I agree! My C6 was LeMans Blue and I love the darker blue colors. I will say the Laguna Blue catches your eye a bit more coming down the road though and looks great in direct sunlight.

This is very true. I spec'ed one out....very basic: 2LT, black rims...that's about it. Came to 74K. ?!?! There are leftover 2016 Z06's around this price

yeah. but not not 2LT. and they are a year old already. idk i think GS vert 2LT is at least 10k less than a Z LEFT OVER.... so yeah, there's a $69k 16Z but its a 1LT and a stick. neither of which i would be satisfied with. just my $.02

Doubtful. The cars with NPP on average haven't pulled out any more power on a dyno than those without. Not surprising really when you consider CAFE because it isn't like they can leave efficiency on the table. Most people figured up front that the cars actually had the same power despite the claimed numbers and the result was expected.

Bottom line it might be louder since that can be had without hurting CAFE but more power, very unlikely.

The Admiral Blue is quite different in person vs. web photos, I was surprised by that.

Ha, have you seen the economy recently...
