The new blue is growing on me. I would like to see Comp Grey wheels on one and I think it would look pretty good. I am not a big fan of chrome wheels like the one in the picture posted in this thread.

actually i would say the lemans blue in the 06-07 z06 is more in comparison with the electron blue than the jet stream.. ive seen both colors in person and the jetstream is much lighter than my car.

I dont know what I think... If i was dropping around $70-$80k on a new Z06 I wouldnt see myself considering the blue color very long...

I prefer white (GT1) car

I saw one when I looked at C6s, nice color, reminds me of Nassau Blue. I like the color but dont think I would own a car in that color.

just seen a jet stream blue on at the dealer, not a Z06 which I think makes the color better, but on a regular C6. Let me just say, fugly!!!! They should bring back the Sunset orange metallic and get rid of the atomic orange.

I would rock it.

Atomic Orange before it, but that would be the next choice. Then a White (Ron Fellows) edition.

Okay, I admit I'd drive the homo blue one before a yellow one any day. But, any other colors available are better than this blue and yellow.

I have to admit, that the color looked awful to me at first, then with time, it grew on me somewhat; but I still prefer the EB over the JSB. If and when I get one (non Z06), it will be Atomic Orange Metallic (or white) for me!

The Secret comment was hilarious!
