The past weekend I went to the Weathertech Raceway in Monterey. I parked in the Corvette Corral , Tadje Juechter was there speaking. They had a Zeus Bronze Metallic on display. It was a 3 LT car with competition seats.. Enjoy.
Word of caution. See one of these in person before ordering. l saw one of these being driven by a GM employee in Bowling Green during Labor Day weekend. This is not a color I would order. But then again, there are several colors I Would not order, after seeing them in person. i like the new car, just not with certain colors. Take czre.
They had this car at the launch in Tustin, it looks OK in person but I found it very subdued and would not order it for a sports car (would work better on a Cadillac). The Torch Red and Elkhart Blue C8's looked so much better at the launch. BTW my C7 is Torch Red and will also order my C8 in red!

I had the opposite experience. I saw this car on Sunday and I would have never considered this color but it has a ton of metallic depth to it. The color has a lot of rich tones in it, I can see why they went with it. Looks fantastic in person and meh in pictures.
TO see the c8 is to know stunning beauty especially in the colors discussed.
its for a more sophisticated clientele...with the expensive 3LT natural color interior and should have a bronze wheel.
no z51 rear spoiler on that car in my opinion.
sleek and sophisticated.
many will not like it.
3LT required and thats not an inexpensive option so I understand the distaste for zeus bronze and the dipped natural 3LT interior and the bronze wheels.
those who dont want z51 (which I do) and dont want to spend the money for a 3 LT interior...i get it...im not buying a 3 LT interior either. The 3LT is required in my opinion to bring the zeus bronze color into balance as the all natural 3lt brings the natural colored dashpad all the way to the windshield ...zeus bronze done right needs that 3LT aspect to look the best it can.
certainly unique and quite rich in appearance.

Nobody is ordering this color, seems like Gm always puts out an ugly color with every new generation vette that gets dropped 1st year, this color will be dropped before the 2020 production is over.

I hope everybody agrees with you. That way, when I buy my gently used one in 2024, I'll get the "ugly color" discount. I, and my wife agrees, absolutely love this thing EXACTLY as it is in the picture. Makes the rear look OK to me and somewhat hides the giant black plastic panel in the front, without the car being the "impossible to maintain black..."

I ordered this color, but with black interior, and I am okay with all of you hating it.
Had a brown 260Z. But when I had it painted to include the fiberglassed in rear spoiler, the large aftermarket front air dam, emblems removed etc, the body shop recommended a Mid 70's Corvette Metallic Brown Looked a lot like the C8 Zeus Bronze! Loved it! Good luck.

Agreed.
I'm one that likes the Zeus bronze body color (but with the scoop piece painted the same color). I configured it as a 1LT and while still nice looking, that color really needs the 3LT natural dipped interior to bring it together. Car colors are very personal, so debating which color is best makes no sense as other's opinions are meaningless in this regard. There are a number of colors I would not order, so I keep any negative comments to myself.

That's an intelligent comment. See below -

Come on, no one is ordering this color per above!
I'm curious how many of the color aficionados calling it "brown" have actually seen it in the sunlight.
The inability of people on this forum to respect other member's personal taste is epic, and just plays into one of the many Corvette stereotypes; in this case, the angry old man.

Well said, except expressing the opinion that it's not a color you would chose is simply a personal choice statement. Elaborating on why with ignorant, childish, petty and unsolicited comments is not.
Currently there are 12 colors available; some I prefer more than others. Zeus Bronze with a Natural Dipped interior looks beautiful, but simply isn't my first choice.
