JSB is an outstanding color. I had an 08 JSB car. What is interesting is the color wasn't a popular ordered color. However, in a crowd at a show the number of comments about how much better it looked than other Corvette colors was amazing. It just stood out.

JSB is a pretty color. Personally I like the Z06's in all the colors with the exception of that pale blue color, I forget what it's called, but I just think it's dull and does nothing for the car, but hey beauty is in the eye on the beholder!

You mean this? Super Sonic Blue? I only love it on the 2011 Carbon Z06 with black ZR1 wheels and black headlamps, mirrors and a few other accents.. otherwise it doesn't seem work well "pop" wise. Looks racy on the CE Z06 for some reason. I think the black mix makes it work I think. JMO.

Congrats on the JSB! I bought my JSB form Corvette World 2 years ago with 8900 miles on it too, how funny yours having the same mileage from the same store. I don't know if you've already got a group to hang out with but here's the link to our local club.

We meet every Sunday at 5:30 in the Whiskey Cake parking lot, hope to see you there.

Welcome to the JSB club!
Bought my '08 Z06 3 years ago with 8500 miles on it. Like a new car still. Enjoy.

Yes, that's the color. And even in that lighting which makes everything look amazing it still does no justice for that car. The only color I think that would be worse is a brown/tan.

It doesn't look "bad" simply because the car itself is amazing. But any other car would look so much better.

But again, to each their own, this is just my opinion with my own eyes, and I certainly don't mean to insult anyone.

That's a cool coincidence, Corvette World has some amazing inventory for sure. I appreciate the invite to hang out but as soon as I bought the car I drove it 1100 miles to its new home in NC

I'm not really a blue car guy, but I love the SSB Carbon editions...beautiful cars.


I thought you might have been referring to Carlisle blue. Now there's real a love/hate relationship with that color...I used to hate it, now I actually kind of like it.

Congratulations on a beautiful C6Z. I just don't understand how a Corvette like that has such low mileage. Maybe she was afraid of it.

Beautiful car! I love the spider wheels, I actually prefer them over my wheels.

Congrats on your new ride. I also was able to keep my C5 when getting my C6 Z06. Enjoy your ride, it's a great car.

I got myself into an 08 jsb c6z mid last year, best color for sure. I unfortunately let go of my c5z a while back, miss the FRC shape.

If you might want to sell that C5, I have a buddy who wants a clean one like yours in that same color. We're not that far away...

Well, apparently I'm talking to the wrong person. I totally understand, though. Great looking Vette!

That same buddy also happens to love old Chevy trucks- not kidding. Soooo, how about that one?
