My thoughts exactly. Reminds me of Goodwood Green a.k.a. BRG.
Some white on the hood would work just like it did before.

I think it's a great color.

for the pic I took back in April of the HOOD in LimeRock!
I ordered LRG after seeing the hood at the museum, in fact my dealer called me while I was in BG the end of June and said Nancy (there Vette contact) was in from corporate and needed my color choice that day, Have you ordered any LRG that have been built? Mine was only car in 1st consensus at my dealer, went to 3000 in June, 3300 early last week. Z51, 3LT Kalahari, NPP, & 7sp. No carbon. Just wandering if any have been built.

Mine is also a Z51, 3LT, LRG/Kalahari, NPP, 7sp, chrome wheels. July consensus, went to 3000 in Aug and 3300 last week. Is it time for a run of LRG Stingrays?

I think the video was very shot dark. Other pictures I've seen of LRG look lighter, more true to the "lime" in its name.

This is a color that will make the C7 standout from other cars.

Gorgeous color. One of my all time favorite colors on a vette is 1969 Fathom Green, it had an almost bluish tint to it. I like the deep color like this and night race blue. They will look black at night but have a nice color tone in direct light. Beautiful. I can see why you switched. (Although the white C7 with black wheels is pretty sweet as well.)

Excellent choice—it's a gorgeous color! I think some of the controversy comes from the name? While I understand the significance of Lime Rock, I think the "lime" part throws folks a little.

Personally, I don't care for red on a Corvette—or any car—that isn't Italian. But that's just me.

I have a LRG z51 7 sp 3LT kalahari NPP MRC black wheels and stinger hood stripe that went to 3400 on 9/12 no interior carbon or roof. Ordered thru Rick Corvette Conti. Maybe two LRG on the same truck to Columbus? No info on TPW or Vin - Next week?

This is looking VERY PROBABLE for a bunch of us waiting on LRG to get our cars built next week!!!

I bet that's the case!

I got carbon fiber roof on mine with the sides painted to match the body.
Where will you be coming from to get your car? If they come in on the same truck, i'll shoot some pics for you if you're out of town.

I will be driving in from the Indianapolis area as soon as I get a call from Rick. Then will have a three hour drive back on I70 to Fishers IN to play with all the new toys.

I would consider it. I had Elkhart Green (72) and British Racing Green (68) Vettes, loved them both.

I am not a big fan of green on Vettes but if you are, you won't be disappointed. I saw it up close and personal in July and it is a great green. Very nice. Had the brown man cave interior. It was lovely.

Ok let me know if you want me to shoot any pics for ya. I know that drive very well. The last road trip I took in my C6 was to Indianapolis. Man I was tearing up I-70W until I realized I needed to upgrade my brakes to match that 600rwp the beast was putting out...

I hope you are right. I got a 9/23 TPW off the chat line yesterday, but today cust serv sent me a pm saying still at 3300. When I told her I got a date yesterday & asked if it was accurate, she wanted my last name & phone # so she could find out who I chatted with. I haven't heard back from her, but it worries me a little.

Hi there,

No TPW or VIN as of yet, but you're getting there! Your event code is still at 3400-Broadcast, please keep checking back for updates!

I am just the opposite got a 3400 status but no TPW or VIN - go figure.
