I like the idea of a green Vette...I always like the dark green, I think it was called Goodwood Green, Vettes I saw as a kid.

But this is hideous...Not for me...

My buddy at work just bought a Dodge Magnum Hemi in the first neon green color you have there.

You can see the thing 'glowing' from the other side of the parking lot.
