    I like it on some cars. Especially compact sports. Its a 'cute' look, but IMO, not good for high level sports cars

    But on a Miata or a Civic ? I think it would be ncie

    I wish they kept shark gray so I'll probably go silver. I think Ceramic gray looks like white. Zeus is really nice but I think its a "hey look I've retired!" color. Red is.... red.

    I went Zeus hoping to blend into the backround. 1st was orange then rapid blue then zeus. But if the UAW thing does not get resolved maybe it will be a long time before anyone sees a C8.

    Man, I don't think Zeus will "blend into the background"!!! I think it is a beautiful color and really shows off the lines of the car. With the pewter 5 spoke wheels and 3LT natural dipped interior, it is the personification of a classic sports car.

    Zeus reminds me of a chameleon. Color extremes seem to shift from pewter to brown. Tan interior adds further compliment.

    On the 458 spider this was actually a pretty good feature. If the sun was too hot you could keep the top up and lower the rear window. The sounds from the back were pretty incredible and you got a really good airflow with the windows open.

    If that photo is from Laguna Seca, that color is Zeus Bronze, turns bronze in the sun.

    I really like Zeus bronze.
    Will be the color I seek out on a used c8 in a few years.

    Have golden bronze f150 King Ranch, am still amazed it gets positive comments from people. Its just an f150.

    $7500 option.... kinda a lot for a car that base is a targa.

    I truly hate the black roof and the way they intergrated it with rear buttresses. Honestly -- looks like a complete afterthought.

    Yeah, the C8.R looks nice. It looks so much different than the base model, but yet still like a road car with a wing and undertray
