At a Chevy dealer in LA, a Corvette owner I met said on first sight he thought my Hyper Blue ZLE was a Corvette.

I think with unique features like the big CF wing, hood wrap and big dive planes the ZLE just creates a visual impression that confuses car enthusiasts who aren't already familiar with it. When it's clean and shiny on a sunny day, bright unique colors like Hyper Blue add to the effect.

People see it and first think it's a custom car with custom mods--aero, carbon vent, steamroller wheels. This combination confuses or distracts people while they take it in--the overall effect for these people, me included, is "Wow, that looks like some badass Hot Wheels muscle car come to life" That's what I thought when I saw it, and at least 50% of the reason why I bought it.
