consensus? I was unaware there was consensus on SS blue and JS blue....it's a matter of personal taste. Not a matter of the forum choosing a color for someone...is it?

The JSB is vivid in the sun and more subdued in the shade. Lighting can make a noticeable difference. I've never seen SSB in person, so I can't tell you much about it. It's no doubt more subtle than JSB. You really need to see both colors in person to compare them and figure out which you prefer.

Just my humble .02 cents' worth but next to JSB the Supersonic blue looks gray"ish" to me.

Like the others said, this is truly a personal choice.

PS All else being equal, we all know Velocity Yellow ZO6s are faster

The SS blue looks close in color to the '60s Z06's & I saw one with factory grey wheels that looked really, really good.

The JSB is the best (because that's what I have).

I would have gotten Jet Stream Blue if it had been available. One of the local cruise in participants has one - it is splendid.

Then again, I could not resist getting a four year old VY ZO6 with 276 miles.
