I think a Z06 in that color with the red interior would look fantastic.

I figure you should keep it about 6-7 months before you sell It!

Same here. Placed the order one of the first days it was open for ordering. I was a bit nervous about ordering a colour I have never seen in person, but I've settled into my decision now. I'm thinking I'll be happy with what shows up on that car carrier.

I think the color really shows off all the curves and high points on the fenders and flares around the wheels .

The Shark Grey rocks! Plus, match it with a red interior, and you get a great combo. The new Z06 will have some different colors available (Blue interior), but I don't think you can bet the TS grey with red interior.

My car is Laguna Blue with Kalahari interior, and it looks great. THere's just something about the grey/red that jumps out at me.
