Default Exterior color

I am in a serious debate with myself. I plan to order later this week.

Can't decide between Blade Silver and Artic White.

I have a Cyber Gray 2010 Z06 now and have had standard coups, crystal red metallic and Precision Red.

I have seen very few white vettes and no C7 white ones but the pics on this site are interesting.

Same with blade silver.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Can't go wrong with either but for the C7 simply there are too many whites, not enough silvers.

Both are great colors but I just watched my Switchblade silver Z06 being built and without doubt it was the standout in the plant. Not many know this but starting with the 16 model the application of the silver was changed to obtain a more uniform, brighter appearance. And boy does it work. Almost zero op and no unevenness in the paint at all. Also silver, by far, highlights all the lines of the C7. The others seem to mute them IMHO.
Can't go wrong either way but you will have a more exclusive car with silver, which I like. Good luck.

I have previously owned five different black on black Vettes but I could not justify doing black again with my Z06. I feel that you just lose too much of the car in black and it does not maximize it's appearance. When I realized black was not an option I decided to go with blade silver. It is a beautiful shade of silver and very classy looking. You can see the lines really well with blade silver. I can't believe it is one of the least ordered colors but to each their own I guess.

Default silver or white blue interior

Anyone seen a Silver 2016 or 2015 that has the blue interior?

Blade Silver looks great on any Corvette since it has all the black aero pieces. White is also very nice but white is the hot color this year and I think there are far too many white cars on the road now. The silver with red interior is a really nice combination.

Yes. There is one at a nearby dealership to me. Was a customer ordered car and then he walked out of the deal. Not sure how much of his money they kept. If you want more info on the car PM and I will let you know the dealership.
