I think Silver shows more of the tiny gaps on the corvette lines. If you have bigger gaps than normal I think the Blue or any dark color would hide them better. Just my opinion~

The wheels are the factory silver wheels that were sent off to have chromed.. I didn't do it, the previous owner had them done.. They are the bald center cap w/ black lug nut covers.

If EB is way too-flashy-look-at-me, Torch Red and Millennium Yellow should be made illegal

Sure, but there's no need to be an attention horse about it.

Ya Hoo go for Blue

Although I do believe that the QS is easier to keep looking cleaner, but it will be just as dirty as any other color
and I think that the silver and or gray color cars are most common color out there

Here's a couple reason to go with EB





But all in all it's your choice, so do what you want

Happy Motoring

Yep,like the Blue.I have an 02 Quiver Z and love it.Cool as white in the southern sun means a lot to me.

But I could have 2,I'd have Black.My favorite color since the Days of Dale(3).

EB Z06 but yes, it's probably harder to keep clean than silver. My other car is silver...

I originally wanted the QS and then I looked at the EB and ended up with it and ALWAYS get compliments on the beauty of the car however, the choice is yours, whatever makes you the happiest

Damn, you EB guys are making it tough to decide on which to get. Your cars are incredible looking. I think I am leaning towards QS though. Not because it's easier to keep clean, but I think silver looks damn sexy. It seems very clean and sleek to me. Throw some tint on the windows and maybe some CCW sp500's and I might have a winner.
