White or Black Z?
 
Very curious as to which one is liked more.

I live where it gets over 100*. Never black. Every new car I bought since 1994 has been white.

I love black, but I'm done trying to keep a black car looking good. Doesn't work for a daily driver.

I've had a lot of black cars. I want a white with red interior z but if I find a good deal on a black, I might just get it and vinyl wrap it white.

My Black wheels are enough to remind me of the extra care and cleaning black requires. But it looks good and also shows every single little chip.
White or Silver was my choice and after LONG THOUGHT.
I went with silver.
After seeing white in person at the dealer confirmed my choice.
Then only 310 silver in 2015 never looked at 2016 total yet.
Ton of red, black, white, gray, Glad I went with silver.
Color is a personal choice!

I have 3 cars and they're all black....the black Z06 is the latest in the stable. Keeping these vehicles clean is a full time, sometimes thankless, job. I dearly love a black car, especially on a cloudy day....when it's clean, no other color can touch it. I have a friend with a white Z06....a very pretty car and much easier to take care of then mine is. Kind of like my wife, this new black Z06....she's high maintenance

black cars are magnificent looking when totally clean, but achieving that is a career (had three of them)...so white for me !

I like the looks of a black car, but bought an Artic White Z06 and love it.
Last black car I had was a 1969 Chevelle SS 396. Sure wish I still had it.

Even easier in Western, PA....we rarely see the Sun! This is the only place I've ever lived where the suntan lotion expiration date comes up before you use all the lotion! We have less sunny days than Seattle, believe it or not and that's a sad fact!

Favorite b/n those two - to look at or own?

To look at, nothing beats a clean black sports car. I owned one once. Once.

To own, b/n those two, I'd take white.

Black was my first choice, but I already have two black vehicles and I didn't have the energy of maintaining a third. So, I purchased white... with black accents. If you enjoy detailing, get black. There's nothing nicer when clean :thumbs:

T-Z06-J 04-28-2016 11:32 PM

Judging by sales the winner is White. But I love the Z in black!

foreverfuelie 04-28-2016 11:42 PM

I love the "mono-chromatic" look. All others look as if all aero and vents are JC Whitney add on's. JMHO.

If I saw that exact Z06 under showroom lights, it would be hard to pass up! :yesnod:

However, I've owned two black daily drivers and know how hard it is to keep them looking good so I don't fall for the showroom bait. :lol:

I vote for the Arctic White with Adrenaline Red interior. That combo pops and I luv the paint contrast against the Carbon Flash vents.

To look at and admire: Black
To own and keep clean: White

DevilDog II 04-29-2016 07:55 AM

As others have said, black is a hard color to beat when it's clean. I had a black Mercedes years ago as a daily driver and finally sold it because it was too hard to keep clean. All of our cars are white, including our new Z06. :cheers:
