Nice color C7!
- Thread starter Dantanman
- Start date
There was.
I began my *active* search to buy one early may. It was (or another black rose) listed for sale at the time.
It was wearing an after market diffuser that threw me off, but pics were gorgeous.
White apparently is the most sold colour for the C7, but when I looked at one personally I found it dull looking compared to Red, Blade Silver or Black all with LT 2 Interior in red for me. Definitely wheels like Dyoung has on his baby.Have all winter to decide.
Wow ... nice Corvette and awesome pricing that’s for sure ... just add GM Visa savings and ... yippeeee 
I think “least popular” colour may appear most influenced by what dealership sales managers are choosing to order ... and is actually a bonus for those who buy one of “least produced” colour.
‘17 Sterling Blue
Not that I don’t see White as a great colour, I think it may be most ordered by sales still being hung up on the best resale colour of cars snd commercial vehicles being those that are White (so I was lead to believe years ago).
I know this sounds just like a broken record but I would definitely order a white ZR1 ..

Is the source of the stats a survey or tallied from factory special order or just because that’s just what there is on car lots? Not disputing the numbers and more curious of the source.

Thanks it’s good to know .... in my industry (residential) I have years knowing that what “manufactures say ...” Is trending might be something that has background reasoning. Coloured appliances 
are actually something likely coming back. What I hope doesn’t come back is dark green carpeting that manufacturers trended in the early 1990’s. So would not take things too much as they might appear to be as I feel the real “winning politicians” had their voters staying home on Election Day. So much for votes and surveys ....
I am still however happy that I get a choice

Who knew the horsepower wars would come back bigger and better than ever too? Very happy about that one.

I would take any colour ZR1. Can always wrap it as Dans white Ray was.
Without some contrast i agree. With black wheels, tinted windows and a black convertible top i like white. Mine was Satin Pearl so i think it popped a little more than straight Arctic White. Whatever works for you works for me.
I was on the fall Muskoka run yesterday. There were about 60 to 70 cars but of the many C7s there were only 2 white ones, my convertible and a coupe. I have a white van so I can understand how some people don't like the white. I had any choice on mine but, from my point of view, the white convertible with the black roof, all the other black accents, and the chrome wheels just rang all the bells. Blue was my second choice but I saw a blue one on the lot and the blue didn't emphasize the beautiful front end of the car. Colour is such a personal thing. I had an orange MG once and I hated that colour so I had it painted a beautiful metalic blue. A friend of mine couldn't believe what I had done. He liked the orange and loathed the blue. In fact, he said he hated all blue cars! Yellow has never been my favourite but yesterday there was a C6 coupe in yellow with a ceramic coating and it was really sharp. Going back to yesterday, it would have been really boring if all the cars were black rose. There was a Z1 there in orange. What a car but I won't comment on my feelings on the colour, especially when I will only be seeing the back end of that car. As an aside, the run yesterday was the best run I have ever had in Ontario. We left Orillia at 10am and I got back to Orillia at 6pm. It was a spirited run, to say the least, we had a great lunch, and it was well organized right from the start to the finish. I will definitely be going next year.
agreed Winter Snow sucks big time
(second only to Yellow Snow) 
With current colors, I've "appreciated" enough Sebring Orange ZR1 ... I need to see other colors now but I
do realize that ZR1s are all arriving as a pre-order. I heard there is a Matrix Grey to see
in Edmonton with a customer that "bailed", so I might travel up to look at it in a week
or two but I'm in no hurry because of the dealership it's at (worse place for buying experience
during my 2016 Corvette hunt with a LBR that they had). I've heard
by 3 other Owners though that the service crew there is very good. If anyone wonders,
it's actually on Edmonton Kijiji with apparent selling shenanigans
with an inflated priceof about $20k over msrp and a misuse of "used" for condition (with obvious pre-pdi 6km on it)
(likely as we see used ZR1 seen with higher prices - selling or not - who knows).
- I hope whomever buys this doesn't have to pay much over the brand new msrp pricing -
