Why don't you start a Pool? Its a lot easier to track the results and more people will respond.

I think it'd be the lowest selling color so either Crystal Red/Lime Rock Green/ Night Race Blue

I did. The site must post the thread while you creating the pole's options.

If I had to pick one to get rid of, it would be NRB.

I would like to see Corvette go with about 5 new colors, what they have now are rather blaaaaa. If they are after the younger crowd then how about some colors for the youner crowd. My 13 year old granddaughter loves the Grabber Blue and her 8 year old brother is wild about the bright greens out there now. Yea, I know that they are a little young but those colors seem to hit the mark with younger people. If Corvette/Chey can get $1000 for yellow and CMT then why not for some new brighter colors.....oh, I forgot it is General Motors, the home of grandma grey.

Exactly what I've been complaining about from the beginning. The new design, lines and technology deserves new colors that compliment. Not the same ones you find on a Malibu, Cruze or even the C6.

Velocity Yellow, Torch Red, Laguna Blue Tintcoat, Arctic White, Black, Blade Silver Metallic.
Other than the above, I find the stingray colors boring. Perhaps the most boring of any current sports car made.

GM needs to expand the BG plant's paint-shop capacity so it can accommodate 15 colors and not just 10.

maybe if C7 sales really take-off GM will allocate the necessary funds for this expensive investment.

Synergy Green? Wow, that was cool, but I'd think I'd get tired of looking at it and the attention that draws. You spot those Camaros a mile away in a full lot of cars. They had a lot of paint problems with that color and I think the supplier had problems at home(energy-Japan?)

One of the best colors I have ever seen was a metallic yellow on a Saleen S7. Absolutely gorgeous shimmer, not over the top, never seen anything like it.

I like it a lot -- probably would choose this one if offered.
Too bad the Vette folks don't make a primered version at a reduced initial price...

I'd love to see it in Inferno Orange or even a touch brighter, if they do put that into the mix I would trade up for color alone.

Can you post a picture so we can all see what you are referring too?
