I think all of you on this thread should chip in for bribe money to send GM to get my M7 coupe taken off constraint. Then I will get my car faster and post lots of pics so everyone can se a WG GS quicker and make your build decisions. Just trying to help the team here.

GM got it right the first time with Cyber Gray Metallic. Don't understand why they got rid of it.

I like this color. Where does it fall in comparison to Cyber Gray and Shark Gray... lighter or darker? It seems to be darker, but it might just be the lighting.

Thanks for creating this thread. I have a Watkins Glen Grey on order with a TPW of 07/18/2016, I am going with the red hash marks on the fenders, red interior, black wheels with red calibers. I will add a carbon flash stinger strip once Im back home.

I did my buyers tour today and let me tell you the Watkins Glen Grey is a gorgeous color. Very happy with my decision and I am sure you will be also.

So Shark Gray Metallic is a warm gray and Watkins Glen Gray Metallic is a cool gray.

It's a subtle difference but there is a difference. Warm or cool colors.

I like the new WGGM color better IMO.

Funny, because I've seen a lot of Grand Sport threads and compared to the elegant look of the Stingray and the muscular look of the Z06, the C7 Grand Sport may become the obnoxious model due to the crazy color combinations and decal packages. Hopefully once I see a few more in person, the decal packages will look better, but as of now...

My WGG GS is ordered but the only striping is the exposed carbon fiber stinger stripe. Ground effects all carbon fiber too.......now if I just had a TPW!

I had a great time at the Corvette factory and my vehicle has been built. If there are any questions, please feel free to ask.

My twin!! I've got the exposed carbon fiber roof and dash also. The wait is killing me as I just sold my 2014 Cyber Grey. It leaves me this morning 😩😩😩. Guess I've just got to drive around in my wife's 2016 DSOM for a while.
