Ha! It IS a very cool color but since I couldn't afford a color on my first car, I had to go with SW...and then I blame the drugs I was on in the hospital for my black car...grin....just kidding, love them both, but man, an ABM CE would have been hot too!

IMO ABM and Inferno Orange would have been 2 EXCELLENT colors for the Z/28s!

Very nice but SIM with Charcoal Stripe FTW

Every time I look at my car its like being 9 yrs old again looking at a 1969 Cortez Silver with Black Stripes and vinyl top SS RS that was in the neighborhood.

There was also a White with Orange Stripes and hounds tooth interior nearby

While I was driving yesterday feeling good about my decision, I was thinking about this. For me, this car does a fantastic job of pulling together the older analog muscle car era with enough (but not too much) newer technology. its highly reliable and still looks great. I've owned a lot of cars over the years but I can't say I have enjoyed any as much as this one (although I do miss my 05 GX470)

So, what does it for you, and how many times a week do you go out just to take a peek at it?

Because I can't afford a new Corvette....

GM really screwed the pooch on dropping both of those colors prematurely. I agree ABM on either of the Z cars would have been totally bad ass.

The Hot Wheels rims really suit it

Yes indeed! I remember seeing a lot of early, proto-pics with those rims and found myself somewhat disappointed when the stock wheel was...well, what it was on most of these. I mean, it's not a bad wheel, but I like the HW look a lot more.

I've debated letting mine go but at this point I have way too many memories with it. I've driven it to so many car meets, track days, and road trips it would be hard to see it go. I have a another track day this December and I can hardly wait.

Yep, love my 15 1LE.
