I was just thinking how nice that Blue might look with grey stripes,and there you are. Really like this combo Some wheels in the same grey might be nice as well

I'm a fan of this blue, I hope they keep it long enough for the Z06 variant to use it.

Not Loving silver stripes on that Rapid Blue or with the carbon fiber roof... Maybe if it had silver wheels and body color roof... The stripes are just out there all alone... The silver stripes look great on Arctic White... Just me...

Beautiful color, i'd want the high wing on the back in black color and a solid RED interior.. and no stripes for me

Nice to see body color mirrors, already tired of all the black mirrors on just about every car so for


OP did you notice the interior color on this one?

Black with gray stitching and blue seat belt.

It definitely looks more "blue" than a "powder blue" in person, more like a soft blue...if that makes sense.

Nice Rapid Blue car!

Rapid Blue was actually the very first color option I liked the most when GM first released the C8 color options, and that's the color I picked and played with on the C8 Visualizer to build my car - my first choice is exactly like this one here, a base model without the Z51 spoiler in the back, as this configuration looks very clear and sharp. This was my original first color choice for the car, and the orange was the second color choice - I really liked the orange convertible with the grey color seats shown in the GM ads video with an open top vert driving along the ocean coast.

But after someone said this RB and orange colors are too much Micky Mouse alike or Lego colors (as well as for the Orange, saying it's too close to orange color taxi cabs), I went to a local Chevy dealer looked at the C7 orange color, and it indeed looks like the local Orange Cab taxi. So I chickened out from both of these colors and went to Silver...

I like a color like Electron Blue or Laguna Blue better, but Rapid Blue is growing on me.

Great pics.

That rapid blue is really growing on me, when i first saw it i didnt care for it, almost glowing... but the more i see the more i like.

so many colors, im going for orange - i think, but white looks so classy, black looks so batmobile, both blues look great, love them all...

Agreed. Perhaps a black stripe on Rapid Blue would work better. Or white, were that an option.
