Have owned 4 black Vettes in the past - 2 of them C5's, this is my first ever blue car - turns out to be my favorite. You can't go wrong with either color -

The metallic in the electron blue makes it awesome and it seems to change color slightly in different light conditions.

Both are great colors but black is harder to take care of (swirls,etc).I ordered the Electron Blue 2003.

I have seen a hand full of EB ZO6s and not one has caught my eye like a clean Black ZO6. EB would be a change of pace but why change something that doesn't need changing!
Get Black and never look back!
Cheers!
Justin

I have black, polished 547s and 1966 and '67 "427 badges (flags and numbers) and the car looks like something ARNOLD should drive in Terminator T3. When it is buffed out and clean, it just looks the best and baddest.

However, under the right lights, you will see all road nicks, surface scrathes, swirl marks, etc. and it is much harder to keep clean. So, if you are low maintenance, go with the EB Blue--a beautiful color for the car. If you do not mind the maintenance and repainting when necessary, go black.

I went with the EB and Torch Red interior. I like black but a) it is a nightmare to keep looking good and B) Black thens to hide a lot of the cars natural details. So for me EB was the better choice. (It's still a bitch to keep clean though) ;)

Are you kidding?? Park one of each color next to each other then decide. I don't think it will take you long!! :eek: :eek:

BTW, I of course agree with CyberNight's choice. See the picture link in my sig.
