I have had a lot of different color cars, but this will be my 1st ever red car, I let the wifey make the color selection on this one...….. its starting to grow on me. This one is only temporary until the Z06 or ZR1 comes out, so I can live with red for a little while....

Congratulations! Colors are as personal as anything on a car, but my first Corvette was red and I absolutely loved it. It was a color that NEVER got old to me, it always looked current and right.

Yes I agree, some colors can get old fast. I love the Zeus Bronze color, initially was my # 1 choice, but then I felt that it would be one of those colors for me that I would not be happy with after only 6-8 weeks. No offense meant to the folks who are getting ZB, I love it, but just had to change my mind on that one. I hate Orange, never ever thought I would have an Orange car, but when I 1st saw the ZR1 in Sebring Orange I had to have it, and I still love it......

Wow-great looking car. Your wife did good. I am really liking that high spoiler. I think it adds to the styling of the car. Makes the rear end pop. Stripes are a plus.

Let me know when you get it. I'll make a drone video for you. I'm heading to New Orleans about once a month. I guess it will be about 3 months before you get it, right? Not trying to make you feel bad; I really do not know. See my other thread about drone video in Huntsville, AL.
