This question isn't apropos anything in particular, but it's just something that popped into my head. Does anyone own, or has anyone ever seen, a black C8 with orange racing stripes? My 2022 C8 is the inverse of this, that is, it is Amplify Orange with black racing stripes, but my IDEAL Corvette is black. My 1991 Vette was black, when I still lived in Chicago (where I was born and raised), but a black car here in Las Vegas isn't really practical in our summer heat, nor because of how a black car (of which I've had several) seems to show every speck of dirt or dust, again, something that we have in vast quantities in Southern Nevada. But the orange stripe thing just popped into my mind, and I'm wondering if such a car exists, or if anyone owns or has seen one. Just curious.
I have one in black and added stingers to the front hood in orange with silver along with C8-R logos from Mike at vettestripes.com. I also put a pair of orange pinstripes on the rear (no pic of that).
My next order will be the same or very similar (looking at carbon flash metallic or, perhaps, a blue-black metallic if available for the 2025 MY).
Last week, a fellow driving by my place stopped and chatted about the color combo. He showed me some pics of a custom car he was building in the Batman theme (black with orange accents).
Oh my!!!! That is EXACTLY the car I was talking about in my first post... Gorgeous machine!!! That photo shows precisely why I absolutely LOVE black cars...nothing like a a perfectly clean, polished, shining black Corvette, and those orange stripes...Wow!!! Thanks for posting!

While I have no desire to own a black car (previous ownership of a black car taught me to not do it again), that black with orange stripe car does look really good.
