I like how the Cacti Green is kind of understated, but also unique.


Something my dad told me, "Son, never buy a yellow or green car, they are Lemons and Limes."


I did buy a yellow super beetle once, blew a fist size hole in the engine on the highway...

Considering this is a Rain Man thread, disappointed no one said Apricot.

Corvette is too over the top for me. White might tone it down

Monticore 04-02-2024 07:27 AM

Caucasian

Black with red durag

White is classy. New Corvettes are already obnoxious with their look, the white tones it down a little. White doesn’t scream for attention as much. But the performance of the new all wheel drive vette has got to be unreal.

Red of course.

Corvettes run 120-170k as a rule so at least a guy can think about it without a 7-figure salary. I'd put Porsche and Mercedes in the same category.

I have less than $50Gs in my 2019 Stingray. I bought it slightly used before the used car market freaked out with prices going through the roof. Hard to believe it's almost 5 years old. I could have sold it six months ago for what I paid for it in 2020.

I’m thanking my friend and doing what I should have done in the first place and bought a Porsche. Pepper white or British Racing Green.

I don't know. Ask me in 20 years

Red is the only color of Corvette that Prince sang about so I went with Torch Red.

loochy 04-02-2024 10:38 AM

I really do like black. I think that's what I'd go with and keep it under a dust cover in the garage since black is a bitch to keep clean looking.


Black exterior with the red and black interior... I love it

I'm a bit of a Corvette fan but the sweet spot for me are the early C3's, specifically between '68-72 when you could special order the L88 package with an aluminum block 427 rated at 400 horses but was making more like 600.
I'm still getting used to the new mid engine version.

Excellent choice.

A couple buddies have this color.
