Default Best Z color??

Currently have a silver C6. Looking at a Z should I go VR with chrome wheels, or Black with Black wheels?!?!

Any pics appreciated!!!

Best Z color: Whatever color that's in your garage.

Another answer, I believe a Jeff Gordon quote, but I may have that wrong is "It doesn't much matter what color it is from where I'm sitting."

It WAS Jeff Gordon, and that was from the Speed Channel's Test Drive of the Z06.

I like the red, but also like the silver and may like the new blue when I see it for real as it is a tintcoat to change in the light. My last three cars were silver or pewter, so I personally lean toward the red or the blue. Black looks great , but only if you carry a duster in your back pocket to keep it looking that way. Tough to maintain, as is the now discontinued Lemans blue.

As my kids say, "I'm old school" My Z06 has got to be Victory Red! Women love it, so that's okay with me.

DSOM. I just showed my car at the Lone Star Corvette Classic at Texas Motor Speedway. I had a lot of other owners come by and photograph the car. If I can attach a picture I will.

No luck

I like the white too! Premium? The additional amount charged by Chevrolet was very reasonable. The additional dealer profit added by most dealers however is exhorbidant!

Black no question about it with red interior. Each to his own though and it a person loves it great no matter what the color. I think a nice deep green a la the old "British Racing Green" would be nice on both Z06 and regular C6. Gonna have to paint it myself though to get that color.

Get notified of new replies

To Best Z color??

Default Victory Red w/Chrome




Although the Silver is real nice and the AO is awesome on these cars as well.

As others have said, ANY Z is awesome to have.
