I had a black sports car once.

Once.

Never again - full time job to keep up. Love seeing them, though, as most of them are stunning.

Oh man the offset on those carbon wheels is so bad and way more noticeable on a black car.

Black hides the wishbone and the z07 spoiler, which for me is a good thing

I normally like black sports cars (though would never own one due to OCD on my part). This one however, I don’t like at all

If I go the black route..The first stop would be paint correction, Modesta and full car PPF...

I do not think that looks good at all...

I guess that in general, I still haven't warmed-up to all those lines of the C8 - nothing flows, just intersects.

However, I will wait until I see the C8Z in person before I make a final judgment.

Black does this car no favors at all, I was extremely unimpressed the first time I saw one in black versus the other colors.

not sure what your point is? Because the F8 has a terrible offset the Z06 gets a pass? I’m through and through a Vette fanboy but let’s call a spade a spade. Seems like the GT3’s have no problem getting stance/offset correct. Frustrating I have to plan how to correct the flaws before my order even goes in.

I absolutely love black cars. But, if I ever got one again, the first thing I would do is get it paint corrected and have the whole car PPF'd and ceramic coated. No more swirl marks and the car will come clean easily. Although I do agree about the offset of those carbon wheels. I think some aftermarket monoblock wheels with a proper offset will make that thing look wonderful.

Looks like Ferrari has an extreme case of 4x4 ride height too - what's up with that?

F8 legacy will not be that strong. It was just a V8 stop gap before the (beautiful) 296 and the unfortunate move to the V6.

I love the AR dipped interior from the outside on neutral exterior colors like black, white, silver, or grey. This looks sick in my opinion.

I agree it does look great. I don’t know if I could buy black but that’s an amazing combo.
