The ZR1 looks terrific in Black.

BTW, THIS is the real "Sinister Black":




Sinister Black Ale...
A Gold Medal winning dark ale...rich, complex but smooth and not too hoppy.
IMO, one of the finest craft beers made today.

I agree. An all black Vert would be awesome!

Have a Red ZO6 2015, have never bought a black car always thought they would show every scratch and would be hell to keep clean.

But here I am with a Black ZR1 with the ZTK package getting built early this March. Just love the look, with so many black elements already on the car

You know, I had a black C6 then went to a red Z. Seriously thinking about upgrading to the new ZR1 but will probably go another summer with this one and see how you early guys make out with the new beast.

I really do like the way this car looks in black...In fact, I like the way the Z06 looks in black too...Red was very fun and new but if I do upgrade, I really think it would have to be black.......That orange is pretty interesting also but thats for another page!
