There was a black Corvette behind me today on the way to school. I couldn't stop looking in my mirror. It looked badass. Red just doesn't look good, unless it's the dark metallic red. The bright red screams "mid life crisis".

Don't get black. This guy in my building has a black vette. It looks gorgeous, but everyday he spends his free time washing it :D

One more moron heard from. People who know me know that I'm far from an American car fanboy (more of a German and Sweedish fanboy), but to call a 'Vette a "piece of crap" shows only that you are highly un-educated.
Eh, I guess the vette is ok if all you want to do is go very fast in a straight line, don't expect it to be reliable, and have a lot of money to burn. While it is certainly fast it is not nearly as tossable as the Z or an M3 and so, in my opinion, not nearly as fun. You will look better driving in it though if that is all you care about but that doesn't make it a better car in my book. I'm always thinking more practically than that. I just see every GM car as crap. I was not discriminating against the vette specifically. I just have yet to see, hear of, or drive an american car that is well built and reliable. But I guess for a vette that is "either red or black" that is not very important.

Well I put the poll because I honesly didn't know what color. But then I remember that I had a black car 10yrs ago and it was a pain in the ass to keep clean....so red won.

I did it....Ordered a Z06 coupe, RED. Will have delivery in the Chicago area in a couple of weeks. They didn't have a manual transmission red in the lot!!!!!

Cops like red... remember that.

You're such a troll, that Vette would run your Z into the ground, straight line or not.
