I've had mine since Nov. 4 and have put on 4800 miles. Afraid to look at the paint too close after this winter we had

Thanks everyone.

Maybe the new glasses I have on order will help me in situations like finding sticky color threads.

I ordered black and got green. I saw my Lime Rock green at another dealership the week before the black one I ordered came in. The black one is now on sale in Orlando at $9K over MSRP.

I have always lived black. My C6 is black. After several years of dealing with black I decided I did not want to do that anymore. I like my car spotless and that is a tall order with black.

Black is painful to keep looking good, but oh so worth it.

My last 15 cars have been black. No harder to keep clean IMHO. I wash my cars once a week--doesn't matter if I owned a white, red, yellow, black...once a week. Looks great. It however will not be my daily.

NOTHING looks better than black when clean. I opted for NRB (next best) because Tommy Jr had one equipped w/ the right gear and I was able to squeeze thru before the price increase

I was thinking black, decided on Night Race Blue with black interior and black top. I decided on silver wheels to brake up all the black and dark blue, Gray calibers to blend into the rotors. Hopefully we will see in late April!?

A month or so back, Harlan Charles said the top three colors are Torch red, Black and Artic White followed by Cyber Gray and Laguna Blue.
