Default I'm loving this color! Pics from a cruise today.

Took the car out of the garage today, put in a bottle of Star Tron fuel treatment, filled her up and went for a cruise and snapped these pics with my cell phone:

This is only the 3rd time I've driven the car, still getting used to it.

Anyhow, never thought I'd wind up with an orange car, but I am loving this color, it just pops in the sun, and I love these 360 Forged wheels too. Car is so darn fast too. Glad to be part of the C6Z community, they are awesome cars!

Pics straight from my cell phone, no touchups or changes at all.

Haha, you are the second person on the forum to mention you didn't like the stripe. Personally I really like it, and feel it's tasteful, but to each their own.

Thanks for the feedback

In Texas that color is considered "burnt orange" - Hook'em Horns!

I've got a Honda VTX 1800R that's VERY close to that color and love it. Your car is gorgeous......KEEP THE STRIPE! Distinctive, unique, and tastefully done....YAHTZEE!!!


And ya wanna talk weather? Tuesday and Wednesday we're supposed to have highs of 3 degrees and lows of 11 below zero. Fun's over......

Ah, ok, sorry I misunderstood you. As far as colors go I have mostly had either black or red...and mostly black. But I am sick of black now because of how it shows everything. I've always loved blue too, had a 1962 Chevelle SS that was blue and that was it, but a nice blue is definitely one of my favorite colors.

2FastCorvette4U is correct on the wheels, and I believe they are 20x12 rear and 20x10 front.
