Quicksilver or Electron blue?
I am currently looking at these two colors in my quest for a 02-03 Z06. I currently have a silver WS6, and love silver colored cars, but I have seen some photos of members car on here that were electron blue with black C5 Z06 rims and red grand sport stripes on them, and I am torn now.
My gut is telling me silver, but after seeing those electron blue cars I'm not sure anymore. Which would you choose?
Thanks, Jeff

EB is almost as bad as black when it comes to keeping it clean...also EB scratches really really really really really easliy....you can run your figure along the paint and scratch it
QS is opposite...hides scratches really well and is hard to tell when it's dirty....
I love EB but if you are buying for a daily driver then get the QS

Thanks guys for the input so far. Both cars I am looking at are in the same price range and are still stock. The car will be a just a weekend cruising car.
This is a pic I saw on here that has made my decision harder, it belongs to Z06TOM(hope he doesn't mind the pic being posted)

Electron Blue all the way!! Silver Is nice, but the Blue just looks much better I.M.H.O It also states that your Z06 Is a 2002 or 2003 where as silver could be an 01+ Not that that matters or anything..A Z Is a Z which = Awesome Ride anyway you look at It!
*You also say your last ride was Silver...You should switch It up and see how you like the Blue.

This is a question you really can not have others answer for you. All the Z06 colors are beautiful. I got silver because I like the way it kind of matches the silver wheels. Plus silver is the color of a machine and the Z is certainly a machine. It just looks more business like, like a jet or other aircraft.
I loved my black vette but it got dusty after driving down my driveway. Silver does not really show dust or dirt.

EB
Had both. QS get's boring. EB you don't get tired of. If you get the QS, at least get the red interior to bring a little life into the car.
And the Silver hides everything argument is good until you get a rock chip and try to fix it. Silver is almost impossible to match because of the different amount of metalflake. You can always see the repair. EB is less forgiving with dirt (Not that bad really), but I have had more luck making "invisible" rock chip repairs...
