This color was the talk of the town when it was released and now not even a year later, no one talks about it. That's how fad colors goes and why I won't buy one.

Your money, your choice. I like lots of colors. I have Dusk Blue, Bright Red, Black, Hugger Orange and now Rapid Blue. My Model A’s are Andalucite Blue and Green. My daily driver’s are white. For me, I wouldn’t have the Vivid Orange or Sharkskin.

That Rapid Blue always reminds me of Petty Blue. I wonder how long it will be before someone dresses one up like a NASCAR Camaro with 43 on the side.

Not sure about all that. I get compliments on the color all the time. Most people seem to love the color, especially in 1LE trim with the contrasting black hood, spoilers and side skirts.

I agree. I've had sports cars in white, red, gray, but mostly blue. For some reason I'm partial to blue. My 2003 Nissan Z is Daytona Blue. It's my favorite color of any car I've owned.

I'm sure about it based on the forum and FB conversation about this color. If you like it, that's all that matters. Its just that the popularity of this color is fading really quickly. I notice you live in NC also, that color blue is fitting there so I'm not surprised you get compliments in your area.

I would have taken a Shock or Crush, if I had been in the market when those colors were available. Awesome cars need awesome colors!

I wanted Rally Green but it was a one year only color

as the Camaro sunsets in 2024 and if you want a ZL1 / 1LE you may not get to be too picky about color....but I do like my rapid blue

ZPirate, agreed: I'm a guy who, to be honest, absolutely HATES the black wheel trend -- even more than I hated the "Chrome" wheel trend -- but it all really comes together and looks PDG on the blue that you've got.

Hi all,

I do like that rapid blue. It’s a similar hit to the 1970 Boss 302 that I wanted but was too poor to afford! I felt so very lucky to find my ‘22 ZLE, period, plus it was a color I loved…wild cherry tintcoat!

I agree that pretty much any color available will be the choice as the final year rolls around.

JJ
