Completely. While I LOVE my QS Z, if I wasn't in such a rush to get in one, I'd have held out and bought EB. It is BY FAR my favorite color of all time!!!! That said, I get a TON of compliments on my car, and any time I tell people I'm thinking of having it painted EB, they tell me they LOVE the QS... To each his own, i guess.

When I was ready to buy a Z in late 03 I scoured the country for a left over EB. I could not find one. I ended up ordering an 04 in silver but it was definitely my second choice. I ended up selling that car after a year due to some job insecurity but when it came time to pick one up again it was EB all the way. This is one of the best colors ever!

BLUE ANGEL and dbirdz06, your EB z's are beautiful. Maybe because the first EB z I saw last week wasn't all cleaned up like everyones on here, it made me second guess the color.
Thanks everyone for your input, appreciate it. I am going to look at a silver and EB z's this weekend. Silver is still my first choice, but you EB guys showed me some badass looking cars, and now its getting tougher to decide.

I like the look of both honestly. When I was shopping for my C5, I was going after Torch Red, Mil Yellow, or EB. But didn't see too many EB's in person. So when I did, it was all over. That was the color to get. Plus, they where only made in 02 & 03.

To be honest, I like silver alot. A friend of mine who just happens to be **** about keeping his Z clean drives a silver one... the car looks fantastic with dark tint and the MR interior to set it off.
Toque, your car looks TERRIFIC with the silver wheels also!
BUT, when shopping for mine I came across the EB/MR combo and had to have it. I had seen it before in pics but never in person.
I like the way the EB "changes" in different light... at night in low light the car almost looks black, but hit it with some good light and it just comes alive. In bright sunshine it looks fantastic.
Good luck with your search! You really can't lose when buying a Z.
