you don’t think something closer to this won’t outsell Cacti or the bronze or caffine?

Good to see the return of a normal yellow and Sebring orange.

I wonder what colors are going away now.

I literally just bought a Velocity Yellow C6 track project car and they fixed the yellow... man. A yellow Z07 would be my sweet spot, but I don't like multiple cars of the same color.

Hey @Hib Halverson ... Depending on how purple that Hysteria Purple is, are we planning another ZR1 and Barney? ;-)

I was really hoping for a bright exotic purple and we got another muted old man Buick color.

They have to sell the cars. A bright purple won't sell but one or two of them.

the purple looks better in the sun. Closer to Porsche ultraviolet.

Can anyone confirm if the yellow has metallic?

I agree the purple looks pretty good in the sun, but the same can said for a few GM colors. They pop in the sun, but are dark elsewhere i.e. Limerock Green.

Outsell? Sure. Outsell enough to justify the work on it? No. Corvette buyers have changed a small amount, but we're all generally the same group.

I’m not understanding your logic. If you’re going to bring out a purple, bring one out one to wow. Not another dead color. They obviously aren’t worried about bringing out low volume colors hence the 3 in the past that they knew wouldn’t appeal to the masses.

Is there a new yellow caliper to match the new yellow? The current yellow calipers are super Green to coordinate w/ AYM. Could be the camera, but that RB car in the background looks to have a more yellow caliper than the current shade.

My guess is Accelerate Yellow, Amplify Orange and that gold awful Cactus Green.

The addition of Competition Yellow was a long time coming...Accelerate Yellow was terrible (I know, I know, eye of the beholder). Having just ordered Amplify Orange, I prefer Sebring Orange with the Metallic flake, but oh well!

yes. I posted that earlier but wasn’t sure. Now I’m positive they had to go to a true yellow caliper and seatbelt, will be a great accent for a blue car finally

Id be all over a purple Z06 if that color was offered in 2023. But I am completely satisfied with my torch red Z06/Z07..

That Sebring Orange will look fantastic. Cant wait to see that purple. Not my thing, but I think it might look really nice in the sun and maybe almost black at night.
