Default Are you happy with the C7 colors?

I remember during an interview one of the GM guys saying people will be happy with the new C7 color pallet... It looks like mostly the same colors from the C6. There is a slogan on the C7 website that says "enemy of the same". If thats true then why not a lot of new colors?

I like the Torch Red and Arctic White.. And i will like to see what the new Laguna Blue looks like in person...



I think it would have looked good with a new white diamond or pearl white, orange or bright green kinda like Synergy Green. Heck maybe even bring back Atomic Orange, that was a great color.

I dont know about that dark green. Maybe thats to please the guys on Top Gear.

I like the colors. I personally cant wait to see the Night Race blue on the C7. Might be my choice with either red interior or the camel.

The Black helps offset a lot of the vented tail light design for the people that dont really like the new rear end.

2 blues, 2 reds, white, black, silver, yellow and an added green...There's a color for nearly everyone that would pine "why did they eliminate this color?"...yet, there will still be those who feel like they were left out.

Maybe they should take a cue from Porsche and let you paint it whatever color you want as long as you're willing to pay for it.

Colors?? Forget color what will it take to perform better??
Wider tires, headers, with a fuel pump under the intake
how much trouble will it be to put on a blower with the
high compression the C-7's running.
I can see that getting to 650 rwhp will be expensive.

I would LOVE to be able to order one in the camaro's Synergy Green... that would look amazing with the new design.

agreed, need brighter colors, I like that they added green but dark colors don't really do it for me on this car.

I was hoping for a different yellow. Darker, deeper.

I still want to see GM go with a Lambo colored Orange. Havn't been too amazed by the orange shades they have used the last few years.
