Default New '16 Corvette Racing Yellow Arrives

Hard color to photograph, I felt I was capturing it right without direct sun on her.....

Thanks so much for the patience of so many - I wish we controlled production, shipping, invoicing and all that. The wait for a New Corvette has to be exciting and sometimes stressful, thank-you for understanding!

Our 1st Corvette Racing Yellow Z06 is going to Roland in Cleveland, Ohio - just prepped I am sure he will be here any day to start enjoying the hottest part of Corvette season!

MORE PICS OF THIS NEW YELLOW FOR 2016

I like it. It reminds me of Daytona Yellow from the 60's.

Great photos of the racing yellow. Question for you Rick on the calipers. Unless it was just the lighting but they look more like the velocity yellow color then the racing yellow color. Was waiting for these pics for some time, thanks again

It sure does, I guess they failed to mention it to brembo the color change.
I'll be getting mine next week and I guess I'll have to have them redone. If I had known then I would have gotten red calipers.

That is pretty disappointing how the calipers don't match the actual color of the car now.

I didn't think it would be that much of a difference but the pictures have proven me wrong. I'm going to change it back to stock red now for my order!

I wouldn't change to red. Still looks way better with the yellow calipers. Last years color didn't match exactly either.

I don't like that hue of yellow. Reminds me of the yellow that was on the 2002 CE FIrebird/Trans Am which was too light in color.

I think so too, a little lighter now that we can see the whole car and not a paint square.....Yellow on Corvette is hot - PERIOD!

Velocity Yellow is still the better yellow.
