OP, your car looks great next to the ZR1 but park it next to one that's other than Sebring Orange, has a low wing and anything but those black wheels and it's a completely different ballgame. The bottom line is that it's all a matter of personal taste and opinion.

I just bought my 2019 z06/z07 3 weeks ago m7 black on black and when I was picking up the car there was a black on black zr1. For me the orange color they are advertising it and you can see above is horrendous and the whole car looks ridiculous but... in black on black in person I really loved it!
the $50k dealer markup notes much though

The ZR1 in the right color looks really good. Black with small wing. Otherwise the Z06 looks better in most colors

From a pure looks perspective, I like the lines of the Z06 better. However, I do wish the low-wing was an option. I think it looks better than the Stage 3 rear spoiler and wicker bill.

Exposed carbon fiber hood option would be the way to go on a ZO6/7

I like the big wing personally, but I definitely prefer the more subdued look of the Z06 front fascia.

I wouldn't mind the ZR-1, but it's too hard getting my son's hockey bag over the wing.

I like the front end and the raised hood as well.

It's nice to see that this discussion has remained civilized. Pretty sure if I'd posted the same thread in the ZR1 section it would have been a lot of "Z06 sucks, ZR1 rules" type of comments.

haha, my son loves when I take him to his hockey games in my car. Nothing like a big smelly hockey bag in the back of the vette.

I was looking hard at the orange when I bought my '19, but then I remembered that my C6 was Atomic Orange and that is still my favorite Orange Color

As for the rear wing, the side vents and the wheels I definitely like what's on my Z06 more, but I can see how some might prefer the outrageous looks of the ZR1. It's obvious that they wanted to differentiate the ZR1 from the Z06 after they were basically identical in the C6 generation. I'm just not a big fan of all the choices they made.
The front of the ZR1 looks too bulbous to me, and I don't care for the side vents, spoiler or wheels. I guess it's all a matter of personal preference.

It is Admiral Blue, last seen in 1996 - always loved that color as my favorite Corvette Blue. Admiral Blue is the early '19 standard blue color which was discontinued recently. I hade to look really hard and long to find a Z06 manual transmission Admiral Blue with Adrenalin Red interior. I think the one I bought is was one of the last available new ones. And my interior is actually a combination of Adrenalin Red and Black with red seat belts...
