Oh decisions, decisions.....I'd like Red, but the two Silvers and the new Sunrise Orange look awfully tempting! Z07 7 speed fully loaded for me...details to come!

Glad to hear that you and I didn't have to arm wrestle or flip a coin for an allocation......I would of hated losing!

Have you decided on color/trans/options yet?

Thanks John!

If I could see the yellow in person BEFORE I order I would seriously consider it as well but I can't tell by pictures.
More important, what options?
Likely everything except the comp seats but still undecided there as well.

Ah hah! Getting rid of your Superman edition so soon?

J/K...That would be great. What color are you going for this time?

I think yellow would provide the greatest contrast if a person gets all the carbon fibre bits but some might think it looks too much like a bumble bee.

Very strange...it's still called Velocity Tintcoat Yellow but no other GM pictures look like yours...see below...they have a lot more orange to them:

Ya know, seriously, I think it'll be Superman II. I really don't think I'd do anything differently and the Z06 vert in blue is stunning.

My only other thought given the more muscular Z06 is red. In fact, I think my stinger hood stripe...which I would do again...looks best on the red...just looks bad *** in red.

What do you think? Assuming I leave the hood open....which would win at XXX next year?

And even though they've sold...it's Rim Rock Auto now....Ken is the GM and clearly keeping his Corvette focus. I've asked what they'll give for my car......

You know I'm going to suggest red....my favorite color. And with those black accents...XXX winner for sure next year. Just get a few of those chrome hood dress-up items, leave the hood up, and you'll grab first place.

Go for it!

Well thats not a pic of an actual car, thats a artist rendering. It looks much like my Millennium Yellow actually, which has a lot of Orange in it. Every Yellow C7 I've seen is bright *** yellow, and I've seen a few so far.

Walter is trying to win the XXX 1st place trophy next year. Chrome in the engine bay is a means to that end. You know, so the "uninformed unwashed masses" will vote for his new Torch Red '15 ZO6.

This is why I appreciate diversity of opinion John! In 40 years I've never owned a performance car without them!

Well thats not a pic of an actual car, thats a artist rendering. It looks much like my Millennium Yellow actually, which has a lot of Orange in it. Every Yellow C7 I've seen is bright *** yellow, and I've seen a few so far.


The "real" picture I see below looks closer to the "artist rendering" color than your pic's John....that's why I'm confused!

Some pics I have from the debut on my laptop....not mine. It surely looks a lot like Millennium Yellow has made a comeback under a new name.....
