I am at a total loss. Stryker Red would be beautiful, but not $10k+ beautiful.

I really wish there were better colors of the blue and gunmetal, so hard to tell what they look like so far.

Agree. I'm not considering Stryker Red, but I'd love to see much better paint chips of all the other colors.

The SRT in yellow looks really good IMO. And I am not a yellow car type of guy. The white will be sick with the track pack /black wheels.

Would love to see some more colorful options, like 08-10 offered however.

I'm still holding out hope that I can get my hands on a STRYKER RED....(even though I haven't seen it in person!).....!! I haven't seen one picture of it that I didn't love.

However if that's not doable....my next (potential) colour would be the Gunmetal Pearl....but I'd definitely have to see it first in person to be sure I liked it.

Options for the 2001 was Sapphire blue with sliver stripes and the solid color. Gunmetal and the blue color have not been seen on a car yet. I am doing the waiting game. Thinking of a 2014.

The Shadow Blue and the Gunmetal are both darker than Sapphire Blue and Graphite , respectively. Having seen the Shadow with silver stripes,though, it still is striking like the Sapphire was in 2001. Would imagine a Gunmetal with silver stripes would have the same pop as the Graphite and Silver did !?

Do you know if dealers will get paint samples before order time?

That's GTS blue. Shadow is gonna look kinda like sapphire blue or the more recent blackberry pearl.
I thought gts blue will be only for launch edition which means without white stripes is not possible, but lame it looks fantastic!

Yeah Sad
like Bob said, it's gts blue. I'm always amazed at how much of a difference the shape of a car impacts a paint. I never really paid that much attention to blue until I saw it on the genv gts hood and front end.
That color is wicked on the car which is why I don't think you need stripes on the gts hood. It looks so nice and curvy when the light hits the paint I think the stripes take away from the looks in this case. jmho

Yep, but I still think they'll not allow GTS blue without stripes out of the factory as a prodcution car!
