I have a 2023 Z51 HTC in Hypersonic Gray with the red dipped interior. Beautiful car. Get tons of attention and tons of compliments on the color everyday. Sucks they are eliminating hypersonic grey. Best color, especially if the grays in my opinion!
As owner of a C7 Z06, Cacti is simply the best and rarest color they have, for 2024. Hysteria has way too much blue in it, and my car is yellow, so I don't need another yellow.
Ill bet there are more colors coming. In my mind, there's no way they'll axe all those greys and not even give us another shade of it. Hypersonic grey is beautiful and should've been kept.
Hey Mike, great video mate! Your content is always a treat to watch. You are without a doubt, a respected leader in the Corvette content community. Joe Lamb aka “Super 8”
Darn! After obsessing for the past several months about color choice on a 2025 Z06 that I plan to order, I had finally narrowed my preference down to Silver Flare or Hypersonic Gray. I certainly hope GM replaces those colors with something else in the silver/gray family in addition to Seawolf Gray.
My 2024 ceramic matrix grey Stingray is the 8th most common color that GM offered out of 14 colors. That makes the color not very common. With the ceramic matrix grey color going away for 2025 that makes the color even more rare. Personally, I'm ok with that.
They had enough shades of gray to write a steamy novel so it's good they got rid of some but GM settled on keeping the worst one. Hopefully Seawolf will look better once the primer gray coat is actually painted.
No, I believe GM made all the right choices, except carbon flash black was better than flat black. Hopefully this will speed up the production process a little. They got rid of colors that weren't selling, especially ugly cacti. Ceramic Matrix gray looks like a white car that's already dirty. All of the colors are good now but I agree that the purple color should look more purple. I'm still high on the wait list for an ERray, but I'm glad that means that I'll now be getting a 2025.
This purple does not pop do they not see Lamborghini colors or colors from Europe come on gm stop having 65 year old Men pic colors for a finally exotic looking sports car brown, same orange, old yellow, they act like they can’t come up with anything new
Interesting move by GM to eliminate so many colors, but the ones eliminated were not a big surprise. I just hope they are making room for some new and exotic ZR1 colors, but would have expected those to be announced along with the purple. At the end of the day we all make the best decisions we can with the information we have at the time. There is no off-season for Monday morning quarterbacks. 🤷♂️😵💫
Wow!! Finally, my CMG will become a color of the past. Glad they ran it long enough for my C8 Z06. But, kinda wished they only ran that color for the Carbon 65s!!! Blue Ice 2 lives on!!!
Hey Mike you should buy a new orange 2025 corvette as well so you have two for the channel, Also have that neighbor mark buy you a new purple C8 so you can increase video content, your thoughts ?
The greater news is that we will definitely get new colors for the next year, hopefully we will get new premium colors for 2025/26! Sebring is my favorite because my plan was to buy 2019 in that color but I got the new 2020 C8 in Sebring Orange. So I can foresee getting my 2025 Z06 in Sebring Orange if the new Hysteria does not pop in person.
I’m tired of black, white, red, and gray Corvettes. I want a copper C8. A nice metallic Copper C8 with a natural interior would garner my respect and money! I’m waiting. Make it happen!
GM is clearing low-volume colors in prep for the ZR-1 in 2026. The ZR-1 will have three unique colors bringing the total back up to 13. Rapid blue will be replaced with another blue shade in 26. Sea Wolf Gray will also be replaced with another gray.
Sebring Orange is a great color. I was annoyed that it had been dropped for a much lesser replacement. Metallic black is a good idea. Good riddens to Cacti! Corvette should offer more than 20 colors and charge premiums for some exotic stuff...people will pay. Why does the red never change? Even Ferrari changes its red. Has anyone ever heard of Blue Blood Red? It is the best in any light.
Hi Mike, Great video. I have a Hypersonic Gray Stingray and wouldn’t trade it for any other color! But since it’s going away, my next favorite w would be an Artic White Z06!
Happy you said something to GM interesting changes maybe getting ready for the Brighter colors next?Ask for a Bright Purple McLaren or Lambo style and a bright green in good timing
Hi lighter isn't the vibrant people are looking for go figure. How about looking at mclaren, lamborghini, or porsche vibrant colors GM. They have literally showed you what people want.
I originally had a Silver Flare build. I ended up with a dealer spec Seawolf Gray. It’s a great color but I do regret not getting the Silver Flare build. It looks like an amazing color with a little bronze in it.
I don’t think like Seawolf Gray ? Is it got any metallic in it ? I like the Silver a lot but went with Red Mist on my C8 live it’s metallic and pops great in the sun . 👍🏻 it does get dark a bit too dark for me in cloud and at night . I wish it was bit lighter in those conditions think Mazda has a color that is this but only mostly seen it in day time . I don’t like the Accelerate Yellow think it has too much greenish tinge ? The Amplifu orange seemed to really show orange peel ? Black too anal . Carbon flash near but too anal . White boring without sine striping to me . Red one of my favorite but like the metallic and sun effects making the Red Mist more exotic . Not really fan of Dark gets as says thing the Silver Flare was perfect and metallic . Shame they didn’t keep that option as also not a wrap fan . I BBB think GM needs a dark green Luke Synergy Green or Viper Green . Cacti and Rapid blue are ok wife likes the Rapid Blue I prefer the dark Blue But getting too close to Black which shows dust , every defect and little thing . Had few black cars in past said never again. Also think lines of car get lost in black and prefer brighter weeks over black with shiny black better than matte Black if had to go black wheels . I like seeing the Hysteria and do maybe wish was more like that PPF wrap purple . I think Gm should offer a color shifting color as well . I like new tech where cars can change their color electrically 👍🏻 maybe a c9 feature ? Or for sure maybe c10 but might not be here for that am 66 😢

