And the other 10% is Camaro... the tail (latest generation) and the nose (previous generation).

Congratulations on finding and figuring out that subtle color selector, Ox! Even after I knew it existed because of your post, it took me several minutes to track it down. What fun that they released all the color options already and have the configurator built to show them from multiple angles!

Color is one of the most subjective personal preference items there is. Nobody is wrong... What you like is what you like. I found that I liked the front of the car in Velocity Yellow, but didn't like how the big red taillights clashed with it. I finally settled on Night Race Blue as my all-around fave.

By the way, did you pick up in one of the many interview videos floating around out there that they are going to allow various interior seat/trim color combinations as options? And that the roof panels will be available in raw CF, body-color painted, or transparent?

More choices = better.
