Color Decision Gets No Help
I spent hour today at Hendrick Chevy in Buford, GA. I went there to get a close look at Artic White and felt that was the direction I was heading. But Laguna Blue kept calling my name and catching my eye. CRAP!
Hendrick had all the colors and while there I watched them finish unloading a trailer full of C7s. Very cool to see them come off the truck all wrapped. I strolled over to check the color combinations.
The dealership was very busy. People were waiting in line to talk to a salesman. People are trying to get a deal before the GA floor tax hits tomorrow night.
It was a great place to look. No one even said hello the hour I was there. I did not see any Vettes being sold...

I bought Arctic White C7 Z51.. my last car was a C6 ZO6 Victory Yellow...when I waxed that car the color popped....
i love the car, but waxing a white car just doesn't do it for me..... go with the blue

knowledgeable corvette person at Hendricks
I was at Hendricks a few weeks ago, they had 4 C7s. There was a C7 guy that worked there and it seemed he knew the answer to every question I asked, he was very helpful. I don't recall which location it was as I live about two hours south of there, but it was the one where they are doing a lot of construction to the dealership. I have the guys card somewhere...

Red/White or Blue! I would not get just white. I really like the red racing strips with the black touches around the car.
This is how I would build the white, sans the black wheels.
Still a tough choice. The Laguna is a classic look. The white is a little more "boy racer". Hey I'm 54 years young...

I feel the same way. I live in Macon, 100 miles from Hendrick. Problem is no big volume dealers in my area. Might just do one of the big out of state dealers like Kerbeck and just do the Museum delivery.

I bought a Laguna blue z51 from rick Hendricks, Duluth Ga from Dan houser. I live in between both th burford(bought my C6 GS) and Duluth by about 9 miles each. If you come back this way I will be glad to meet you, show you the car and introduce you to dan. No, I don't work there. Just trying to help another corvette dude out. The article white does look nice, but my heart went with the Laguna blue with all that they could offer with it. They had both available the Sunday, yes I made a deal and bought on a Sunday, and went with blue.
PM me and we can be in touch. Tomorrow, man, rick Hendricks is an end of month dealership and they won't let you leave without a deal.

White with all those black vents is a killer color combo. Laguna blue is a pretty color too. In the end the blue would win out for me since white gets dirty very fast and blue has flake in it and looks great in the sun.

I am biased but the AW is just beautiful . i was gonna get NRB but too dark and too hard to up keep . Get the white and put some black or CF accents and you will not be disappointed . No matter what you do , you will have a beautiful ride . Good luck .....
