Default Lemans Blue is perfect!

https://www.gh-motors.com/inventory/chevrolet/corvette/113413/






I don't think I dislike any color Z06, even VY has become stunning. However, this car is absolutely beautiful. Ad states previous owner has a performance shop in NV. Only thing that could possibly make it even better , is the 2 tone interior. Anyone else love the Lemans Blue as much as I? There's another one on Car Gurus with black wheels ,but these gray, dark metallic colored style wheels look great on any color.

Lemans Blue is a very nice color. I think Victory Red and Jetstream Blue are better though :P

Orange is the only color I have a hard time adjusting my eyes to.

This car is local to me and the seller is a personal friend of mine. He's a true car enthusiast and also runs the OnGrid track organization here in Cali. I've seen and driven this car and it is incredibly capable and makes my stock '09Z look and feel boring, (to be expected). If you can look past the miles, this is the one to have.

saw it when it was first posted and have went back several times. There's a bunch of gorgeous Z06s for sale right now but this one makes me drool lol. Hope to find another one just like it when I'm ready.

Be careful doing that...that would be a dupe.
(C6) Official Lemans Blue Thread - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion

But yeah I agree. LMB was ALWAYS my favorite color. In fact, I sold my silver 07 to get an LMB 06. Couldn't be happier. I love my car...when she's not being needy.

It truly is a beautiful colour. Especially when it’s been paint corrected and ceramic coated it looks like an endless deep pool of blue.




Here’s my 8K mile garage ornament.

Mine's just a lowly base model getting widebody'd as parts (and paint) allow, but yes Lemans blue is gorgeous!

No, I'm the original owner, custom ordered in early September 2005 and took delivery in mid October. Bone stock with the exception of Skip Shift, Exhaust Flap Control and Michelin Pilot Super Sports (stock 275 front and Viper spec 345 rear).

We have been on 2 Hot Rod Power Tours with the car (2006 and 2011) and taken a few laps around Indy during 2011 Tour. Currently have 14,000 miles, 6,000 of which were the 2 HRPTs. I've had a few people offer to buy it in recent months, but unless I can replace it with a C7-ZR1 or C8-Z06 I think I'll hold onto it for now.


BTW
Any of you guys know where I can buy a replacement under hood label? It is on the passenger side of the Radiator Support and was wiped out with one of the cleaning products I use. It does nto appear that they are available from GM any longer.
