Actually...53% of all 2014 Stingrays built were 3LTs.

Pictures look so different than in person, you can definitely see brownish & greenish base under the grey. I changed my seats to black since I was not happy with the red on this color. I miss Cyber Grey (My old C7 Z51) and now I am thinking about changing the exterior of the car to red with black interior. I want Cyber Grey back, your pissing me off GM.
You are going through the same douts I went thru. This color is a huge inprovment over CG. My car was parked next to a CG car last week at a Cruise and No one was picking the Cg over the Shark Gray.

The Cool part of this color is how much it changes in the defferent light.Don't give into the CG croud that hates that GM made the right choice in giving a color with more contrast to the Carbon Flash & Carbon Fiber accents. I had the CG on order till I saw this color. I'M SO HAPPY I MADE THE CHANGE.

The same thing is true of every other metallic color (including Cyber Gray).

I am so tired of Black or Grey interiors. They are so boring to ME. I know this is a very individual choice so I respect those that feel differently. I would like Adrenalin Red, Kalahari or Brownstone because they are different.

Respectively, I am in the "very strongly dislike it" camp. To each their own but I love the look of FCCVPMAN's with the red seats. If I were going shark gray, that would be the combo I would choose. But as has been said numerous times in this thread already, taste is subjective.

IMO, the best color for TSG is Grey. Black too boring. Kalahari seems odd looking. AR too "Red", detracts from the overall look. Brownstone . TSG/Grey = Very Classy.

very classy combo
way better "gray" than last years CG gray
last years gray reminded me of the gray you would find on a Camry
I bet the sunset orange and the brown interior would look bitchin'

Classy belongs on a Cadillac not a sports car. I cannot see this combo being very popular since it gives a new definition to boring.

I get brownstone isn't for everyone. It's also one of those must see colors in person. I have NRB with Brownstone and wouldn't have it any other way. That's the great thing about options, each can select their own!

After seeing the brownstone in person, it is now my favorite interior. Too bad they don't offer it in the Z06. Maybe calamari (I know I spelled it wrong but that has somehow stuck with me).

That's because Calamari tastes so good! LOL

[QUOTE=RickConti@Coughlin;1587933052]I saw the New Shark Grey in Detroit during the Z06 reveal....I knew the Brownstone interior would be amazing on this new color, could not wait to order it....the new color is awesome regardless of interior..

Rick, Want my honest opinion? NAH!
Going with Adrenalin Red for my Shark Gray.

Went with gray this time, never was a big fan of red and it seem that most have black, looks nice and is not the same as most have.
