For years, raising a family and not having the proper time to take care of a car like I want to, my philosophy was any color close to that of dirt and grime!

I since have owned 2 black and a a dark blue car. I'm about to have an 'oreo cookie' driveway when I get my black '02 Z. Since I was buying used, I knew that color had to be a lower priority than condition/features/fair price. In fact, I had no plans of buying a Z...until I drove it.

I really miss the color of my old '01 Cobra....mineral gray. Perfect color for looks, and it had to be filthy to show dirt, but I never drove it in the rain, so... I've had my black '02Z for almost 9 yrs, and I'm glad I didn't get a EB that I originally wanted. If I could change colors, and was limited to stock, it'd have to be TR, with mod red int.

I love the mineral grey color! Mariofromnewyork on here has his painted cyber grey and it's absolutely beautiful! Ill never know why they didn't offer the C5Z in more colors cause there's a lot of nice C5 colors.

I actually like spiral gray better than the cyber, but, no big deal. Another nice met. gray was on the '03 Mustangs; don't remember the name, but like mineral gray, it wasn't around too long.

If they had made EB in 2004 my car would be that color.
I'm very happy with the MS though.

They were mineral grey in the 03 cobra and was replace mid year by dark shadow grey. I think I've decided to look for a silver Z with mod red interior. They're really starting to grow on me!

White no doubt about it. I had eb for a year but the white just highlights the z's lines better imho. Glad I did the color change.

We have similar tastes...

I'd most likely do black again. However if I had the choice of a custom color it would be Jet Stream Blue from the C6 generation.

Black is a pain in the *** though, and C5's have a soft clearcoat so it's even worse.

Definitely a hot color combo. I love the red interior, except with maybe the Yellow exterior.

zeevette

Yeah, DSG. That was my favorite color for a long time. My buddy bought a F-150 in that color, but it just wasn't the same. I've lived with the black exterior for a long time, and it's not so bad, but easily damaged. I do wish I had the mod red int. Makes even silver bearable. JK

Ok done deal. I bought a Z today! It's a 01 silver with mod red interior. The car has 57k on it and I got it for $18.9k. It's super clean in molested (except for a skip shift eliminator) and just drove it home. I'll try and post some pics tonight!

Congrats!!!! Love that mod red interior!

Grimlock

What molested the car?

When I set out to buy my first Z, I was looking for Electron Blue. I looked hard and came accross a Torch Red car that was so clean I hadda have it. I since sold it and bought my current Millenium Yellow Z. I really like the color and its the color I wanted.

I actually dont like silver cars for the most part. Theres only a handfull of cars I really like in silver ans the Z06 is at the top of the list. I also like certain Mercedes and BMW's in silver.

Congrats ! You made a good decision !

Congrats on your ZO6!

I'd go with black again. Yes, it can be a pita to keep clean but when it is clean it's beautiful.

I was one of the people that was only looking for one color. I wanted Electron Blue and nothing else would do. I'd do the same thing if I had a time machine. An EB Z06 has been a dream since high school.

torch red. "all corvettes are red" afterall. I never get tired of this color!

Love my silver z, but would have held out for a millenium yellow or speedway white if I had had the time!
