It almost looks brown, pewterish??

Looks like a normal grey - a bit too tame and no pop the way Cyber Grey had. More like a slightly darker silver.

But hey I'm biased.

Looked great when I saw it in person, my wife loved it and gave me the Green light to order a Z when she saw this car. I think the SG with Black wheels is going to look badd axx...

I have a Cyber gray C7 and I would never have ordered that color had I not seen it in person. but, it is striking when the sunlight or nightlights hit it. I am trading up to the Z06 as soon as available and though I have not seen it, my son saw the car in Kansas City a few weeks ago and fell in love with that Shark gray color. Mine will be Shark gray with adrenalin interior. Probably Chrome wheels. Just my thoughts.

Trying to compare the Shark Gray with both the Pearl Nickel and Black wheels......
Personally the Black dulls down the Shark Gray car a bit too much.

I just put an order in the system for Shark Grey, 2LZ, Jet Black Interior with Silver Nickel Wheels and black calipers, etc. I saw this one at Sebring. The color is beautiful but I didn't like the dash. That's why I ordered the black interior. Too me, the red calipers are getting tired like the chrome wheels unless they are on the right color but to each his own.

Thank you! That is what I like to hear. I order tomorrow and I am so torn on exterior color. Everything else is set but I am so confused on the right color. Its for track purposes but still, I just don't want that gray to be a "depressing" color.

Outstanding order as I have that same setup ready to go with 3LZ. The pearl nickel wheels really light up that gray car! I agree with the red calipers and have the black set also along with the black interior.

I like the color I just think you caught it in a angle of the sunlight that doesnt show it off correctly.

Just remember that color is so very subjective. Someone is not going to like what ever color you go with. Personally, I can't imagine the orange color, but no doubt it is beautiful to many others. I love my cyber gray C7, but I'm sure I have friends that think I made a mistake. In the end, you pay for it, you drive it, buy the one you want(ok, maybe the one she wants) LOL

The first C7 I saw in person was cyber grey with black rims. When the dealership told me it was sitting in the showroom, I took a drive to go look at it. On the drive over I thought the black wheels on the darker color body would look awful. When I finally saw it in person, I thought it looked incredible. Pictures cannot do it justice. It looked absolutely sinister. To this day, it is the best looking Stingray I have seen. You cannot judge this combo in picture...it has to be seen in person.

Shark gray is a little lighter in shade apparently, but the combo should still have the same effect.

I know...I picked up on the sarcasm. Just thought I share that the combo is one that truly needs to be seen in person before dismissing.

Congrats. I just called my local dealer in Florida (Roser) and they already have the allocation they THINK they will receive booked and about a half a million people (apparently) on the wait list. They didn't even ask if I wanted to get on the wait list...I had to ask them. if I buy from them, I might see the car by the time the C8 is introduced.

I've never bought new...can I buy from another dealer and have them ship it to my local dealer? Is that possible?

The more I see these pics the more I'm hating the ground effects. It just makes the car look way too busy.
