Default The Sinister Black C7 ZR1 Thread....

Okay, since I'm the Dude that started the 'Sinister Black C7 Z06 Thread', I thought that it would only be fitting to start the 'Sinister Black C7 ZR1 Thread' too....






Stay tuned......

So EVIL, I love it, definitely the way I'm going over gray now. The black paint quality from the new paint shop looks awesome. We'll need to see it up close, but looks really smooth in the pics. The close-ups I've seen of the orange car ironically seem to have very little orange peel, so that is promising.

I love a black car and currently own a 2010 GS black vert. My opinion (and we all know how those are) is that this car has so much carbon fiber that black hides those features. I am on the waiting list for the new ZR1 and have debating what color I want for some time now. To me, that Seabring Orange really makes the carbon fiber features pop. JMO

Love the black C7ZR1. It looks like Darth Vader designed it. Can't wait until I see one on the track.

Wow, just Wow! Super Impressed. I CANNOT wait to get mine. I haven't been this excited about a car in a very long time. Ok, well, since I got my C7Z in 2015 I guess...

Absolutely gorgeous... but I swore I wouldn’t get another black car after my 2014 Z51 triple black drove me crazy. As much as I love the pics above I’m gonna go with the new Sebring Orange package.
