I chose IBM, but black is a close second and CGM is a very close third. I was hoping for a color that would flop (change) a little more, like NBM, but who knows what it will look like until it's on the car. I remember seeing NBM first on GMHTP's first '98 Camaro and I didn't really like it on the cover, and didn't like it that much from the article pics' either. However, when I saw a clean one in person, out in the sun, I fell right in love.

Black would be my primary choice but this car has so many curves, ones that I haven't even noticed yet because I haven't seen it in person yet (nor the Concept) that I just think it would be a shame to blend it all together with a color like that. Now... if they had a black with a fair amount of metallic in it, like the blacks on Chargers and such, that would be different. Having worked in a bodyshop for 5+ years and at a dealership 5+ years before that, I've noticed how muddy and dirty black can look, and the black on the cars I just mentioned just POP right out in my eyes.

CGM is an awesome color too. I'm not much a gray fan, however, I loved the gray on '03-'04 Cobras, and this gray, although it's not to close, seems to look really nice. I like the blue-'ish metal flake in the paint and I think it pops really nice.

With either of these colors, I'd definately like some hockey puck stripes, probably in black for and white for the black car. These colors look really promising though
