Regrets about Cyber Gray
Does anyone have any regrets about buying Cyber Gray? I had a Victory Red corvette last and now have ordered a Cyber Gray corvette. If Victory Red was still available I would have ordered it but I don't like Torch Red. I really haven't seen a Cyber Gray corvette that's clean yet so I can't tell if I'm going to really like it or not. Does it stand out or is it yet another dull looking color on the roads? I am really hoping I'll like this color cause I won't be getting a new car in a really long time after this. Thanks!

Here's the picture thread we had going. I have it and love it, but it does look dull on the cloudy, rainy days. Stunning in the sun though.

Its a great up close paint color, not an eye catching color by any means and it shows the dirt as bad as black does.
You want eye catching, you'll have to go with something alot brighter, of course the best being VY followed by AO and red!

Color choice is probably the most subjective choice you can make. It's totally a matter of opinion and preferences.
I recently bought a new 2012 Cyber Gray 1LT with Gray-painted wheels, for example. My preference (which is probably quite defferent from most others') is that I wanted to minimize the flash or "noticeability" by people who don't know anything about automobiles but think they do. I'm ashamed to admit that some of these folks are my acquaintences and even friends. The often have opinions and stereotypes that they are eager to share but I'm not eager to hear (e.g., the kind of people who drive Corvettes, why do you think you need 430 hp?...).
Also I personally think the CG with Gray wheels is a very understated but elegant look. I really like it and the only other color I might have considered is Black (which of course isn't available on 2012 1LTs).

Either color looks great...Nothing wrong with CG.
My only concern about CG (and Black which I own) is when in traffic the color blends in with highway. The Corvette has a low profile to begin with coupled with a dark color can make it an interesting drive when folks don't see you.
I really stay on my toes here in ATL when near other cars and trucks on these 8-10 lane interstates around town.
