It would be cool to drive that around for the day. Kids would love it. The dash looks well equipped with electronic too.
I think my favorite detail is the Salvador Dali-like melted hot dog over the driver's part of the dash.

Goodbye resale value and happy hunting for a buyer when it comes time to sell.

In the shop I have three seasonal cars - a yellow one, a red one, and a green one (see the avatar) - my wife and I call them mustard, ketchup, and relish. They look okay sitting next to one another, however I don't think I would like the yellow / red scheme on a single vehicle.

No one here is saying you can't have your Happy Meal™ and eat it too. This gets my vote as nominee for best thread in C7 section, replete with dancing Ronald McDonald. Well played gentleman, well played.

I've got the red and black interior in my white 09 C6 and I like it but... Think the natural leather would go good better with a yellow car. And a dark carbon fiber roof. Sort of like this:

That looks good, but the Kalahari interior really stands out. Without a doubt, carbon fiber adds to it.

I think it looks pretty good in that pic of the C6 - would shine it would look good too in a C7.

Chevrolet's Corvette marketing guru advised me the extra charge is just to make sure you really want something different than their color combos. The increased cost to build any combo is $0.

They don't want people to order some weird combo and then complain about it when it gets delivered.

Yellow looks good on the C7.

I wonder if that color will have any pearl in it... I've seen some yellow Lambos with pearl metalic in the paint and it looks very good... I think pearl in the yellow paint would look good on the C7, small details like that help add to the exotic looks of the car.

Those bright colors also look good on magazine covers when the car gets the cover. Helps the car get good press.

I really will get the red interior with the yellow exterior because I love the many negative comments

No pearl but it is a tint coat which tends to give it more depth appearance than non tint coat..
