Default Meet the Royal Purple C7


There’s nothing quite as royal as a purple C7 – especially one bearing a Lingenfelter Performance badge.

After all, we are talking about the award-winning new Corvette liveried in a color associated with royalty, and one of the most respected companies in the world when comes to high-performance Corvettes.

This custom Stingray, inspired by the Royal Purple-sponsored Indy Townsend Bell-KV Racing car, was designed as part of the recent announcement that Royal Purple will now be the official lubricant of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE).

Interesting, but in that lighting the car looks black, no?

That's great. I thought this was going to be a repeat of this thread: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...chevrolet.html.

LOL


Cheers.

I liked using Royal purple on my previous cars. If Lingenfelter can use these on their cars, can we use it on our normal Stingrays?

This is the inspiration for the paint scheme. Frankly, I don't think it works on the C7.

Well, let's hope things don't go flying off of the car like that.


Cheers.

Meh

I was hoping more for an actual purple C7.

I may be in the minority, but I have always loved the black rose metallic of the C4.

I'm sorry to see Rainbow Brite threw up all over the front end.

Based on several oil analysis tests Royal Purple is not "up there".
