Never seen that color combo on any car before and hope I don't again. Sorry.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, only your name is on the registration, only your opinion counts.

Enjoy the new GS.

Default Nice!

I love it! It's different and stands out a bit from the crowd.

Why does it have the white? Is that an actual option?

Yup it's an option. This is why I posted it because it's a bit different from the norm. It's not my car just a color combination I thought of ordering before I purchased the one I own.

A troll? Why would you say that?

They all look good from inside. The outsides are just for others to see. Love these cars.

I like it. I'm not a fan of the hash marks, but it wouldn't stop me from purchasing the car if it had everything else I wanted. They can be easily removed.

Basically, the stripes are all options... you can build pretty much anything you want. Build tool is on the Chebby website.

I priced out a GS vs my 2016 Z51.... with equal equipment, the GS was only $3K more... for somebody looking for a track-oriented sportscar, the GS is a screaming bargain... wish it had been available when I bought my car (although I LOVE my Z51)

Right, but a lot of people find something they like immediately in dealer stock, and can sometimes negotiate a somewhat better deal. If you didn't like the hash marks, I wouldn't consider that a deal killer.

That hashmark decal would take all of 3 minutes to remove ....

If you like it.....go with it. I can't understand why so many GS's are not ordered with the fender hash mark stripes. Those are part of the GS's DNA! I think center stinger stripes or racing stripes should compliment the exterior color, not compete with it. IMO, the white stinger competes with the sterling blue. Whatever you decide on color combinations, you won't be disappointed in the style, the handling, the ride, and the power of any of the C7 variants!

I saw one in that color (minus the hashmarks and stinger stripe) last Friday at the NCM and unfortunately was not impressed with it. I guess I just like the brighter colors - something like Admiral Blue, red or yellow appeals to me more. But really the only opinion that matters is yours and if you really like the color combo, go for it. It's still a C7 and will be a blast to drive.

That really light blue looks like a Mary Kay car.

I like the combo-I wonder what it would have looked like with a red stinger to match the hashes.
