Add me to the silver C7 list. I just can't decide between the Red or the Kalahari interior...

I have had a Silver C5 and a Silver C6 nice color but never really stood out, But on the C7 with the black accents it really looks great. Kudos to all the Silver C7s on this thread they look great. My favorite is with black wheels.

Keep going back and forth between Blade Silver and Torch Red. Really love both in the pics, but ultimately seeing both colors in person will help make the decision.

Exactly my thinking. Wonder about brownstone also.

If decide to pull the trigger and get the C7, it will be silver, I'll post pics, and I may go with the Kalahari interior. I'm very struck by that combo.

Bmadden, I seen torch red in person and it looks AMAZING. I was surprised because in picture, I was not impressed (at all) and always though that in general, red was a "played out" color for sports cars. All this changed when I seen the red in person. The lines of the C7 are very exotic and the red just looks amazing on it. I had to keep telling myself I was looking at a Corvette, not a Ferrari. The black trim really pops and with dark tinted windows, it will look sinister. The car I saw had black rims and they really "worked" on the car with the black trim as well. Let me put it this way, someone who doesn't know or care about cars will think it is a Ferrari. Those that know about cars will have to do a double take.

I saw a white C7 the same day, side by side with the red, and my impression of white was that it was very fresh and sporty looking, but less intimidating than red. The car also looked bigger in white, didn't look quite as compact as the red. It also had the black wheels.

If I had to pick a color today, I would rank them as followed:

Sporty:
1) TR exterior, black interior, black rims
2) AW exterior, black interior, black rims (ordinarily I'd say red int, but GM continues to use a red interior that looks way too bright (IMO)

Classy:
3) NRB exterior, brownstone interior, silver painted wheels
4) CG exterior, brownstone interior, silver painted wheels

IMO, brownstone interior is, BY FAR, the best looking interior. I can't figure out why GM does not offer the same suede package on all their interior colors. It really is a shame.

I can't comment on Silver. Never seen it but have been told it gives off the same vibe as white.

You know, what I find interesting is the exact same shade of silver that looks so hot on the C7 is absolutely BORING on the Camaro...

I ordered the silver with gray. Not taking delivery (due in today). The dealer is low balling me on my trade. If someone is looking for silver/gray Z51, magnetic ride, proform. Exh., dual tops and nav PM me. It is a let down.

[QUOTE=DoTheyMakeOtherCars?;1585176252]I know you guys all like the black wheels and Z51, but as a girl that does not track the car, I wanted a different look. I love her and she gets a lot of nice comments, looks, photos, videos LOL. No problems and I am so happy with this car!

I love the silver cars. Silver fits the C7 so well.
