How are Paint Colors Selected?
Original question is here.
Reason222 asked:
I'm curious to know what kind of process goes into choosing the colors that will be available for Corvettes. I may be the odd guy out, but i feel like the colors available for corvette tend to stay pretty generic. I'm sure Black, red, gray, white and blue are your biggest sellers and kind of standard. Why not use some of the extra color "slots" you have available to use something more vibrant and interesting.
You could make a lighter green, lime green, or a lighter orange, or a lighter shade of purple. Sure they might not be high sellers, but that's what your "standard" colors could be for. Why keep changing the shade of gray, or having multiple reds? Is the market you're missing for these lighter, more vibrant colors not large enough to offset the cost? or is there some other force that keeps corvettes in dark shades of pretty much everything.

grcor asked:
Can you please tell us why you are not molding the fenders to eliminate the need for spats, protective film, and splash guards?

Track performance GS MRC vs Z51 with T1 Suspension
Original question is here.
C7fasttoy asked:
I would be interested to know in between GS non Z07 and Z51 with T1 suspension which would have better track performance assuming both using same tire despite the fact GS has some advantage due wider tires.

Cold Air Intake
Original question is here.
Rookieracer asked:
It seems like the aftermarket industry has found quite a lot of power with the various cold air intake systems. More than I would normally think possible on a modern day hot rod like the Z06.
Would you please share your thoughts on the possible restriction of the air intake system on the Z06 models versus the base models?
