done a season of show duty are not the same asset.

The fine print worth knowing

Entries are earned at one per dollar spent sitewide, with a multiplier the operator advertises on the site — the current entry packages price out at 300 entries per dollar ($45 for 13,500 entries at the low end, up to $999.99 for 300,000). The free route is a plain 4x6 postcard, no envelopes, worth 51 entries; write "STICKER" in the bottom right corner to double it and "ADDITIONAL ENTRIES" plus the date in the bottom left to claim the same multiplier paid entries get. That last detail matters — it is what keeps the free path competitive rather than decorative. Postcards must be postmarked by August 27, 2026 and received by September 3, 2026. The full mailing address is in the operator's Official Rules, reproduced in the free-entry section of this listing.

The drawing is scheduled for September 5, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. ET in Newark, NY, run by National Sweepstakes Company, LLC as independent administrator. The winner is on the hook for registration, taxes and insurance after delivery, and federal tax on a prize of this size is not a small number — budget accordingly. There is a cash-in-lieu election, but it is $87,333 against a Grand Prize ARV of $267,500, so taking the money is a steep discount on the car.

One more thing to check for yourself before you spend: Gas Monkey's own rules-index page and the Official Rules it links to do not currently agree on this giveaway. The index lists the ZR1X as ending 9/10/26, open to residents of "the 50 US or DC," and "Subject to Official Rules available at sharedsweeps.com/rules" — a separate, pooled $100,000 cash sweepstakes run by Shared Sweeps LLC. The GMG #30 Part II Official Rules say entry closes 11:59:59 p.m. PT on September 3, 2026, restrict eligibility to the 48 contiguous states and DC, and describe only the car and the trip. Read the linked Official Rules, not the summary, and know which document you're entering under.
