Black is sweet when it's clean but it's hard as hell to keep it that way. I would say go with victory red unless you like constantly cleaning your exterior.

Victory Red! I had a 2011 VR SS and I loved it. It looks great on a ZL1, so between your two choices I gotta go VR (though I love my AGM also)!

Agreed.....Arrest me Red stands out so much, and Black is impossible to keep clean. IMO, silver with the CF hood and black wheels is the best color combo.

Black looks awesome when it is detailed and swirl/scratch free... which IS a full time job without question. If you don't love to clean/detail your car every time you drive it, get red. EOS.

I love black and have 3 other black cars. I felt that with the black plastic of the front grille, splitter area and the rear diffuser and rockers there wasn't enough contrast. I went with the Victory Red.

I always buy black cars despite the shortcomings of the color. My DD is black too. Victory red looks great on the car as do other colors, but black looks pure evil. There are no wrong color choices on the car.

I was down to the same two colors when ordering my 2013 2SS. Decided Black was going to be a ***** to keep clean so I went with the red. And let me tell you, it turns some heads for sure. Great color red.
