All black looks the best especially with those blue calipers.

Unfortunately, the ZR1 isn't mine The ZR1 belongs to Youtuber 'DHR StreetSpeed' He may post further information about his ZR1 on his channel....

Looks good.... first one I have seen with the chromes. I noticed it was not ordered with the matching chrome emblems? Wonder if it is a dealer speculation car.

If $$ was no issue, I would certainly go with the Triple Black ZR1 ZTK with the blue calipers. That looks bad ***!

The third picture in this group is of my car. It was taken at a corvette meetup this past Saturday evening in Leander TX. So the three pictures are not all of the same car. BTW, my calipers are red.

The new Z looks amazing in black. I need to stop looking at this thread. I keep telling myself that my black Z is better looking and paid off. But I’m starting to cave. Maybe i can just send my kids to the local community college and upgrade my car.

Black w/blue Calipers look quite good. Maybe the best color combo but we haven't seen a BLUE ZR1 yet ....

The new Wing technology is long overdue. Never thought I'd see the day when we over take the snotty Europeans ... We finally dominate the world again in the Sports Car Market- Camaro, Charger, Hellcat, Corvette.

After looking at all of the pics, in my opinion, if going all black, go with the red calipers (and remove the "ZR1" logos).
As an alternative, black with silver painted wheels looks nice too (again, after removing the ZR1 logos).
Of course, YMMV.
