Default Jet Stream Blue guys, c'mon in!

Looking to purchase a used JSB C6Z. The closest one at a dealership, is 2 hours away, and closed on weekends?!?

What do you guys think of the color? throw up some pics, comments and everything.

the runner up is Cyber Grey

Atomic Orange for the win baby! But JSB is definitely my 2nd choice.

lol

I like the Orange, I just don't think I could buy one!

The owner of the car I'm looking at says all of the Vette gatherings he goes to, he always hears "I love that color" and "I wish I would have bought that color" etc etc

Of course, he owns the car, so I have to take it with a grain of salt, but I believe him.

I already own too many red vehicles and I want something to pop, I think this would do it.

But how light of a blue is it? I guess I don't want a baby or powder blue.

That's a tough choice. In my opinion, JSB is a great sunny day color while Cyber Gray is perfect for that sleek phantom-in-the-night look. You honestly can't go wrong with any color on a Z06.

The dealer closest to me has 5 of them outside in Blue, Black, Red, Yellow, and Orange and my girlfriend and I went to check them out on a nice night a few weeks ago. We stood in front of them and literally could not pick a color, they were all gorgeous in their own right and reason. Another dealer has Z06s in Black, Cyber Gray, and Red and again they all look amazing for different reasons.

If you want to check out Cyber Gray, take a look at Tony's Z06 (member name Nine Ball). Hes put aftermarket HRE rims on it, but it looks phenomenal. Heres a thread with links to his pictures: Cyber Gray

Remember that metallic colors will show up much lighter in a picture than they really are. The JSB is a very deep sky blue..not baby blue at all. It looks really good during the day and even better at night because it darkens a bit except where the direct light hits the metallic.

Really cool color. You will like JSB. IMO Atomic Orange is too light DSOM was much better.

I saw that car over on the corvette forum. VERY SWEET. But the one I'm looking at hasn't even done a burn out...until I get my hands on it

yeah right. I haven't done a burnout in mine either

IMO JSB is a pretty cool color in person. Id get Atomic orange as my first choice though.

You guys are CRAZY. best color is BLACK for sure haha Then i'd say White after that the two above my post. Too bad the only white Z06 you'll see is either custom or a Ron Fellows to the O/P see the color in person and let us know what YOU think. i think it's a gorgeous color blue and if i was to completly change the color of my Vette it would likely be that color or Pearl white

JSB next to Monterey Blue (Custom color). JSB is a 3 stage so the light really plays with the color. I would use some black accents (wheels, halo, etc...) to give it some contrast.

So you are buying a new one then with the mueseum delivery?

That one for sale is awesome, plus a low price. A couple of more years and hopefully I will buy one.

I ended up finding a 08, with around 2,000 miles on it for almost $50k!!

Hope to have a deposit on it by the end of the week.
