Jet Stream Blue
Has anyone noticed that all the talk, positive and negative, about the new blue has somehow gone by the way side? Really, the new color of blue has to be seen to give its real beauty. The changing of lighting natural or man made makes a real difference on how it looks. I know I have one in my garage and it changes on a daily basis. Bottom line, everyone that has seen it says it's really beautiful. IMO

The changing color based on what light is hitting it is what turns me off to JSB. I liked it the first time I saw it, but the next time I hated it (different light which brought the Aqua). I didn't like LMB for the same reason. I guess I'm stuck with White, Black or Red as they are always the same. No point driving a car that only looks good (to me) half the time...

I own JSB and I was embarrassed by the shameless antagonisnm of that previous member. I feel, one color is no better than any other. I know some think Silver is faster, Black is stealthier, All Corvettes are Red and all that. But when all the dust settles I think we agree on one thing. It's a Corvette and that's pretty special.

I saw a JSB coupe on the road a few days ago on a bright, sunny day. The car and the color looked fantastic. Of course, I feel that way about most C6s but in this case the color really stood out (in a very positive way).

I agree with 2Bubbas-the color shouldn't be a dividing issue as it had become. The departed poster hurt JSB more than he helped it by his "promoting." Looking back, the colors I see as less than desirable were the Frost Beige and a companion color light blue that were offered in '78-'79. Not sure what the General was thinking with those colors. The '50's colors on 'Vettes at least reflected the times-not sure what these were a part of. I've owned Riverside Gold, Classic White, several reds, and blacks over the years. Whenever you get what you have ordered, the color you didn't choose suddenly gets your attention. Multiple colors/cars are required!

Totally agree, same thing with the badges, you like it, stick it on. Who cares what other people think, they're not making your payments.
Have to admit JSB guy was annoying!

theres no way to win this arguement. if i said jsb sucked, everyone who has one will be all over me. and if i said it was great, i'd get a pat on the back. personally i didn't get jsb, but if you like the color what else matters?

Jet Stream was the reason we have moderators here.......can you imagine what this forum would be like without them?
I agree that all of your colors are beautiful --- because we chose 'em! If you did not like the color of your car you would not have purchased it.

ok, I have JSB and think it's a great color.. What other people think or like is none of my concern.. It's what I like, as I'm making the payments.. If you like Red, Black, White or whatever, that's the most important thing.. Enjoy what you bought.

I've seen Jet Stream Blue in person multiple times (once today actually) and it still makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit. The Le Mans Blue was such a stronger color with more depth. The JSB to me looks like a sun faded blue and the color changes make the same car look different colors when looking at it from just a single angle. 
But of course this is just my opinion and everyone knows what opinions are like.....

I am kinda partial to JSB, but have had Black, green, orange and red in the past. I agree with a previous poster, any color is fine. Its just what you like at the moment. Let's just 
and have a good time here on the forum.
