Default LeMans blue vs. Black?

Hey all. Can't seem to find the information anywhere, but I was wondering if anybody knew whether or not the LS3's come in LeMans blue?

Second, my last two cars have been black and in my opinion a CLEAN black car is the best looking, but I'm afraid a 3 black car won't feel as "new" as going with a LeMans Blue or something. Any thoughts on one over the other?

Lemans Blue is an awesome color, but I believe 2007 was the last year. No LS3.

no, they went to the JSB in 2009 I believe. The LeMans Blu is the best color they ever made for the vette IMO. It ended in 2007 tho. The new Cyber blue is pretty nice too tho.
Go ahead and buy the carbon edition z06 and you can get the Cyber blue that way. That would be what I would do. If I had a spare 90k laying around.
Just sayin

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I'm dead set on the LS3, so I guess no Lmb for me. Black it is :-)

There's no such color as Cyber Blue. You probably mean Supersonic Blue since it's one of the two colors available on the Z06 Carbon (the other being Inferno Orange). There's also Cyber Gray, available on the C6 but not on the Z06 Carbon.

The LMB is an incredible color. Fourth year of ownership and when I see it sitting in the sun it continues reinforcing the decision I made on the color. You simply never get sick of it!

First question, live with the ls2, There is not that much difference IMO. Question 2, black looks good when it's clean for the first hour....just get AW and call it a day ....lol

2007 was the final year for LMB, except for a 2010 ZR1 VIN #1 that someone bought.

This is a no brainer. Black! I'm on my 5th black on black Vette and highly doubt I'd ever get any other color.
