Jump over to the C6 section..... tons of pics there.

If you saw it on Friday it did not look like black but it was dark on an over cast day. Where NRB really pops in in the Sun like on Saturday.

Tell me this NRB convertible doesn't look sick...





See how well this color makes the vents look? It is almost like the carbon flash vents were made for NRB. They have the same metallic content so they really mesh..

I'm disappointed to hear the NRB doesn't come through.
I've seen a couple of videos where it look rather spectacular in daylight, and the Blue top brings out the indigo blue more.
Seen it on the C6 and it looked good ?

The NRB vert is my choice as well especially if your going 3LT brownstone.
Any other blue would not really match up as well - even lemans blue wouldn't match up well with brown in my minds eye.
Second choice ....Cyber gray.

So it doesn't look like this.....?

The Night Race Blue I saw was near the Kerbeck tent and was out in the sun. It did not look like your picture. The car looked black.

What counts here is not what we think about the color, it is what you think. If you are not happy with it then make sure you get something you like. Not a car you want to be unhappy about. If the car doesn't make you want to glance over your shoulder as you walk away, then it isn't for you.
Get the C7 you want.....

My very first car was a Midnight Blue and I really loved it. The car was a POS but it sure looked good. And probably as my last car, I do really really like the Laguna Blue BUT having talked to several Corvette vendors it appears it will be a very "common" color. That's one reason I'm hesitant to order one and the other is it does cost $ 995.00 extra. So, I do like the Cyber Gray, but it too is a bit ordinary as is the Torch Red because every 3rd. Vette is TR. So, I'm leaning towards Night Race Blue with gray interior. I can use that 1K towards performance goodies and it will be unusual...like my Monterey Red C6 is. So, all I need now is sixty grand!

I think I've narrowed it down to NRB or TR.

Love em both.
