I would go with Ebony because Cashmere appears to get that worn out look faster and scuff marks or any marks will show easier on Cashmere than Ebony. But If you have the top down all of the time and you have Ebony the dust will definitely show more than the other color.
I am in a similiar situation like you I can't decide between Arctic White or Victory Red. I have not seen the color Victory Red on the lines of a Corvette as this color is on constraint until November. Also the dual top option is on constraint for how long I don't know. The white would be the more maintenance free color as it hides the swirls all cars eventually get, hides the touch ups and nicks better than Red, keeps the car cooler. Red on the other hand shows the swirls and touch ups, blemishes easier. I don't know if Victory Red which is currently on the Monte Carlo is considered a high maintenance color like black but would think it is a second running to black because every car no matter what make or model Chevrolet included i.e. Z/28 and older red corvettes tend to fade over a period of time. I know "All Corvettes are Red" but they don't look good in red when the color red is faded out and showing all of the blemishes that you get on the road. Perhaps that 3M stuff X-pel would help in this case of Red??? I don't know but I do know if you want attention Red will get it and White is a more low profile "classy" color. The jury is deadlocked on this decision

Have you considered the red interior? I'm not sure how it would look, but just a thought. If not, I'd go w/ ebony...silver and black all the way baby!

Default Thanks guys

I think silver/red is a classic porsche and SL combination.
Red Int. is a very strong shining red but looking fine on pics.

Red/cashmere is typical Ferraristyle.

The grey Int. reminds me too much on japanese fastfoodcars
and some cheep looking plastic Chrysler Products.

But it may be all different in natural.
I would like to see all possible Colourcombinations in Person.

Anyhow, Bodycolour will be silver...
(I´m as stupid as before)

Black looks great but I find it gets too hot. I went with the gray. Red has a classic look but I thought the interior color mix got a little busy. Hey, its a Vette ... you can't lose!

I saw a silver with gray interior at Carlisle...there is just enough black in the door panels and dash to make it look great....Tracy's red look sharp too...

Mine is Silver with Cashmere. I think it looks really classy. The black and tan contrast in the cockpit is beautiful...though the tan does pick up shoe scuffs around the door areas.

I can't post pics yet (on dial-up too) but can email you a few pics slowly, if you would like. Let me know.

I had never really considered the Steel Gray interior until I saw it in person. Then I bought the car. I thought the gray with black accents looked just right. Either I'm getting old or have had too many black interiors, but I like the lighter interior more nowdays. Had Shale in 04, too light and showed marks too easily. Gray is just right for me. Have not seen red in person though.
