I'm flying to Philly and picking one up at Kerbeck's a week from today. Black is the only color that naturally hides all the black trim/gobble-de-gook distributed over the car.
It is truly amazing to me how different a black C7 looks from ALL the rest for that one simple reason. But, I confess, I got EVERYTHING in black, hehehe.
I had a 13 black GS (My first black Vette) and recently followed up with a 17 black GS. It's true that black seems to be compromised sooner but IT IS a stunning color (?).
I had a black C6, I spent waaaaay too much time cleaning it, and I consider detailing my cars as "fun"... that car beat me.
Same with me, with my black C5. At first I enjoyed cleaning it but after 9 years (7 of which it was my DD) it got real tiresome. I'm also in the NEVER AGAIN camp. Black looks awesome when clean and swirl free but it never stays that way for long, and you have to be willing to give up a lot of your time to keep the paint swirl free.

Hope this helps. Was hoping to see your car at Carlisle, but spent a lot of time prepping mine for judging and every time I went down to the field, I somehow missed yours.
I told myself would never have a black car again then saw this c7 conv with the red interior. Well guess what I have now plus I did the aftermarket black chrome wheels love the look of them on the car.Robert

I am considering going with black and chrome wheels in the future, I'm just wondering how difficult is it to keep clean and can you still see the lines of the car ? Thanks!
Only way to go and not that hard to detail after very outing.

Let me try that again, not that difficult to detail after each outing. No swirls, no nothing, just deep rich black
Currently, I own a silver 08 Z06. I have had it for 7 year and love it, but I am almost bored with the color. I take great care of the car and the paint looks brand new. It's almost too easy! I have spent tons of money on Zaino, Adams, Chemical Guys, etc. searching for the difference maker, and they all make the car look.....good......but I miss the days of GREAT when I had a black BMW. In fact, I am getting ready to sell my Z06 and buy a black on black GS. I guess I enjoy the torture, even with a daily driver. Count my vote for Black!
