I have to admit, this is the first time I have been turned off by a color on a corvette. Usually I think a vette looks great in any color.

I like it with the grey headlights and wheels. But I'd never buy that color.

Although, it would probably look a lot better with chrome wheels, IMHO.

I don't know. Perhaps a professional paint and body shop can buff that out. And perhaps add JSB or VR or whatever...

I'm not sure chrome will make that color look any more interesting, tempting, or likable.

That color doesn't do anything for me.


If someone gave me that car, the first thing I would do is repaint it.

Good luck to GM selling many of these except to 'collector' types who will want them for their (likely) rarity. There had to be better blues in the GM color system if that was a requirement for offering Carlisle a 'special' color. Even chrome wheels will only marginally improve things. If that's the kind of thinking going on with respect to the C7 we had all better do our upgrades in cars next year and not wait...

I was at that show...and well if you don't like it in a picture...I doubt you will in person. I stood and looked and looked. I don't get it or understand.

Then I watched it go back in a truck to go to it's next stop.

I'm with most...I would not buy it.

I think that color would have looked great on the lines of the C1. Maybe picturing seeing it on a C2-C3. But C4-C6 I don't think would be a match for that color. At least they are still trying new things with the Vettes.

I was at the show and I had to look at it twice before I got it. The color is WEAK very weak, this is a sports car. I would put it in the pink car class
