You got that right, it's the best color. At least we don't need asbestos pants on when the top's down in the sunshine.

I agree... black and light oak is probably the best.

I think black with light oak is cool too. I was dead set on black with black interior until I went and looked at my current Vette. It may be kinda blasphemy to say, but I think that it gives it sort of an exotic look, like a lamborghini or a Ferrari.
I really like mine. My seats are done though- cracks and discoloring. I will get new seats one day and I thought about going with black, but I may just stay with tan.
Sorry I can't get pics at the moment.

Well I'll go with the black and oak on the interior but bias towards Magnetic Red on the outside. Red still looks clean after you wash/polish it.

This car is my dream car.I have a white one now,but in about a year,im going to buy a black C5 if everything is right.I really would like to find me a black with oak interior 6-speed.Those cars are very very hard to find.Ive only seen a few in the last couple of years.But ive seen a bunch of black with oak interior autos.
