Usually about 13% to 18% of the C6s made are silver. See post for which I have provided a link.

I had one. They don't show road dust & dirt very much.

Some pics on this website.

Pretty popular and a nice color, I think a bit easier to maintain as far as keeping it looking clean.

Machine Silver is the opposite of Black when it comes to maintenance. Very sharp with black see through roof. Would not swap mine for anything...

Default Love my black, but...

... I would trade it in a heartbeat for a 08 MS with CG wheels. Saw one after I'd already ordered my black coupe, and it's the only vette I've seen that made me have second thoughts.

This will be my last black car, vette or otherwise.

Of course, I said that last time, too.

MS looks sweet. And you'll spend a lot less time cleaning it to make it driveable.
