#TheLastStand (2013) : Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 (Cortez) and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 (Owens).
General Motors provided seven of each muscle car for filming, only two were returned in pristine condition with others heavily modified for filming. The climatic chase in a 24-acre cornfield outside Albuquerque was made particularly tricky due to a snowstorm prior to filming. The production had not planned for muddy and hard to drive on ground adding to the complications.