Dang, I was hoping they'd keep hypersonic gray. It's really, really nice and I would take that over Seawolf Gray.
So glad I bought my hypersonic gray, you don't see many. It draws tons of attention.
I always thought that with adrenaline dipped would look nice.

Same
Seawolf gray is little shy of glossy primer. Looks bad on a C8 or a truck. More bonehead decisions from GM.
Getting rid of all the grays and making you pay for a gray sucks.

Absolutely correct!

Shark Gray is the best gray ever on a Corvette!
They had enough shades of gray to write a steamy novel so it's good they got rid of some but GM settled on keeping the worst one. Hopefully Seawolf will look better once the primer gray coat is actually painted.
We have been asking for color changes. Now we need to be patient.
It time to change the body on the C8 new back, fender flares, scoops.
The yellow is the only color I like because I’m a yellow color lover 😊
Smashed - Great Content !!!!!!!
I love the Accelerate yellow. Sorry to see it go.
All i want is my purples Z07
Gonna miss CMG 😢
Im still upset abt the loss of caffeine metallic and that was years ago.
GM needs to being back shark grey for the Australian 🇦🇺 models we’ve never had shark grey in Australia 🇦🇺
Mike. I got a z06 allocation end of april and i have a delivery date 7 June at the NCM. Carbon flash mettalic.
No, I believe GM made all the right choices, except carbon flash black was better than flat black. Hopefully this will speed up the production process a little. They got rid of colors that weren't selling, especially ugly cacti. Ceramic Matrix gray looks like a white car that's already dirty.

Just tired of GM being too stupid to come out with a good exotic green!!!
😢 cacti green
Bring back long beach red
No silver will lose this buyer for a '25...
Holding back my thumbs up for the clickbait color in your thumbnail.
Huge news?
I admire your ability to exaggerate.
#hehehe
This purple does not pop do they not see Lamborghini colors or colors from Europe come on gm stop having 65 year old
Men pic colors for a finally exotic looking sports car brown, same orange, old yellow, they act like they can’t come up with anything new
Couldn’t care less about colors.
Make a manual and give me round tail lights when the ZR1 is released.
Colors still too basic
Amplify Orange was my favorite

You have to have a silver...😪
Add 2 months or so to order dates for production dates. 2024 end production July. 2025 start August.
Wow!! Finally, my CMG will become a color of the past. Glad they ran it long enough for my C8 Z06. But, kinda wished they only ran that color for the Carbon 65s!!! Blue Ice 2 lives on!!!
Blue Ice II is a beautiful legend that will live on forever! ❤️🙏
@doughooks7411 Thanks Twin!!!
Thanks Mike, I agree 14 colors would’ve been the right move. Also agree about missing out on Cacti on my ERay

So I can foresee getting my 2025 Z06 in Sebring Orange if the new Hysteria does not pop in person.
Should`ve kept the Carbon flash and got rid of the Black. It looked better than the flat black, reminded me of the Shadow grey almost?
I’m tired of black, white, red, and gray Corvettes. I want a copper C8. A nice metallic Copper C8 with a natural interior would garner my respect and money! I’m waiting. Make it happen!
Cacti going away was a no brainer to me. Its just one of those “so-so” colors

That thumbnail green is absolutely the best color Ive seen on a Z06!
Got rid of too many greys. They needed to keep silver flair
So stupid. Why do away with the only nice grey
Do you think they are going to raise prices again for the 2025 model year?
Cacti ordered, built and on the way! Thank goodness.
Thank goodness I got my hypersonic grey
I was going to do Hyper sonic grey now it will be Hysteria.
Let me get your fastest c8 please 😂😂😂😂😂
I’ll be waiting buddy boy 😂😂😂😂😂

Like Dodge, these nim rods making the calls in these companies are just plain ignorant. IMO!!!
Jeez….they really wiped the gray slate clean? No Silver (silver flare)? When was the last year that they haven’t offered a silver?? Wow!
I don’t think like Seawolf Gray ? Is it got any metallic in it ?
I like the Silver a lot but went with Red Mist on my C8 live it’s metallic and pops great in the sun . 👍🏻 it does get dark a bit too dark for me in cloud and at night .
