I like Carbon Flash as well, but unfortunately it is no more.

I don't care if an A6 is quicker real sports cars have manuals!!! And I am sure that the book that has been referenced so often in this thread was written before the VY was released or the book would have had a different title. :)

This is a great pic and those are great wheels that would look even better on my YELLOW Corvette! :cool: Which wheels are those?

Uh, Supersonic Blue?

JAsVette 04-17-2014 12:56 PM

Definitely personal preference but I'm so happy that I got my favorite Vette color, Magnetic Red. Speaking from experience, even if you own the car of your dreams, if it's not your favorite color you will regret it.

Yea - Supersonic Blue was worth the extra - I think was $390 CDN - when I ordered mine in 2011.

Obviously Carlisle Blue would be out of the question.

Real man colors only please.

Begin...

Late last year at a local dealer's show I saw a Carlisle Blue (think it was a ZO6) with a white stripe on the hood---------it was next to a white ZO6 with a blue stripe-----and those two cars had more people admiring them and saying how fantastic looking they were-----I thought they looked GREAT. Would have taken either one in a heart beat----both were striking and everyone took at least a 2nd look. I never saw so many heads snap and turn to look at a car before----men and woman alike! But to answer your question--black is probably the one you want (with blackened exhausts)----I have yellow myself.

I don't like showy colors on my cars, muted or toned down colors ftw, gray or silver ftw. Black is too much of a pain in the ass to keep clean imo. The reason i don't care for bright colored cars is mostly due to the fact that i drive my cars a bit...fast and don't want to attract any attention ><

Very smart....Silver is the fastest color anyway. Silver bullet! :yesnod:

If you have a lot of time on your hands and love constant maintenance? You can't beat black.

Red is always a go-to color...

Obviously for real men, Velocity Yellow manual transmission is really the only way to go. Inferno Orange would be a close second.
