Default Shark Gray

What is your option on Shark Gray? I feel that the color is too flat looking and needs some metallic.

Just this evening I saw it for the first time time in the showroom of a local dealer. NOT IMPRESSED! I was hoping for a "Pewter Gray". What I saw was....Heck, I don't what that was...

At first I liked it, looking at photos of the show, car under show lighting. Other photos since then made me not like it so much anymore.

Like it or not, the name is very appropriate... It is a dead ringer for sharkskin. Saw it at a Harrisburg Chevy dealer last week. That said I like the color - but perhaps too subtle for the likes of a corvette.

To each our own. If we weren't all different, they'd only make & sell one color. I like it, I bought it, I love it. Understated, yes, but I prefer it.

Saw several shark grays in recent visit to the NCM and assembly plant. I like the way it looks. It is a happy medium between cyber gray and blade silver. Looked particularly good when paired with the machined face black wheels.

I still need to see one in person. I had a Cyber Gray C7 and loved the color, I saw pictures of TSG for 15 and ordered a TR one instead.

From the pics I think it's too light for my taste.

The local dealer here has a coupe in Shark Gray. Saw it the other day and liked it a lot. Combine it with a red interior, and the car is stunning.

I think it is a great color. Cyber Gray was around for too long and I am glad they brought out a new gray.

Well, I have a Shark Gray 2015 Stingray (black wheels, mirrors, spoiler) and I love the color.

I don't love it quite enough to order it on the Z06, for which I am going back to Blade Silver, but it is a very classy color. My only criticism is that it dulls out considerably in low light. In sunlight it is a striking metallic, under clouds a little dull. I decided I wanted a bit more contrast with all the carbon flash bits. But it was a very close decision and I would have been happy with a second consecutive Shark Gray car.

I just saw my first one in person a few days ago at the Seattle Auto Show. Though I was prepared to love it, I didn't care for it. Way too much brown in it for my taste.
