Just thought I’d share a couple of pictures I took as we were passing by Bowling Green to Mammoth Cave.
We decided to stop in and I had hoped to see a few Z06’s, (maybe, hopefully one in Seawolf) in person finally, and was not disappointed.
There were two Z06’s and one E-Ray in Cacti Green.
Interestingly my Wife HATED Cacti in pictures, but she loved it in person and is insisting I get that color now.

Still patiently waiting for my name to come up with Furman. (In on 5/2020)

Cheers






Cheers.

Variety. Makes the hobby much more fun.

I for one could not bring myself to look at that car in my garage.

Of course. I also like the “Primer Grey” I tend to gravitate more towards pastels or flat colors.

Hopefully for you, Cacti will still be a color when you are able to order yours. That way it is at least an option for you.

I cannot see Cacti being a color for more than one model year.

Just a hunch, I think it may be one of those colors that sticks around for a few years.
But if not, Sea Wolf it is!

You caught our car right after she was placed on the boulevard in spot 1. Picture two shows our Z06 before the Jake Stripes were added.

I loved the Cacti Artemis car as well....and thought that they looked very very sharp.

(But I would do that on my second C8 Z06 if I had the garage space to keep two!

Thanks for taking the time to share your visit.

I agree that Cacti has staying power. Can't wait to hear the numbers of takers. Should be much stronger than Caffeine and likely higher than Zeus Bronze.

Maybe. I assume we will find out when colors are announced at the Bash. Sea Wolf is an interesting color.

In my opinion, interior colors and wheel colors can change the look of any color.

I saw seawolf in person at my PPF shop. The car was just dropped off and kinda dirty, but it looks like there is a small amount of tiny metallic flake in it and it wasn't a simple pastel. I can't get into Cacti from the pics, but if you saw it in person and liked it, that's great.

I went to the 2022 bash for the Z06 presentation and to walk the parking lot looking at various color combinations. I was glad I did. Saw a combo that was high on my list and it didn't work for me.


@international blue Congrats on getting your car.
