If true, probably replacing Zeus Bronze is my guess. I think they might go for a more vibrant, exciting green than that, but who knows.

LimeRock on the 2014 C7 was just too dark. Looked nice in really bright direct sun, looked black the rest of the time.

You can't make a car this edgy and exotic looking and then put colors from a funeral precession on it. Krypton Green or bust.

the 90痴 forever killed green on any Corvette...especially sports cars. Though not my cup of tea, this Porsche Green is the only way to go. I壇 bet $50 the C8 green will be closer to the Porsche than 2014 C7 Lime Rock Green.
