I'm not a yellow guy (my C7 is black on black), but I love how/that you guys and gals love yellow.

And great pics!

Love the way the black and yellow contrast.


From the perspective of someone who doesn't have a yellow car, to the OP, I'd recommend having a nice contrast in your configuration. Black and yellow works pretty good, but I'd also have the interior compliment what you have on the exterior.

ZL-1 is correct - yellow can be addictive!

My first 'Vette was a 1995 Coupe in Admiral Blue and I loved that color. Then I saw a competition yellow C4 and knew I needed a Corvette in yellow. All since then have been yellow.

I still have my '08 coupe I'll be selling this spring in Velocity Yellow but I now like the CRY better. Good luck with your choice - I bet you'll be happy with whatever color you end up choosing!

At the shop after getting the GM Jake hood stinger put on the car



Only "mod" to my car is the hood stinger - ended up getting 3rd place out of 34 C7s that entered the all Corvette show in Issaquah, WA.

This is my second Velocity Yellow corvette and I get a lot of compliments. I also have the gray interior nice and cool during the summer.

Just saw the updates on this post and thought I'd join in and introduce myself to the C-7 Forum with my new (in January) 2019 Racing Yellow Grand Sport. I love it and so does everyone who sees it! A lady at the gas station asked if she could take a photo of it! I still have my silver C-5 Coup but mostly drive my Yellow GS. At 84 now I'm gonna put as many miles on it as I can. LOL

First yellow car I've ever owned. Get a ton of positive comments from the public at large. Based on my experience, you can't go wrong with CRY.

Yellow is the best color. Velocity yellow is the one to get though, pops much more than corvette racing yellow. Just my opinion.

Just my opinion and I hope no one gets offended but I think yellow is perhaps the worst color on a car. To each his own, but if you’re going to say it loud get red. Yellow strikes me as such a crass statement. Again, no offense. Everyone has different taste. But yellow? Yuck!

Both of my Z06’s have been yellow. And my next one probably will be too. It’s a color that gets noticed and complimented on quite a bit.

Some very nice looking yellow Vettes. Nothing wrong with a yellow car - sure makes the car stand out in a crowd.

For me, yellow and blue cars don't cut it. But if you like a color that most people don't have, yellow is THE color to have. Carmax list it has the 9th most favorite color @ .090% of all cars sold for 2017 - 2018. My local dealers last C7 was yellow.

Just a concern over when it comes time to sell.

Not being negative folks... Just listing the facts.

ENJOY your yellow car and be safe.....
