Just wondering what everyones views are on Velocity Yellow, is this a kiss of death come re-sale time or are Z06´s values not particulary affected by colour?

Regards

Having owned a millenium yellow C5 Z06 (now sold), the main issues relating to yellow is that all the insects in creation (including "blue botles&quotwink are attracted to it.(it looks like pollen, I assume).
I used to regularly get stopped and checked with some spurious excuse such as "you were weaving, sir!"
The colour to avoid I think is silver, its so non-descript.
The metallic black and blues are good.
Have a look on the US forums and check what colours are the most popular in the "wanted to buy"

There seem to be a lot of yellow C5 and C6 around which must say something for the colour. In my view it's the colour to have. Where people do dislike it, they seem to do so with more intensity than with other colours. Go on - buy it - you know you want to............

I hate the new JetStream Blue. It is far too effeminate for a butch car like the Z06 IMO!

I think a major downside with the C6 range is the small and unappealing palette of colours available.

I think a decent dark metallic grey and a nice dark metallic blue would look stunning.
And sadly the black available is not metallic; I would have much preferred it if it was.

But best of all, bring back Black Rose, which was a very cool dark metallic aubergine purple available on C4s for a year or two!

I agree,black rose was a great colour,Porsche once did a similar colour for the 911 for a while and I had a 740i BMW in aubergine with matching leather and interior,very cool with tints and 20" Alpinas.Or very drug dealer I'm not sure !

I think I'd have gone for yellow even if the race cars weren't that colour.

Though the bug attraction was a pain in the convertible in a summer traffic jam - bugs land on the bonnet, drive forward a few feet, stop, all the bugs then drop into the car!!
