I ordered the titanium interior on my 2010 GS and was really, REALLY disappointed because the seats and door trim are grey but all the carpets and most of the interior trim are black. I didn't want a stinking hot black interior. Compare this to a cashmere interior which is ALL cashmere. If I wanted a black interior I would have ordered a BLACK interior.
I really, really don't like black carpet! I have a Mazda3 as a work car and if you wanted leather interior it was only available in black... All I can see is dust, gray hair and lint on everything. It really shows! This was one of the reasons I picked the Cashmere interior for my GS - I was liking the Cyber Gray exterior with a Titanium interior until I realized it still had the black carpet. If there had been a gray carpet my Vette might have turned out a little different...

...As far as titanium interior goes, I prefer warm colors in the cockpit so cashmere is perfect for my taste. And as you mentioned above, the 4LT has a good balance of accents rather than solid cashmere.
Here's my '10 3ZR/4LT interior. The seats have changed but the proportions of the black/cashmere are the same...
PS. I think it would compliment NRB very well.

I also believe the possible uniqueness of the one year run of NRBM and the 60th Anniversary is a bit of a draw to me as well. I'll only wait a little while before I decide to go for it or not...

If you really like and want a blue one, then you really cant go wrong. The NRB is a unique color, and it will be a attraction piece for sure. To me all Corvette colors are beautiful, i don't think I would turn one down, I do have my preferences of course, but all are beautiful. get the NRB, be bold and different, also the 4lt cashmere would kill in that color combo. good luck

Titanium interior is bad for any color. I just don't like gray interior.
The NRB color has grown on me, but there are still a few other colors I'd buy instead. I would go black, black/cashmere or black/red for the interior with it. The blue top (on any C6 color) just ruins it for me. Black top please.

I personally wouldn't buy any color without seeing it in person first. There's simply too much at stake. It's particularly important with Night Race Blue IMO. I've seen it in person in different lighting conditions and am amazed at what I saw. Believe me when I say that under overcast or cloudy skies it looks like metallic black; you have to look hard to see any hint of blue. The blue comes out a little more in bright sunlight but it's still easy to mistake for black. If you're looking for a color that is clearly blue and not black, I don't think Night Race is your color.
As for the interior, I'd go with 4LT for sure. My first choice would be all ebony with blue stitching. A very close second would be ebony/dark titanium (also with blue stitching). I wouldn't even consider cashmere regardless of exterior color - I just don't like it.
If you go with 3LT, you could get all ebony or ebony/titanium. (Note that the titanium in the 3LT is significantly lighter in color than the dark titanium in the 4LT.) In addition, with the 3LT titanium you could choose between solid titanium or two-tone ebony/titanium seats, with or without embroidered flags. Colored stitching is not available with 3LT (4LT only).
Here are a few pics of Night Race Blue. Decisions, decisions.

I know they have carried over other colors like LMB from C5 to 6,
so i guess we will have to see about this one if it's one year or multi generational.

Yea and that was an excellent Red metallic.
And to the OP of this thread curious as to what camera you were using (as far as MP go) or any other techy stuff about it, they are very good quality just wondering if the camera is how would you say 'leaving anything on the table"
I guess im just hoping it looks a little better when i see it in person

Looks great.I"m wondering if the 427 badge would be better placed on the fenders above the cove opening as it looks sort of bare.
