The '77 Corvette Bright Yellow was another option, but I'd really like to see more pictures of that color if I were to change my mind to that.

I have to say go with the millinium yellow as i did. Love the color and gets the look. I did my paint job myself for the first time and i have to say that it shows little defects in the paint, or maybe i just lucked out and did a good paint job the first time.

Thanks for all the pictures everyone, it really helped alot. After going back to the shop and taking a look at the paint chips for the Sunflower Yellow, Corvette Yellow, and Millenium Yellow, I decided to go with the Corvette Yellow. It was a very hard decision, but I think I'll be very satisfied with the choice. I'll be sure and get pictures up ASAP after it come back from the paint shop. Now I'll go back to biting my fingernails down to my knuckles as I try and calm my nerves during the paint process. 
I LOVE white vettes

My Millenium yellow ZO6 has been great. Even though it was not my first color choice, being the only Z avaliable at the time, it has absolutely grown on me. If the car were stolen, I would now want one the same color to replace it.
My Z is a daily driver. The yellow looks very good even when dirty. I now have 50,000 miles on the car, still looks fantastic! Frequent compliments.
