Default Cacti green is total class!

Just took delivery of my Cacti Z06 today 🏎️ If you were on the fence or afraid to take a chance on this color, don’t be. I wasn’t sure I made the right choice until she showed up to my driveway today. Couldn’t be happier, best C8 color EVER! Mods, please start a Cacti Green color thread.

Very beautiful and, yes, very classy. I think Chevrolet’s marketers are trying to take this brand “up market” with the more sophisticated colors such as Cacti, Silver Flare, or the Zeus Bronze in the recent past, moving away from the hot rod image and more into the realm of the Porsche or other higher-priced cars.

Looks great! As you say classy! Glad GM picked a new color that was not another flashy addition for a big car. Your Z06 makes a big enough statement about performance.

Feel the same for my E-Ray at 3000. Had enough Red Vettes and Cacti was my choice as well. Those wide tires and power are statement enough.

Felt that way when I built my ProStreet Rod 23 years ago. The set back 8.2 Liter BB puts 53% of it weight on the ridged TCI chassis' adjustable 4 bark link rear suspension. Thought aggressive enough with it's tubbed 420 metric section width tires so subtle Silver with dark silver flames is statement enough. Still winning trophies at Shows.

Chassis painted same silver with dark silver on moving suspension parts.
