It's the official Corvette racing team color.

Just my opinion, and I am sure I will make more enemies than I already have, but to me, yellow is the ultimate "LOOK AT ME" color. I had a 911 which I repainted yellow decades ago, and never wanted another yellow car since.

I've also had a brown car, and a green car, both of which are dead colors today, so I am certainly no expert. For me, yellow is just a bit too loud, and visible.

I like yellow because it matches my 24k "bling".

And the reason you don't like yellow is the exact reason I love it.

I like Yellow and when it comes to cars I like flashy but in everyday life I am anything but flashy. I dress like a bum because I dont care about nice clothes but cars and bikes are my thing so I want to be noticed in them, to each their own.

Certain colors work on certain vehicles, yellow on a vette works, on a Tahoe no so much. Yellow does stand out but it is a Corvette why try to blend in with the crowd? Velocity yellow is bright and does a great job of hiding dirt.

IMO, Fly Yellow is one of the best colors for a sports car. Not so much any other.

Any mention or sight of a specific color that instantly makes the secretions in my mouth flow is one I tend to avoid. Can you say mustard?

I would have bought my current car if it was any other color except the yellow. Just not the color for me. The same reason some guys like women with big ***** and some guys like little *****.


Yeah right..Like there are really guys who like little *****.. .....WW
