I'd choose riptide over Elkhart and rapid over both. Love my rapid Z06 htc. Your camera captures these fantastic too by the way, viewing on my calibrated oled. My 3 kids chose rapid too, I like bright colors for my corvettes. My last one was velocity yellow. 👍
Yes!! I love the Rapid Blue Z. I saw one out in the wild the other day. Absolutely beautiful. You know I like vivid as well since both of mine are yellow. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Good day Jason; being an owner of a 2011 Jetstream Blue Grand Sport, I’m all about Blue Vettes; Jetstream Blue is my favorite Blue of any generation, but in the C8 generation, I choose the Riptide as my favorite; take care !
Yes sir!! JSB is one of the best ever! I love Laguna, Riptide, supersonic and Carlisle. All great colors as well. I, of course also love Rapid. GM has had some great blues.
I love my rapid blue C8 Stingray, but now that I'm 3 years older, I'm going with riptide blue for the z06 I just ordered. Hard to go wrong with any of these blues though!
Christian has the right idea for a young dude and possibly future vette owner. I think of those three i like Elkhart Lake Blue for the depth that color has - if i remember there are purple undertones in the color and its total class. Riptide Blue is certainly a looker the only downside might be that GM uses it all over the product line so you see Riptide Blue paint codes on trucks and SUVs as well. Rapid Blue was my early favorite when the C8 came out but some of that attention might be negative. Also wonder if the upcoming 2025 Cadillac color "drift" is going to find its way onto the C8....its a very light blue that reminds me of Ceramic Matrix Gray in some ways. Great video and glad you got to include the Laguna Blue C7 in there!
Riptide blue for sure. I had a 2003 electron blue Z06. I had so many comments on the blue. Every time I took it out where ever I parked it I had people telling me what a beautiful color. Blue is a attention catcher color 😃
Wanted the 2023 Elkhart lake blue was not able to get one Took delivery of my 2024 2 months ago in the riptide blue Glad I got it Love the color , metallic in the color pops Was at a car show recently and all people that saw it loved it , asked what color is that?
I was leaning toward the ELB, but it got discontinued and Riptide is a bit too bright for my liking (Also, same exact color is used on equinoxs). So I got HSG instead, would have choosen ELB or the 70th metalic pearl white if those were available.
Hey Jason, I got a question about E.O.S.? How good is their carbon fiber? I see you have it on your car, I’m about to buy some carbon fiber for my c8 htc, wanted to see what you thought before I buy. Thank you
It’s mostly been perfect. I had an issue with one piece and they sent me a replacement. On the splitter, I did need to correct a couple holes to line up perfectly. Overall, for the price comparison, I think they’re great. My friend had the same issue with some carbon fiber from a higher end competitor.
@@FrontSeatDriver ok thank you very much, I just bought a lot stuff from them and wanted to see what your thoughts since you have bought from them before. I hope I don’t have any problems but we’ll see. Thank you again
Sorry bit rapid blue is for older Vette owners does not look good in person and in natural light looks like a child's playroom blue hints a little kid like it lol next…..
Riptide is perfect, at least in this lighting. Wow 😍
Yes. It’s quite eye catching.
Can't go wrong with any of those shades of blue!
Agreed.
I love all those blues
Same.
Great video! Rapid Blue for me…I just got a 2023 Z06 in Rapid Blue, love it!
Nice!!!
I'm a blue lovin guy, but I need some flake. Oo ya my 2020 is Elkhart Lake Blue. IF Riptide was available when I ordered, I would have chosen that.
ELB is awesome it that Riptide is 🔥
Gorgeous shades of blue, my heart beats for Rapid Blue!!
Yeah. That is a great color!
Love the behind the scenes!
Same.
The black shirt really pops off that white back wall. And a perfect match with the back wall.
For sure!!
Riptide because blue its my favorite color, even tho I drive a 2024 HTC Amplify orange 😅😅😅😅😅
lol. Amplify is an AWESOME choice though. 🧡
I'd choose riptide over Elkhart and rapid over both. Love my rapid Z06 htc. Your camera captures these fantastic too by the way, viewing on my calibrated oled.
My 3 kids chose rapid too, I like bright colors for my corvettes. My last one was velocity yellow. 👍
Yes!! I love the Rapid Blue Z. I saw one out in the wild the other day. Absolutely beautiful. You know I like vivid as well since both of mine are yellow. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Although I love blue...not in a car. I have a new 2024 Arctic white with red/black interior. If I had to do it over again,I would order red mist.
Red Mist is a great classic color and really shows the body lines.
Elkhart was the one I wanted for Z06 but GM dropped it for 2024….. riptide is amazing in person but I wish they would bring back Supersonic Blue!
Heck yeah!! Supersonic Blue is awesome!!
I love all of them!
Agreed.

