Promoted C8 Colours

[Cobravenomous]

My bad....when I got my c7 the only difference in the colour cost was the actual dollar amount between USA and Canada. The standard colour list and the extra cost colour list was identical between the two countries. Apparently times have changed if we’re getting gouged for extra cost on no charge USA options.

I just read an article that compared a C-7 Z06 to a Ferrari 488 and it noted that the Ferrari paint was a $15,000 option. Makes me feel that my $1,500 upcharge for my Long Beach Red paint was very reasonable.

Since we're talking colours, I find many of the available colours very desirable. I absolutely love my Long Beach Red, which a number of members here supported during my ordering process, but if I had to pick my absolute favourite it would be Daytona Sunset Orange Metalic. Too bad it's not available on the C-8, it's a killer paint!

LBR is the colour I ended up with too!! I love it and get lots of positive comments on it. Funny thing was...I ordered Night Race Blue...but by the time they got around to my order NRB was on build out and they couldn’t supply it...so I picked LBR as an alternate choice. GM provided it no charge!! Then I saw NRB later and thanked the colour gods I didn’t get it. Not my favourite “in the flesh”

The cost of the different paint colors varies between the US and Canada. In Canada only Arctic White, Black, Torch Red and Blade
Silver are available at no charge.

1000$ or 1500$ CDN for the upgrades not too bad!

going this week to have a look as it sounds like its close to open season on convertibles....hummmm upgrade paint or a few more options

Cheers,

Kevin

Opinions are just that. Opinions. Some are going to love it, some not so much. We have some members with the sebring. Maybe they can chime in. @ccltj @k-dog

JMO and maybe I'm a rebel or something but silver wouldn't be my first choice. There's a lot of silver Vettes and silver everything on the roads. The car itself will still grab the eye first with a silver C8, but a more uncommon colour will add to that grab....

Awesome reviews keep them coming on the SO and BS.....yes I hear you on everyone's individual colour choices. I am torn between this and the Blade Silver as I like both very much and its just that I can't see it live that has me flipping back and forth....everyone has been coming through in spades and I SUPER APPRECIATE any and all contributions.....hummm funny I have not heard much about Blade Silver owners.

I am also a SF Giants as well as an Oakland (Las Vegas) Raiders fan so this is getting at me as well hahahahahhaah FML hahahaha I know I Know 1st word problems hahahahah

Cheers,

Kevin

Kev.........the Sebring Orange literally kills the "boring" Blade Silver". My recommendation.......go Sebring Orange! That colour smacks with "look at me"!

Everyone here will want to know what you decided now that we're all invested in your purchase ha ha!

(Please-no offence to any with a Blade Silver Vette.....)

Damn I really like the yellow now that I have seen it.

Well I am like 60/40 SO I was more 70/30 before but finding out the other guy at my dealership has almost the same build took the 10% hahahahah I even went to the Kerbec list of 3000 Event Codes only 15 Sebring and 14 Blade that didn't even help hahahahahah.

This is my first new car ever, and when I first saw the SO on the configurator I was like WOW Daddy LIKE! So the SO is there for sure I just have to see it to pull that trigger...and I was loving hearing that it could most likely be the one in Montreal and that is starting Thursday night with the Gala but 230$ Uhhhhh Ill wait till Friday morning and 17$ hahahahahah…...

My Silver Arrow F1 like always been there since I worked the Pits for them in Montreal for Pertornas and McLaren-Mercedes for a few years.....But I also loved The McLaren's in Papaya Orange.

Here are some of my pics from Canadian GP.

That would be the day I wouldn't purchase my preferred colour car because somebody else also bought the same colour! Metro Ottawa has a population of 1.3 mil and with Corvettes typically only driven occasionally even if there was 50 purchased, all the same colour you may never see one.

Order the colour that grabs you the most!!!
