I like black wheels, but not as much on black cars. comp gray for me. im planning on a red Z, with red calipers, and spectra gray wheels.

Visible cf for me. I think it's one of the only ways to add a bit of contrast to the black.

But no black wheels for me. I'm hoping the Z06 will offer something like competition gray for the wheels. If all they offer is the painted silver, it will be chromies once again.

Nice "little" brother...but it will always be "little brother"...

Here is a `ray with the dark red ground effects...aftermarket evidently.

I'd love to see it in black with some concave aftermarkets, like F14s or 360's.

Default black is the only choice for me

Black is the only choice for me . I have had many Black corvettes and a couple of times i have made the mistake ( for me ) of buying a silver or gray corvette that i convinced myself looked incredible . Until i parked next to a black one . I promised myself then i would never make that mistake again .

Is it more work ? absolutley but after a lifetime of working as a contractor , dusting off my corvette before taking it for a ride is the kind of work i truly enjoy and look forward to !!

full disclsoure , i have a cyber gray ZR-1 now but only bought that color as i received an exceptional deal trading in my 911 turbo s . I have a black Zo6 hopefully coming before Christmas .

Thanks for the photos of the Black Z06. Reinforces my decision to go with a triple black base Z06. I will be updating the front/side splitters to aftermarket oem copycat visible carbon fiber pieces. Also will add GM oem spoiler pieces for Stage 3 (Z07) like look...including the clear center wickerbill.
I will also add crystal red edge highlights to the front/side splitters as well as the vents (hood, sides) for visibility purposes. Finally, crystal red "SUPERCHARGED" lettering on both sides of the hood bump.

Here are some Black Z06 Videos:
The videos are what made my decision for me...just has a very masculine presence about it.
