To the question of this thread... I'd pick yellow. You live once, be bold; plus, the yellow hue looks good on this particular car.
Strictly on looks alone I meant. I don't think hair color really actually influences a lifestyle or personality (humanwise).

Although my black Vette seems a bit stuck in her ways. Never shutting up and always raping asphalt. Anybody else have this problem? Hmm maybe its me... I think we all have this in common!

As for the car choice...it's up to you man. I can guarantee you one thing though, whatever color you choose, you'll look back at it 3-4 times maybe more every time you park it. Just the nature of these cars. With black, expect to spend more time cleaning but its quality time with the car for me.

That being said, if I ever get another...it'll %100 be Torch Red!!!

That's just BADA$$

How could you not want Yellow after looking at that? (I might be biased, but that's an awesome looking car).

I picked up a Millenium Yellow c5z06 in july and love it. I have owned a black car and must say when it is cleaned and waxed it is my favorite color. It just looks mean especially the blacked out look on the c5Z. But this time around I could not go w/black again just because of the maintaince. I use to have to wash the damn car after cruising around for a night. It shows dust right after the dang wash and keeping swirl marks out takes alot of polishing and waxing. On that note the Millenium Yellow has been so easy to maintain I could drive it for a full week everyday just bring out the duster and presto it looks great. You just get to enjoy it more. I dont regret my decision one bit. Yellow doesnt have that sinister look like black but it Pops and looks more exotic. Good luck!

Black... hands down.

The first few pictures were taken with a snazzy camera... don't let the SLRs and obvious photo retouches sway your opinion.

I have to admit that because I have a Black Z, Im a little biased. Ive seen some sharp yellow Zs, but a clean Black Z is BRUTAL!!! I also have to say that I see many more yellow Zs than Black and that kinda adds to the allure for me. For me its gotta be BLACK!!!

If you buy a black Z will you have any regret that you didn't get yellow? Or Vise/Versa?

I wrestled REAL BAD with Electron Blue or Millennium Yellow. The bottom line was this. I knew that every time I saw a Millennium Yellow Z06 I would be wishing that my Z was Yellow.

It's a Hard choice, Good Luck.

Well I am actually leaning towards yellow, I have owned black vehicles in the past, the last being my dodge pickup and I kind or remember thinking to myself black what was I thinking.

Back to the op, I had a black vette and you do have to work to keep it clean, but it was a labor of love and the results are worth it. You can't go wrong with either. They both can be stunning.

My .02...you've got to care for black or it looks rough. If you are willing to put forth the effort...black is awesome...if not, it'll just **** you off w/dust, dirt and swirls.

i vote for black, black is easy to keep up if you come up with a nice system that works for you, yellow is just not my thing. school bus is yellow and so is a taxi-cab,nothing against the yellow vette owners but yellow can rub people the wrong way.

Wow...dont get what color you like, get what other people says looks better...Makes perfect sense to me...

Imho tho yellow looks disgusting on any car.
