I say you spread the wealth around Tony and share a car or 2 with me. Thats the obama way isn't it. LOL

Anyway, I knew it was just a matter of time after our talk at the shootout. You picked the best color combo out there thats for sure with the orange coming in a close second. Very nice car man. I too am getting very tired of driving a truck every day...hmmmmm.

OH..I showed the wife the car and she loved it..said the color looked like a shark. I may have just found the color to put on my C3 Pro-touring "shark" body style.

Good choice Tim. This color is amazing in person, it has a very nice royal blue metal flake in it. You have to be up close to notice it. You can sort of see it in this photo, ahead of the front wheel where the camera flash hit it. It looks like a slight blue tint up there.



here is a close-up of the color, notice all the tonal changes and colors it can make:

The only thing that is steering me away from that color (aside from already having two cars in the stable with similar appearance, my daily driver Honda and my wife's Lexus), is the ability to match it if you were to ever have a collision. I scraped the paint on my C6 less than a week after bringing it home. I guess I'm just accident prone so I need to avoid the metallic colors.

Very nice car, Exactly what I want once I can sell my C-5.
As per the other post above, I assume you would be a Republican.

I'm neither Republican or Democrat. I think both parties suck and should take the best aspects of both and be more realistic about things. I'm liberal about social issues, but I don't like the govt messing with my income tax. I think lazy people should NOT be rewarded.

The less competition the better, works to my advantage.

I agree but the lesser of 2 evils is not Obama!!
I love the color of the car and would love just a plain Z-51 car same color with heads cam.

Ok back to the topic, I love that color. Man that with some nice wheels with a fat ploished lip and color matched center would look sweet.

Definitely a great looking car Tony. As always you have a good eye for those things. I just ask that if you go give Larry a ride, give me a call so I can come meet you guys, and check it out in person as well!

The only thing I like about the ZR1 is the carbon fiber accents and brakes. I can do both on a Z06. After seeing a few ZR1s in person here at SEMA, I actually prefer the Z06 appearance. That clear hood lens is cheesy in person.

That's the biggest turn off for me. It's very tacky. I love the rest of the car(aside from having a fixed roof ). Very tacky.

Congrats, great color choice, the rims still need to grow on me, as I think the C6Z rims are perfection-no lip, no bling!!!
Enjoy it, you've earned it!!!
