They could paint it pink with purple pok-a-dots as long as it has the LS7 and a 6 speed. I'd still drive it just because it can smoke almost anything on the road.

Anyways, here are the pics (attached)
would look fantastic on a Vert !

The car looks badass, but that isn't the actual color. That photo has been photoshopped to make the color darker and have more contrast. Their attempt to make the car less feminine I suppose. For examples:

Nine Ball, get over it. The car looks a lot different depending on the light levels. Black is the best color but I needed a color that was daily driver friendly. Car gets a lot of attention everywhere I go. Can't say I noticed that much attention paid to my black o4 Z.

I really like the JSB.

Color choice was very tough for me but I felt that yellow suited it the best so that's what I went with.

I would leghump a Jetstream Blue Z06 all day long.

Bud Chevrolet in Ohio has one right now that they will sell for $5K below sticker. I've been seriously thinking about putting a couple of the horses in my stable up for sale in order to have that one parked in my garage.

That aside, I'd take an Atomic Orange first.

I like it, but I like blue vettes in general. All of the ones I have had but two have been blue. I really like the quasar blue on the 90-93 C4's.

Reminds me of Nassua blue. I'm also much more to partial to electron blue. Dark sports cars look the best always.

White Z06? No way!

Its very similar to Nassau Blue and a little bit on the light side, but after seeing one in person at the Chevy Vette Fest in Chicago it looked pretty sweet and brought the lines out of the Z06 well, and I agree it looks a lot better on C6 Z than C6 coupe (with chrome wheels of course)!

Now that LEMANS BLUE on Barret Jackson yesterday on that ZR1 that sold for $1,000,000 was really ******* cool, and to bad it was a 1 off color and made specifically for the 1st ZR1 sold (and no other LEMANS BLUE ZR1 will be made)!
