Can't beat silver. Just a classy color for a Corvette, especially the C7 which highlights those beautiful lines.

Personally I love my bladesilver vert.
Only 4% and it's such an awesome color, complimenting the lines and trim of the car.

All my previous Corvettes were red and loved them, but I love the blade silver on the C7

After searching local dealers inventory almost everyday for the last month on the Internet. I finally found what I wanted, they had it out in the back lot, with the interior still wrapped in plastic. Only 4 miles on the odometer. Fresh, no others folks test driving my new baby, just the way I like my new cars. Breakin done right! I always wonder when a new car has 20,30 or so mile on them, just how hard were those first few miles. Z51/LT2/A8

The plant will select cars at random, so it is possible to get a brand new Vette with 20-30 miles.

When I was at the plant, at the end of the line, I saw one of the employees spin the wheels for 7 or 8 feet driving it over to the alignment stand. He didn't care how he treated someone's $80,000 baby.

I really wanted, and would have gladly paid the extra $500 for red calipers, but when your hunting for a deal at the end of the year...

You can buy caliper paint in red and do it yourself, or take them off and have them powder coated.

Default Is that front "grill" a factory option? If so, which one?

Wow, I love that front "grill".... is that a factory option? If so, which one? I love that it does not have the chrome horizontal stripe, and love the brake air intakes on each lower side.

the reason that we don't see many silver is that it was the 8th most popular color in 2015 .see stats below


Blade Silver (GAN) 1791 5.2% 1047 cpes 287vert 308 z06 cpes 149 z06vert

I went with Shark Grey as I think it highlights the Kalahari interior better
than the silver.

Thanks....The front grill is a Z06 grill I installed. I also painted the brake ducts
an aluminum metal paint.....not wanting it to match the OEM silver but
to be a contrast and be more "metallic". Got lots of "No Like" comments on the duct paint... but have noticed a vendor is now selling Z06 grills with the ducts painted the OEM body colors....I still like how the paint accents the ducts and breaks up the big mouth of the grill.

I ordered the Blade Silver with Adrenaline Red interior with stock silver wheels. Old school no black wheels.
