Took this at the Lone Star Corvette Club annual dinner. I love the be green and the interior is actually gorgeous. I'm impressed but the car still needs work for me to love it. They are going for new clientele with this car for sure.

Lime Rock Green

Doesn't bother me. Its not on a Mustang. Besides, my first "Bullitt green" was with my family's Pontiacs in the late 60's early 70's.

Hard to tell in those lights but it looks kind of spruce greenish which is not good IMO.

Car paint is the only time when it's acceptable to talk about colors in depth like this.

I assume its a reference to the racetrack.

They should have just called it 'Like a Rock Green' because of the truck motor it has in it.

It is close to spruce but darker. It's actually a great color and darker than British racing green. I feel it's a call back to the C4 spruce in some ways.

Green is a hard color to photograph. I love the emerald green metallic on my Fox but man some pictures look teal, some look what I would call hunter green and others almost look bluish.

But in person, there have been few colors better IMO. Still talking about the Fox not the Vette pictured here.

Yep, just googled it and found this. I want this even more than a '69 Eliminator or '05 DB9 and almost as much as a '05 Ford GT.
