Default Electron Blue Z06 ?

Is it just me or is the Electron Blue Z06 a lot darker than the one offered for the Electron Blue Civic Si?

That would make sense since GM and Honda are not the same company. <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

It's just the name of a paint afterall. Simiarities are not to be expected from one manufacturer to the next.

BTW, the 2002 EB Z06's I've seen are absoultely stunning!

I just assumed they were both Dupont paints and since they had they had the same name I expected a brighter color.

My God I saw one at Cecil this weekend and it blew me away it was so damn nice. Looked incredible with the chrome Z06 rims as well!

Really the best looking vette out there in my opinion.

Andy, c'mon man. It was bad enough that you were faster than me when our F-Bodies were nearly stock! Now you get a C5?

it must have been a cloudy day cause those pics make it seem a lot brighter than the Z06 I saw.

Electron Blue was only available in 02 and 03. It changed to a darker LeMans Blue in 04 and continues for the new Z.

You confused me. You like a color but talk about the 06 Z. Since you are referencing the new Z do you mean that you like the LeMans Blue or is it the earlier Electron Blue. Either way they are both fabulous colors that pics do not do justice for. PS, you might want to fix your sig to on the 06 Z.

There are 3 different blue's. Nassau Blue, Electron Blue, and Lemans Blue. This is an E/B car (the fastest color)

MyWs62FaST4u, why did you bump up a 5 year old thread?
