Do they feed someone acid and then let them design a pace car for Corvette or what?

What's with the green? Is this a one of a kind color?

<-------------- would love to see green back!

It never sells well, but GREEN is my favorite color.

I loved the unique fairway green back on the '97/'98 C5s!

Finally green is back. I hope they make it available in a non pace car version.

Those ugly white stripes look like mechanics cloths.

I like the green color, very rich looking, but the hash marks are a little over the top.

I wonder how close this color is to the C4's Polo Green


This was my 96 vert, I also had a 95 coupe in the same color. One of the best looking GM greens ever. Those "hash marks" are over the top for me though.

I just saw pictures of this car for the first time today and I think it looks great. Kerbeck just announced that they will have the car pacing the upcoming Toys 4 Tots run.

I think "Bowling Green Metallic" looks great on a this Grand Sport in the sun!

I remember reading somewhere about Synergy Green but this color does not look like the Camaros that were Synergy Green.
