Default Any Hi-Res photos of Lime Rock Green
Am partial to green sports cars, my 95 and 96 Vette's were Polo Green and my wife's 08 Jaguar was called Botanical Green when it looked like a modern British Racing Green


If LRG is as nice as the Jag's green my wife will sue me if I don't buy our C7 in LRG.

The only two cars produced for photography are the Cyber Gray and the Torch Red. No full body Lime Rock Green cars are out to be photographed. You likely won't see cars with the two new colors before the Bash in April.

If it is a hunter green like that then UGLY!!!!!! Based on the color name, it should be a green like the Viper green.

If I decide to get a C7, it will be this color. I have to have a convertible though.
Even though I like the outside of the car, I am undecided yet on the interior.
I don't think I like the gauge cluster, or the fact that the passenger is alienated
like the early 90's Vettes. Time will tell, but I do like this color.

Saddle (or whatever they are calling something similar) looks really good with green.

Sports cars are about the driver, not the passenger.

That is true, I would like my wife to feel as she is actually with me
when we are in it.

If she's in the car with you, then she is right next to you.

I'm sorry but this is quite possibly THE LAMEST reason I've read so far for not liking something about this car.

Many would pay dearly for optional individual cones of silence

Not a big fan of green but that color makes the car look very very classy.

The C7 isn't even in production yet but we already know which color will have the fewest sales and cause the fastest depreciation.... Lime Rock Green.

I disagree. I have seen C3s and C4s in green that looked great! Especially with the saddle interior.

Although I don't agree, I didn't say anything about how it will look. I said it will not sell well and it will depreciate fast.
