Top color ? Black or Gray
The two exterior colors I'm considering for the 2013 vert are either white or, cyber gray. Red calipers w/ cross drilled rotors. NPP, etc. The interior will be the tu-tone red/ebony. The build it now feature suggests a black top for both colors. I'm wondering how either car would look with a gray top ..........

well, you already know what I think about the white car--definitely a black top 
...
the black top would contrast more sharply with the CG car than grey top, IMO, but either would look OK...
but, it doesn't matter what I think...you've got to get what you really want !

It'll be worth it...I also think it's a killer car !
If I could have a 2nd 'vette, that's the one I would add, no question. But I'm not giving up my ZR1...
hope it all works-out for you, Mikey...!

If nothing blows up in my face between now and then, I should be able to pull it off.

If you get a white car, look at a blue top (34T) Gray with Cyber.

You can configure the car with all the combinations, and see what you like. The Cyber Gray with the (light) gray top does not look good - the black top looks better.

black is sharp contrast, and no care issues (re small creases that change [slightly] color). gray* is more subtle but goes well with many colors. blue is more contrast than gray*, but not as much as black.
don't forget D30 color combo overrride, the option. it allows you to put any exterior color together with any interior color, and any top color. it will then be completely your choice as to what you put together, a very valuable, 2008-first option (altho done before in the history of Corv. options list).
* imo, the gray top has a lot of blue in it and is quite far from a true, rather dull, gray. you may want to see one in person, in the sunlight first before selecting it.

In my opinion, either will look good, but I think black will look best.
