When black is clean, it is a spectacular color! It's just a PIA to keep it that way. My first Vette was black-- I loved it -- I hated the maintenance on it to keep it looking that way. Essentially one day and it needed to be tended to to look the same way.

My 2001 Quicksilver Metallic Z06 and my 2004 Millennium Yellow Z06 just would "look" cleaner a lot longer than my 1998 Black C5. Plus swirl marks were a lot less noticeable on the Quicksilver Metallic and Millennium Yellow. I'm just saying that the amount of time it took me to keep my black 1998 "looking clean" and not getting pissed of about swirl marks was a lot less in the other two C5 colors.
The jury is still out for me on the Laguna Blue, but so far it seems to be alot less work than my wife's black Abarth.
Don't get me wrong. I love black. It was the first Corvette color I bought!

Wow - way to go - two of my all time favorite cars. Both are beautiful and state of the mechanical art when built.
There have been hundreds, maybe thousands of cars that I have wanted to own - I should probably be in rehab - but you have two of my top 5 cars.
I have seen other people post here with C7's that also have a C2. Every time I am amazed at how much they are the same and yet totally different cars. Both are Stingrays with the same core values.
IMO they are two of the most desirable cars ever made, at least from the perspective of actually being able to own one.

Nice to have a pair of Vettes like that in the garage.
