I like it.

I wouldn't order it though. Its a bit like a Caddy color to me.

Zeus bronze with the natural interior looks stunning under the show car lights..

thats a color that should be seen in natural lighting to determine if you want to own it.

i know myself and although I like the sophisticated and elegant look especially with the bronze wheels...id have to admire someone else's choice of that color...

i think for short term ownership especially for those who lease vehicles...that zeus bronze would be exciting to own...

i voted on the poll that I like it...i just wouldnt buy it...lease maybe for 3 years but purchase...id pass.

I like it.
My questions would be:
Pewter/ gold OEM wheels or not?
Tan interior or two tone black/ tan or solid black interior?
Anyway, all look good to me.

Might be because folks, like me, want to see it in person vice just pics. EG a friend of mine posted to FB his build with ZB, one pic I didn't care for the other was very good.

Personally, I feel like this color would get old really quick.

I like it but I like Silver the best so it's not a color I would consider buying.

Love it will be ordering it, as long as you keep it waxed it will pop for years to come. Zeus Bronze with Bronze aftermarket wheels elegance at it's finest not the typical which is what I prefer. My current Vette is DSOM which didn't get rave reviews when it came out, lasted two years cancelled then brought back on the C7 then cancelled again. Still love it and it still gets praise as a beautiful color.

So, I hope you voted No, I like the color too, but would never order or buy a Corvette that color.

Thanks for the pic. My wife now wants that exact interior/exterior color combo for her car.
