Another CGM Z51 owner here. Mine has AR Competition Seats, 2 LT.
I had the Silver Wheels and just had them Powder Coated Gloss Black.
Changes the look of the Car more than I could have imagined.
With a one year only color, I guess this means we now own Collector Cars.
If I'm not mistaken, I think the 2015 Z06 will be available in CGM.
I have no idea who comes up with these changes at GM or why.

Damn, this change from CGM to TSG may ultimately force my hand on a decision.
I've also read that the 2015's may also get the Start-Stop technology. Things like radar detectors and such would require adapters to stay on when the engine shuts down at idle. The SS tech may also force my '14 vs '15 decision, especially if you can't disable it upon start-up.

The new gray is also light enough to drop silver which may lead to another color all together.
Also... GM hasn't really gone with sales to depict colors. In fact it could be inverse of sales that causes them to change the color to keep the cars looking fresh on the road. They have continually dropped some very high selling colors for who knows what reason. They also change up popular colors for what seems like the hell of it (going back and forth between Torch Red and a darker red; going from bright white to a more subdued white, etc.) Even though the sales / desire means colors like Torch Red and Arctic White are the ones that sell it seems they mix it up for a couple years just because.

Are you sure that you will lose electrical power if the engine "takes a nap" at idle? It seems to me that all things electrical will not go away. If the radar detector is wired to the fuse box, why would it go off?
Inquiring minds want to know.

On the cars I've rented in Europe that had it installed, I didn't find it intrusive. Maybe because I just turned it off when I thought it might be. Also, traffic signals with a warning yellow light prior to a green light meant no delay at the light as I'd put it into gear on yellow which automatically restarts the engine. US signals don't have that, but they should.