love this comparison!
Thank you!🙏
All the blues are beautiful
FSD - you better add some “Stick on” carbon fiber to those!
Well yeah. Of course!! 😁
I have a Rapid blue HTC with black roof and I get more compliments on that color! Wanted a supercar color and that is it!
It definitely is! And HTC is the only way to go imo.
Rip tide blue 😊
Riptide looks amazing especially with the black roof!
Agreed.
I love my rapid blue C8 Stingray, but now that I'm 3 years older, I'm going with riptide blue for the z06 I just ordered. Hard to go wrong with any of these blues though!
Agreed. Both are beautiful!
Rapid blue

Riptide blue is basically Laguna Blue from the previous C7 generation colors.
Rapid
Great color.

Yeah, Laguna is one of my favorites!! I haven’t seen the color “drift.” I’ll have to look it up.
Riptide blue for sure. I had a 2003 electron blue Z06. I had so many comments on the blue. Every time I took it out where ever I parked it I had people telling me what a beautiful color. Blue is a attention catcher color 😃
That’s a new one for me. I don’t think I’ve seen that color. I’ll be looking for it to show up at Corvette Warehouse sometime.
Wanted the 2023 Elkhart lake blue was not able to get one
Took delivery of my 2024 2 months ago in the riptide blue
Glad I got it
Love the color , metallic in the color pops
Was at a car show recently and all people that saw it loved it , asked what color is that?
You’re correct. That Riptide is absolutely beautiful!!
And congrats on the new C8.
I like these blues. I might even consider trading in my manual blue Supra for one, one day.
Hard to beat a manual though.
Wow Riptide DOES look more like Laguna! It's been hard to tell under most lighting.
Absolutely. And did you see all that metallic flake. It’s really impressive.
Rapid for me. I love metallic paint but in this case the Rapid just pops more.
It does. It’s caught my eye on the other side of the freeway quite a way down the road.
Rapid blue. By a lot.
🩵
hundred of moms have been in my rapid blue C8
🤣🤣🤣

HSG is a great color though.
My next vette will be blue! Personally I like the darker admiral blue. But I’m with you, Riptide!
Yup. Admiral Blue. Another great color.
GM should’ve bought back Jet Stream Blue from the c6
No doubt. It’s beautiful.
I'll take the C8 with the manual trans! Oh, wait 😮😢
😂 Yeah. Unfortunately 😥

Rapid all the way
A beautiful color!!
My vote Riptide.
Yeah. It’s a beautiful blue.
Nice shirt
Thx! I think they turned out pretty good.
Rapid FTW
🙌
Rapid blue or rip tide blue
Can’t go wrong.
All dope colors. I'd go with the RIP TIDE. 🏎💨🌊
Yeah, it’s a great color!!
🏎💨💨💨🌊🌊🌊
Actually its a hard choice.
Yup. I agree.
It's expensive 😩, I'd rather have Mazda mx5 or scion frs or Subaru brz
Riptide for me
💙
Riptide blue
🔥
1. Elkhart Lake Blue
2. Rip Tide Blue
3. Rapid Blue
Have you seen Riptide in person?
@@FrontSeatDriver Yes. But C5 Electron Blue is really nice.
Sorry bit rapid blue is for older Vette owners does not look good in person and in natural light looks like a child's playroom blue hints a little kid like it lol next…..
I think Rapid is more of a younger generation choice. That’s just my feeling though. It’s a very popular color.
