Default Electron Gray?edit

well i finally purchased a car sight unseen , but i did get a local garage to inspect it!! he says it is in exellent order. it was a lot of stress buying it with out seeing it and putting the money into someones account you have not even met. it was a dealer but it still was nerve racking, hopefully im safe now because i have my copies of the purchase agreement, bill of sale etc...
So now (7-14 days) the car will be picked up by the haulage company (exotic haulage) and shipped to my sis then in 4-5 months it will arrive in NZ and that will be the first time i will get to see the 27500mile 2002 ELETRON BLUE 6spd vert with black interior and Z51. its been 8yrs since i said i want one, whats another few months. fingers crossed there are no issues. thanks guys for your imputs

======================================== ===========
looking for a late model 6spd vert, but cant choose between electron blue, or spiral grey, i know the end result is down to me but which one would have a wider appeal when the time to sell comes.

I think your only concern is to get the color YOU want...not what would sell better when/if you do that somewhere down the road!! Just focus on buying a Corvette...not selling it!

P.S. My choice is Electron Blue!

Your choice of course, but the Spiral is a great color. It was my second choice to Black.

Buy the color that trips your trigger - not the color that the "next guy" is going to like!

If you like them both (both are great colors BTW!) buy a coupe in one and a convertible in the other!

Take a long hard look at the picture of Glenns car. If that doesn't convince you then Electron Blue was never really a option. So it is easy to tell my choice is Electron Blue.
Happy Holidays

Barry after i put my EVOs on i couldn't tell any difference in performance from stock. the car seems to handel alot better but i lowered it all the way on stock bolts to so maybe that helped. I will be intalling z06 sways and blistien shocks this winter and it should be even better. I wanted something different than ccw,hre,bbs,iforge because everybody has them. My car is for cruseing and has never seen the track so it great for me.
Thanks for the for the way my car looks.
Randy

I'm probably a little biased, so I'll just say buy the color you like best.

Those were the two colors I narrowed it down to when I bought mine. I was buying new, so I went with the one that had all the options that I wanted. So, I guess I'm trying to say keep your options open and find the best car you can in those two colors. Either way, you won't go wrong.
