Default Can I handle yellow?

Hey guys,

Looking at a MY z06. It looks awesome from afar but kind of alarming up close... Anyone else have these thoughts? I was dead set on silver but in comparison silver looks bland but it may fit my personality better.

In my opinion Millennium Yellow is the best colour for any C5, but especially the Z06. I would not trade my MY car for any other.

I have two buddies with anniversary Z06s. Yellow. Not Lemon Yellow.
I always tell them that they can get some gas money by taking fares at the airport.
I was looking for a Electron blue Z06. Got a Flame red one instead. Love it. The beauty is more than pigment deep.

in my opinon a school bus is yellow, and a corvette should have never been offered in that color, this is just my opinon, if you want yellow go for it!!!

The Corvette C5R was the fastest bus I've ever seen.

I searched for a MY Z for awhile before I got my QS Z. While the MY are I love my silver Z. The MY shows every single rock chip, nick, scratch, etc and magnifies it x10 while my silver masks them rather well. Plus the silver looks clean even when it's dirty unlike yellow....

Yellow is nice, but QS is nicer.

Swore I would never own a yellow car as far back as I can remember. When I saw my MY Z I changed my mind instantly. Love it.

Yellow is a bit too busy for me, I remember driving on the highway and saw a yellow dot in my mirror, It was a yellow Z06 and had to be like 1.5miles away just glistening in the sun

If you want an eye catcher, its definitely the car to get.
but with longtubes and cam, cops will probably know me by name

I personally think Electron Blue and Torch Red is the best colors an then Black

A z Is A z if you want one bad and its a good deal buy it. The car is what makes it the color is just an added bonus. Beggers can't be choosers. You will love the car no matter what color trust me. Thanks mike

I looked for MY till I found what I wanted, that's just me though. Here's a few pics of it about a year or more of having it.

I was dead set on a yellow z06 after I sold my 99 Black C5.. Black isawesome when its all washed up,, but its hell to keep clean and shows every piece of dust.. Plus I live in Texas,, Can you say hot!!.. Anyhow I changed my mine a bit when I saw the electron Blue.. For some reason that color really stood out and I was really torn between which to get.. yellow or the rare blue... It was a toss up.. I wound up with the Electron Blue... Sometimes I regret not getting the Millenium Yellow when I see one... wishy washy is me
