the chevy website seems to show up with a bit of blue in it, is that what it looked like in person? i know they have to keep changing the colors around, but i sure do wish they still had cyber grey. that is what my C6 Z06 was...

Love the Shadow Grey color. I just can't seem to get by a couple of other things. For example, after seeing numerous ZR1's in person, the front fender side vents are hideously bulky. They do not flow. Flame away. I have a fire retardant suit on.

the thread is about COLOR not your opinion of the ZR. Go back to your Heavy Hellcat.

Very close to Watkins, when I saw it in BG last April, a shade darker, seemed to have more metallic in it is my take

I did give my opinion regarding the color. It's outstanding. So I threw in another opinion about the bulky snap on/stick on vents...get over it. Yep, I own a beautiful B5 HC. You failed to mention what else I own. A beautiful Arctic White Z51 M7 Vert. There isn't any bias against the Chevrolet Corvette if that's what you're insinuating.

Why introduced a "NEW" gray that's easily mistaken for W.G.? I mean, why bother? Just keep the old one till demand slows then introduce the new shade that's different enough to decipher without being side by side with the old. Steel cities, spiral, shark, um, help me out here.

I give GM credit for functionality, and Super Car performance. Way to go, GM!

That ZR1 in gray is WGG isn't it?

on the Chevy site it's not doing shadow GRAY metallic any favors..



Top is shark gray middle is WGG and bottom is the new Shadow Gray... idk what to think about that?
