Most of us will never casually stroll into a dealership and drive off in a 2026 Corvette ZR1. That’s not pessimism… That’s just math. But a non-profit out of Worcester, Massachusetts called MS Solutions has found a delightfully sneaky way to make that dream feel a lot more achievable, while simultaneously doing something genuinely meaningful with your money.
The organization — a registered 501(c)(3) — is running a charity sweepstakes with a grand prize that’ll make any car lover do a double-take: a brand-new 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, plus $25,000 in cash. If you’d rather skip the garage queen and go straight for the money, there’s also a $150,000 cash alternative. Either way, somebody’s having a very good October 4th, 2026: that’s when MS Solutions draws the winning name.
So What Exactly Is the ZR1, for the Three People Who Don’t Already Know?
If you’ve been living under a rock — or perhaps just prioritizing sleep over automotive YouTube rabbit holes — here’s the quick brief: the 2026 Corvette ZR1 is America’s current king of the hill, full stop.
Under that sculpted hood sits a 5.5-liter LT7 twin-turbocharged flat-plane V8 that cranks out a genuinely absurd 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque. Chevrolet’s engineers managed to package twin 76mm turbos directly into the exhaust manifolds, all but eliminating turbo lag — which is the automotive equivalent of removing the annoying pause before a punchline lands.
The engine screams to an 8,000 RPM redline, launches the car to 60 MPH in 2.3 seconds, and keeps pulling all the way to a 233 MPH top speed. It has also lapped tracks across the United States and set a record at the Nürburgring in Germany as the fastest non-hybrid American car to ever do so — a fact that presumably caused some discomfort over at Ford HQ.
Car enthusiasts, you may now resume your regularly scheduled gasping.
The Specific Car Up for Grabs Is Actually Gorgeous
MS Solutions isn’t just tossing keys to a base-spec coupe — they’ve put some thought into the configuration. The grand prize ZR1 is a Split Window Coupe finished in Riptide Blue, paired with a 3LZ Santorini Blue Napa Leather interior. The build leans more Grand Touring than track-day weapon, featuring the integrated low spoiler and a ride tune better suited to eating up highways than carving apexes. Rounding out the spec: Carbon Flash Black dual racing stripes, Carbon Flash ZR1 wheels, and Bright Red brake calipers for that little splash of “yes, I did just pull up.”
Honestly? It’s a stunning combination. The kind of car you’d drive to dinner and spend the whole meal glancing out the window at.
But Here’s the Part That Actually Matters
MS Solutions exists to support people living with Multiple Sclerosis — a disease that affects millions of Americans and can drastically alter everyday life. The organization raises public awareness while also providing direct grants, support programs, and services to those diagnosed with MS across all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
Those grants aren’t abstract. They cover things like healthcare costs, portable wheelchair ramps, hand controls for vehicles, and cooling aids for people who struggle with heat intolerance. This is practical, life-changing help that goes directly to individuals navigating a difficult diagnosis.
