Can't confuse me. I am calling the dealer in the AM to set up a test drive. If the car checks out, and I'm sure it will as it is a Certified GM car, I will purchase as long as we can work it out. Only problem is I have to close on my new house before I pull the trigger. 3 more weeks. Hope it does not sell or they will let me put a "hold deposite" on it. Only has 9K miles on it and a few mods; white face guages, cat back, can't tell what kind it is but it has just 2 tips, large oval's.

After seeing my first Spiral Coupe in real life, I turned Gray. Once you go gray, you never go back!

Truly the most brilliant color combo.
PS: I'm just writing these lines to confuse your choice even more! Good luck, and you can be assured of one thing: whatever the color, you'll love your Corvette!
I went though the same thing but I got a mag/red/Vert/black top/black inside, a better color combo!!! The gray is cool only in the sun, no sun and its a grey car/conservative.

Don't have the coupe, but have a MSG vert. Good luck finding the right new ride!

My spiral gray in the sun has more sparkle then I have ever seen in a factory paint job; it doesn't show dirt or scratches either and it looks great with torch red interior.

If you want something different and stand out from the rest, this is the color to get! This color was discontinued in Apr 04. Of course I am bais because I own one however I have receive nothing but props! It is a show winner (place) everytime with torch red interior, which sets it out even more! There was only 200 torch red interior coupes built in 2003, which makes my combo even more rare!

Gray is my favorite -- didn't know about it until after I bought the pewter. I bought it from a friend who made me a great deal on it, so I woulda taken the pewter anyway. I'm hoping they do an MSG on the C6's in a couple years...

Even though my car is pewter I still think spiral grey is my favorite. It is very unique and as mentioned in the sunlight it is absolutely stunning.
