Default No LOVE for Velocity Yellow C7's?

I have seen several pics. of deliveries here, but NONE were VY. Man, a VY with black wheels, yellow calipers, carbon roof, and carbon flash mirrors and rear spoiler, with the Kalahari interior would look SOOOO sexy... I am lusting for one...

I was thinking the same thing! Especially since 25% of the initial ones were all yellow as shown by the airplane shot, and not a single one delivered or in stock that I have seen ANYWHERE!.

Let's start a rumor that they all need to be repainted due to a painting defect!

Having previously owned the below-pictured VY C6, IMHO that color has a lighter/brighter "feel" (not physical obviously) when driving it than any other car I heave ever owned.

I am NOT a yellow car person, but the VY Stingray as you described is totally badass in person! See my "Stingrays in the Desert" post/article for a picture of one. That and white are my two fav's - which is saying a lot for me to put that over Laguna Blue and Night Race Blue!

Here you go -- forum member ZL-1's car is stunning. Pictures just don't do the Stingray justice.

If only the yellow stitching carried over from 2013 to 2014, I might be considering yellow. But DAMN ZL-1's car looks good!

Agree with everything except id do black interior. Yellow on the C7 is sooo sexy but if it was me personally id have to have more than a stock car to rock yellow. Now I think all the loud exotic feeling colors will match perfectly with the ZOwhatever LOL! The lighter colors do work perfectly on the C7 LS1LT1! Look up white and silver!

Looks really good in VY, I really like it without the big back spoiler, makes the lines even better.



Just a slight drop and better set of wheels would make it perfect.
