Definitely pass on both of these options, and go with "Scarlet & Gray"

I ordered my first C6 (coupe) silver with red interior. Seven months after getting it, I came across a deal on the car I have now. I still miss the red interior!

If 2-tone, I'd definitely go Titanium, even if not 2-tone. Black is boring to me. Got tired of the lack of contrast w/ the black interior of my old G-35 coupe. I went 2-tone red/black in my VR coupe.

Yup...if I did it all over again, I'd get exactly that! My next Vette will definitely be that combo, no doubt. Silver is much easier to keep looking nice, and even though some think it's dull, when it's Zaino'd up, it has a gorgeous gloss too it and Silver always looks very sleek. Combine that with the more exotic blk/red interior and it spices the car up just right without being too flashy.

(by the way that wasn't mine in the first reply...mines black on black)

Have to agree, I have red in mine. I've been thinking about stripes too, but haven't seen any red ones, only black. Yours look awesome!

Ebony...there is a reason that far more Machine Silver C6s are made with the Ebony (at least from what I have seen at dealerships and car shows)...it is undoubtably the most widely appealing combination.

The others all look great too...just have to make a judgment call.

I went Ebony and have never thought twice about that decision. Good luck.

I have the black interior and I'm getting ready to install the two-tone seat covers.

yes to both!

Thanks everyone for your input

I really like the two-tone option. Think I'll have to expand my search to see what is available out there in two-tone.

Thanks again

Anyone seen this combo? Is there enough contrast between the colors or does the interior get "lost"?

Thanks for you opinions

I have the MS/Steel gray. I went that way primarily because ebony would be so hot in Texas. I get buyer's remorse sometimes that I didn't get a red interior. But everytime I looked at a red interior when I was shopping for my C6 (usually in black cars), I just never like it.

So, it doesn't matter. You'll get one thing and wish you had the other. That's life! There are plenty of members pics of MS cars with red, silver and ebony interiors. Just go with your gut.
