The only thing I would say about black is that it is difficult to see the ducts in front of the rear wheels, since they too have black trim. I think most people identify Z06 vettes by the ducts and side emblems, and it might be slightly harder to notice in a black Z06.

But if you don't care what other people think, go with what you like best, which is the bottom line.
Black is more difficult than silver to keep clean.

I myself waited on an Electron Blue and couldn't be happier. The MY guys seem to think theirs is the best. I don't seem to hear a whole lot of "we're #1" bantor from the TR guys, but maybe they're just more humble. Black and Silver seem more basic, probably for the sole fact that there was a premium cost for the "special" color(s).

Good luck w/ your decsion.

Black is very nice color, but is the one color that is very hard to keep clean. So if you do not mind dusting and cleaning go for the black.

I have and love the silver Z and I always thought it would look great with a complimenting charcoal metalic or carbon fiber looking stripes. Just not brave enough to do it.
