You're right, it isn't exactly the same.
The Caddy "sparkles" when it's clean and in direct sunlight.



BTW, love this pic.

Around 400 GS's 200 zo6 and 100 ZR1's were lucky enough to be covered in that magic. Zo6 below




Carbon flash metallic
I think that's a GS, targa and fender gills.

I agree with you. I almost picked it for my last V. Also wondered how easy or hard it would be to match in case of the inevitable trip to the body shop for something big or small. Ended up with black raven with black/saffron interior. Beautiful car. Wish I had kept it.

I liked the carbon flash on my Stingray and know what to expect. To me the CFZ ground effects match was a no brainer.
