American muscle 💪. That GT500 with 760HP kicks ***! I'm fortunate to have both American icons.

She is finally mine! Drove the C6 up the museum to pick her up, and my son and his wife drove the C6 home. It was a great experience at the museum and an amazing weekend. The only thing better than 1 Vette is two!

Two different neighbors came by today for their first looks at my newly acquired HGM. Independently each asked what you call that shade of green. Love it.

I love how Hypersonic Gray gleams in the sunlight! It’s like two totally different colors between sunlight and clouds/ darkness.

There was some discussion in another thread regarding HG appearing green. Seen probably a dozen in the flesh in about every light setting imaginable and been going through photos here and fail to see any green.
Am I going color blind?

Check out 3rd post above yours parked in front of Corvette museum...And there are also others within this thread...HG seems to have slight green undertones depending on light...

while my HGM most definitely trends green, I’m not ready to name it Kermit anytime soon…think of the green as the vermouth in a perfectly dry martini…

Let's not split hairs and just say if you prefer metallic Gray it's gray and if you prefer green then it's Green.

I've seen HG with adrenalin red interior and it looks amazing and that's what I ordered along with edge red calipers.

I have HGM and it definitely has a green hue to it in certain lighting. It is a very rich color and must see in person.

And it will look amazing...my HGM has edge red calipers too. They look fantastic - here they are, under my base oem wheels which are behind my newly powder-coated base wheels which are in front of my Hypersonic Green Gray Metallic car.

Definitely has a hint of green depending on lighting. My wife and 10 year old daughter ( having no prior knowledge of this subject) noticed it day 1.

I’d get some edge green calipers to
match the frog green paint. Also put some huge eye ***** on the LED’s up front. Maybe some lips on the grill. I think HGM is beautiful. Green or green what does it matter? It’s just fine! BTW I did not get HGM but not because I didn’t like it!! I hate frogs. 😂 🐸

Poor green. Unloved and misunderstood. It’s like the caffeine metallic of colors.
