Very sharp car! That was the original color that I was looking at, but ended up with Quicksilver.

The LeMans Blue is a beautiful color. It may be heresy, but I would almost prefer a stripe-delete on my Z16...
I don't regret my purchase back in 2007 one bit.

I'm a fan! A few of us got together at the NCM 20th back in August of last year. My favorite shot is the hoods up perspective!
