Do any other GM vehicles have this same color just under a different name? I haven’t seen this in real life yet and would like to before I place my order. Same with the riptide blue metallic, does it go by a different name too?

If you would include your location, one of us might reach out for a showing.

Almost all 2024 Chevy products have Hypersonic as a color option under a different name, likely 23 MY and other GM products too but I didn't cross reference that far.

From my research there are colors that are “close” but HSG is unique to the C8.

was finally able to see one today at a dealer in Tulsa. Was soooo close to the spec I wanted but was a 1LT and I want 2LT and it was a coup not HTC. 2 of the main things that aren’t changeable lol.

Default 2024 Z06 Coupe


Received 2024 Z06 late December. Parked as it’s in Western MA. Equipped with CCB’s, Jake C8R racing stripes, red engine intake, red line darker grey wheels, extra carbon fiber interior and exterior options, two roofs, alcantara interior extras, 3LZ (and customer shaped dashboard cover to minimize long term dash delamination problem), front lift. Waiting for Speedway Composites engine X brace, Scrape Armor radiator screens, and adding center wicker bill to fill in rear spoiler. Have to decide about retained original wheels.

Incorrect, you can look up the paint codes. People argued for months when I said the same thing before the 70th was dropped and the pearl white was noted, but in the end, it came to light it's the same color. 😉

Got a source? I remember looking up the paint code back in 2021 and found no other cars with it. Even now, still don't.

Well f***. I guess it helps if I look up the right color doesn't it. The last time I look at color swatches in the system instead of double crossing with names. Carry on. Haha

Indeed it does! Very, very subtle, but there, and very nice. A classy/classic color, in my opinion. Goes well with a tan interior.

Please ref the pic below. It’s a screen shot that ( I thought ) I captured from this site several days ago. Now I’m not so sure.

I’d like to do something very similar for my build and would like to get more info on this car regarding wheels & hood. Anyone recognize if & know the owner? I thought I could get the hood graphic & wheels as part of the build but they do not show in the visualizer. Any help would be appreciated.

That's a Z06, you can build it exactly the same. I've recreated it, click the link.

I saw on one of Conti's video's someone is making those rear fender Jake decals for a Stingray, anyone know where you can get them?

Very cool. Thx for this! I’m going for an Eray so I’m guessing it won’t be available for the E.

WOW you're right, there are not as many appearance options for the ERay and the wheel options are all the 5 spoke. That's a bummer! Way more appearance options on the Stingray and Z06.

Wow. Thx for this. I guess I missed that it’s a Z06. Wish I could get the same build on an ERay.
