First Pics - 2008 C6 Z51 Jetstream Blue

Dylan@Adams · 09-25-07, 03:05

New color for 2008, my dad just picked it up and I've got to say I like it a lot more in person than I thought I would. The paint has a lot of flake and some really cool characteristics in different light... definitely a 'must see in person' kind of paint. Only snapped a few quick pics, I'll be detailing it next weekend to get it started off right. He just brought it by to have me remove the GM badges from the rear quarter panels.

He special ordered the Ron Fellows ZO6 style spoiler and the wheels which he had chromed before the car showed up. Windows were tinted today along with a borla catback installed.

Chevy really did a nice job of refining these, the interior from his 06 to this one is improved IMO, nice carbon fiber pieces and they worked out some of the parts that felt 'cheap' in the last one. The LS3 sounds nice and healthy.

I was never fond of that color on the C5, but maybe once I see it in person on the C6 it will start to grow on me. Your dads looks pretty nice.

I'm waiting for GM to come back out with the Spiral Gray Metallic on the C6, I think that will look killer.

Wow, I never seen a Corvette with that color before. That first picture looks really nice. I like it. Nice and refreshing to see a new color on a Corvette: I always see black, yellow, red, and sometimes white.

The first shot reminded me of legua Seca Blue from BMW but in a metallic.

Nice car!

Let me know how that LS3 runs. 430hp it's going to be fun.

The tail pipes and wheels are beautiful.

When I saw the title of the post I read ZR1 instead of Z51. I was on a rampage because the ZR1 isn't release just yet. But nonetheless very pretty car. I love that spoiler too.

I don't believe this color was offered on the C5... maybe something similar... as far as I know Jetstream blue metallic is new for 2008.

Very nice. The Trailblazer SS in the background is more my style though....

I just went to Funfest/Vette Fest in Effingham, Ill over the past weekend and there was a dealer there that rolled in driving a Z06 in that blue color. I dont know to much about that color besides that to see the Z06 in that color on the road already is suppose to be VERY rare.

Beautiful car btw!! :-)
