Default [PICS]Carlisle Blue vs Supersonic Blue vs Jetstream Blue!

I know these comparison pictures are always popular so I knew this needed to get up as soon as I could get the cars together.

Here is comparison of the 3 last C6 blues; Carlisle Blue, Supersonic Blue and Jetstream Blue.

The last picture is a Carlisle Blue convertible with a blue top that I just got in.

Please feel free to post your feedback!

Tough choice. JetStream followed by cb, then ssb. Jsb is the unmistakeable blue between the three.

Cb is not as bad as I first thought but jsb is my fav. (I'm partial)

I kinda like it. Looks like a silvery-blue and I like Machine/Blade Silver Zs.

But I need to see it in person.

Thanks Dave.

P.S. Isn't the Vert Supersonic Blue, not Carlisle Blue?

FYI - I made a post before about people needing to see Carlisle Blue in person before killing it. Now, my team up at Carlisle is telling me that the Carlisle Blue, so far, is a huge hit! Especially the convertible with the blue top.

I love JSB. CB ain't all bad, if you think of it as a blueish silver.

I like all three. Favorite? Well, I voted with my wallet on SSB and am very happy with the choice.

JSB for me. I looked at SSB before I bought. Didn't like the lavender/purple hues and in some lights cant tell what color it is. JSB is a nice bright blue but in the evening has a rich dark blue look in some lights.

The supersonic blue just doesn't do anything for me. I've seen it in person at my local dealer and - meh. No offense, of course to anyone who likes it and/or has it. That's why they make chocolate and vanilla.

The Carlisle blue is starting to grow on me. I'll have to see it in person.

Not a huge fan of any of those colors, but they are nice. Still my favorite remains Lemans Blue

Corvette definitely has a real problem producing a nice blue.

Supersonic Blue is about the only blue to consider since they stopped making LMB.If I want light blue,I'll buy a Toyota or some girly car or something.And SSB only looks good on the wide body cars anyway.

Saw the CB at Carlisle and was surprised how good it looked in person.
