Black or yellow........isn't that a bit like the kid saying he'll either be an architect or truck driver
As for opins on black.......I love it......I think those wheels are a bit too 'utility' and a grey or slate accent there would help.

Downside........ black is beautiful clean........then ten seconds later, well.........also swirls, scratches, etc, are an on-going hobby.
I speek from experience.......black 911 & AMG (that even has all chome accents blacked out).
Good luck to ya.

Mike,

Get the black!! It looks so sinister in black.

Yellow looks awesome on the C5, but I dont like the look of it on the C6. They put too much grey/black plastic accents that just dont look good on a yellow car.. (IMO).

I am teeter-tottering on getting a black C6 Z06 myself. Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but might have one by the end of the year.

thank yall' i have a black 911 and its not too bad. i use the mr clean car wash system and it works great. just a sponge and an attachment you fit to the hose end. no shammy, no bucket, dries spot free. and yes these colors do seem diametrically opposed. just saw a new cobalt blue pic and that looks good too with polished wheels but my truck is blue. im not real big on 2 cars the same color. looking by fall, order #146. just read in new autoweek the new gt500 will have about 500hp and cost 40k! let the horsepower wars commence!!!

Had a black C5 Coupe once upon a time, great car! The new Z06 will be an exciting ride for sure! I read about that GT500, pretty sweet...but I could never buy a Ford product (besides the Ford GT)-- just always been a Chev. & Dodge guy.

Saw that a few days ago.
"...how much more black can it be?...none, none more black..."
Looks pretty damn evil. :v I never liked Vettes until I saw the styling and specs on the new Z06. What an amazing machine!! I'm debating whether to give myself a Z06 or M5 for a b-day present in the fall.

Peter,

Great minds must think alike, I too have been oogling that picture for many days since the original pshopper posted it. It looks fantastic. I'm eagerly awaiting the pricing for these cars and sincerely hoping they don't price it too high...
