Thumbs up Saw a liquid silver Z today

and DAMN now i know why people are willing to shell out so much money for it. it looks great. I saw it in the sunlight, just as the sun was setting...looked really metallic...alot like the silver show car Z I saw before they released the Z to the general public. Pictures do this color no justice.

HOT!

Sounds like the same thing that happened with Brickyard. "Pictures don't do it justice"..."It looks amazing in direct sunlight." Maybe Liquid Aluminum will be discontinued for '05, who knows.

I've gotta see one to make my judgement, and still have YET to see one.

I dont know... I saw it and all i can say is that personally, I think it is a waste of money. If you dont see the CS and LA side by side, it is difficult to tell them apart. Even next to each other, the differences are subtle.

I did see them side by side in the daylight and i wasnt impressed with the difference. Granted, the sun wasnt setting, but there is no way I would spend that kind of money for a color that is so similar to another color I could get for free. That is money for an exhaust right there.

Of course, just my opinion.

My prediction is that it will be around for only one year due to lack of demand.

They should get rid of the brickyard and make LA standard.

i see CS Z's alot where I live...the fact that this color jumped right out at me when I drove by it...makes me think it's definitely easy to distinguish between the two. It's a very metallic color, so unless you see it in direct sunlight you might not think it looks much different I would imagine....it has 'bling'

Too bad Brickyard has been discontinued. It's a shame. I saw an LA touring at my dealership. It's ok, but not worth $1100. It almost looks white from a distance. Very light. I like it, but it isn't worth additional $$$.

I saw one too.

Really cool color.

Worth $1100?

Not to my cheap ***...but certianly a distinguishable color.

Makes CS look like the weakest silver of the three now (can you tell I own a SS?)

I like the LA color also. It's the closest thing to Porsche's "Pearlessence" on the 911 in '94. That was a silver-white metallic "special order" color that was awesome.

Does look good, but I have to agree with what someone said above... unless an LA and CS are parked right next to each other, I really can't tell the difference. Not worth the extra $$$s IMO
