I am a fan of both...seeing the shark gray on the C7 was.
That would be my choice.

I have to edit this as if you are thinking long term with this car , any touch ups will be a lot easier with out the metallic in it.

I really like Cyber Gray - IMHO it's the best gray ever by GM. Metallic flecks of blue when the sun hits it - beautiful!

Have you thought of Medium Spiral Gray -- or is that color too light?

I'm with Black and Tan. Shark gray is too bland for my tastes. Cyber gray has more soul.

Maybe wait and check out the new Watkins Glenn gray coming in 2017. Between the two listed, I would take Cyber Gray, however I'm partial to the C5 Medium Spiral Gray.

Since my C7 is CGM, gotta go with that...

I really like NBM on my C5, especially the color shift properties.
If that had been available, my 7 would match my 5.

I'm partial to the Medium Spiral Gray Metallic as well. Would probably never have considered it until I saw it in person, in the sun

i like the msg as well but i like the shark gray for the rareness.....the cyber gray has much more depth and would have more satisfaction after cleaned and waxed.

my problem with my machine silver c5z is that it look just as clean when its dirty as it does when its clean lmfao.
the only way anyone can tell its dirty is the brake dust after a hard night of making pulls. i enjoy washing and detailing the car and was thinking a respray in one of these more popular colors would appeal to the next buyer and solve my hatred for machine silver .
lmfao

and why did i buy it before you ask LOL
its a ls2 427 car that makes 550/505 na, so for what i paid i got the engine free.

Stolen,

I'm also guilty of owning a silver car that was too perfect otherwise to pass up. I feel you! lol

I like spiral because it's not very common, but I'm partial to all of the 'gunmetal' type grays.
I do like cyber....
