Man that is sweet!

One suggestion, GET IT OFF THAT GREAT LAWN! (Sorry, I own a landscaping / lawn care company).

Sweet ride! Congrats to whoever the new owner is at NLOC!

I agree with lightningal...Its nice , but not a performance color.All the great sports cars of the world were red, black, silver,yellow and even white.Thats it.Just see the Farrari, lamborgini or Porche colors.I'm not a huge fan of yellow, but I would have picked it over the blue anyday. Just my 2 cents.

ummmm.....what about the Viper GTS? Or a lil car known as the Shelby Cobra? What about all the great Blue's the Corvette comes in...such as the Electron Blue Z06. Or the brilliant blue offered on the 911 a few years back.

Saleens351...You must have thought long and hard on that one.IMHO those cars do look good partially due to their unique lines , but I think their red,silver,and yellow counterparts have more appeal.Sure they deviate from the norm but the colors I mentioned never go out of style and have endured as "hot" colors for years and years.BTW,do they still make the viper in the blue??Unless it has racing stripes, blue always has been a subtle more conservative color, usually associated with luxury.ie: a blue suit.

long and hard....yeah a solid 10 seconds at least....including time to type it.

I dunno...it's just whenever I think of a Cobra or GTS I always see it in the original blue color it always came in. Same as the Corvette grand sport. And as far as their counterparts...I could be mistaken, but I don't remember yellow cobra's or GTS's. They were always seen in blue. I dont think blue goes in and out of style....nor does red or silver, but I would prolly have to argue about yellow. That is a more trendy color that comes and goes. I was just saying that it was wrong to write off blue as not having any relation to performance heritage when it clearly does.

You may still not like it, but that does not change the fact that it was the primary (sometimes only) color offered on some very distinguishable, notable performance icons.

They did make a yellow viper I believe in 96 or so.I don't recall any car made in just blue but it doesn't matter...I never said I didn't like the color, just didn't think it looked good on the L or most other performance cars. Hell, you could paint an F16 blue and it would still look killer I think its great that we have this variety.(isn't that why they made chocolate and vanilla)

Ha ha...good call ont he blue angels.

Mondo...they did make a yellow viper, but I beleive it was only the RT/10. I could be wrong, but the GTS, that I was talking about, never came in yellow. UNless I missed something.

Oh and the Corvette Grand sport only came in blue.



I beleive the Shelby Cobra came in other colors, but for some reason I've only ever see it in that classic blue.
