LeMans vs. Electron Side by Side pic?
I'm trying to decide between a LeMans blue Z06 or an Electron Blue Z06. Does anyone have a pic of a LMB and a EB Z06 (preferrably) sitting side by side? Prefer a daytime pic and a nitetime pic if available so I can get a good comparison between the two. Tried the search to no avail. Thanks guys!

They're both awesome colors - I don't think you'd be disappointed with either of them. I'll keep looking in my archives and see if I have a better pic of just the two together.
Here are a couple of pics I took at the NCM. I'm pretty sure the order is
- Admiral Blue
- Nassau Blue
- Navy Blue Metallic
- Electron Blue
- Lemans Blue
Hope it helps!

Just remember that the LeMans Blue Z06 is only available with the black interior and it is the Commemorative Edition Z06, with the carbon fiber hood. If you opt for a LMB coupe or Vert you can only get the Shale interior. Only produced on the C5 in 2004, some dealers may still have a new one if you want to search.
The EB Z06 was available in 2002 & 2003 with the mod red or black interior. The coupe and vert also had various interior color choices.
It is a very nice color blue, but I wanted the CE Z06.
Next to each other the LMB is a shade darker than the EB. Hope this helps.
Good Luck!

JMO, but the Electron Blue is about the best color I have seen in the blues. I would love to have a car that color.

In some light conditions they look very close - but LeMans blue is darker.

Here's the same five cars as before in a different order at a different angle.

IMO, the best looking blue is MILLENIUM YELLOW 
that being said, i like the electron blue second....
and that being said, (and not to open the can-o-worm) black interior is a must for me to hide the less-than-stellar fit and finish of the vette.
