He got stuck on the lawn, haha


>Would be nice if there were a grille designed in conjunction with a vented hood, similar to the look of the LaFerrari
From the renderings I saw, this will be on the Z06&ZORA(ZR1) with a frunk-delete.

These new designers like the light colors reminds them of the skiddles they ate as kids.

All the indoor pics you are seeing is Elkhart. The touring car is Elkhart and the reveal car was Elkart.

I would have spec'd yellow calipers if they were still Velocity Yellow. The new green/highlighter yellow brake caliper is not for me.

I think it's usually called "Baby Blue"
Like for a newborn son.

I like the Rapid blue better in the shade, no direct sunlight with the high wing or no spoler, black wheels and side color body scoops (no blavk detail on them)

Well, Mexico and Riviera Blue have been around on Porsches since the early-70's, and Grabber Blue has been a Ford color offered off and on since 1969. I don't think it's a "here today, gone tomorrow" color. Of course it will roll off the Corvette palette eventually, but it's not a "flash-in-the-pan" color as you allude too.
