so far the best C8 colors i've seen
1. rapid blue
2. white
3. accelerate yellow.

love black but here in the sunny state 365 days a year it get's dirty-hot-hides the lines of the car (JMO)

By far my favorite color Chevy is offering ... If you don't like it, don't get it.

Love it!

As far as being a Porsche color, so is Black, White, Silver, and the endless parade of greys marched out regularly.

It's all personal preference.

Hate to say it but chrome would be better than black with a polished lip. Those wheels are easily the worst thing GM has ever designed next to maybe the Cadillac Cimarron.

Black with polished lip is bad but STILL no where as awful as chrome wheels. Sorry
There's a reason chevy did away with them.

I like it but does get a little close to the famous Ford GT color. I think the Rapid Blue just begs for a stripe package. White would be best (come on Chevy) but black stripes also look badass on it.
