OK, camaro5 - I'm confused, are you saying that the jestream blue, the lighter blue - which closer resembles the 1969 lemans blue is the blue you are talking about being available on the ZR1?

Because the 2006-2007 lemans blue, which was replaced by jestream blue, is NOT a stadard offering on the 2009 ZR1, AFAIK.

lemans blue was ONLY available on ZR1 VIN #0001, which was auctioned off for over $1million, to a private collector. It, AFAIK, was the one and only factory lemans blue zr1 ever offered.

Just curious, because the 2006-2007 lemans blue was perfect on the vettes, and is my favorite (big surprise) color ever offered on the C6.

Not being argumentative, just want clarification. If they decided to start offering LMB again on the vettes, that would be cool!

Thanks.
Holy Crap! Someone as nut's about these cars as I am!

I stand corrected. As I read your post, that all came back to me. This is a picture of indeed the first 2009 ZR1.

"Meanwhile, the first salable ZR1 has already been built and will go to collector Dave Ressler immediately. The million-dollar price tag is roughly ten times what a ZR1 will retail for. The ZR1 is the most powerful Corvette ever, delivering 620 horsepower. Ressler’s car is painted Le Mans blue."

Thanks for refreshing me.

Sorry Turtle! I know you wanted an LMB ZR1. :(
