White
Victory red

In Arizona white is the most practical (it helps keep the interior cooler). I also Love the white here.. the bright sun really makes a bright white stand out (especially if its clean/waxed)

I may paint mine like the IVER at Indy

Yeah, I wouldn't have considered white had I not seen the white w black rims. I think by itself white looks a little boring. But with some contrasting color accents, like black rims, red painted calipers, black leather interior, with red trim. And some sort of black stripes. I think it would look really nice when all together.

I'm set on silver, although I really do like the black. However, black is hard to keep clean, shows dust and pollen in no time, shows every little nick and fine scratch you have, swirlmarks, etc. But it is I believe the best looking color car when it is detailed. My Formula V-8 vert was black and was sweet when it was freshy polished!

Silver is a good color, easy to clean, good shine (especially metallic paint),looks clean despite having dust on it, scratches, nicks and swirlmarks show up less noticeably. but to each their own.

Camaro by Monet?

I feel like striping is necessary for white pony cars. Really the only one that can pull of white without any help is a Challenger, and that's only because of Vanishing Point.

However, blue striping complements white especially well.

When i was 21 i sold my 68' and decided to get a late model Iroc-Z. White just popped in my head. Well it was like looking for water in the desert. About 80% seemed to be red. And i didn't want red. I finally got a white one...and then got in a wreck 9 months later. A month later i bought a...red one. And had it seven and a half years.
Yeah, white is at the top of my list. I don't think it looks particularly good on first gens, so i hope it looks good on the 5th.

I don't know, there is a guy that has a white one in my neighborhood with no stripes and it just looks big, bulky and boring, and I swear it looks like the wheels are placed slightly inside wheel wells--not as wide of a stance as the Camaro.

Agreed 100%. Black is the best, but just too much maintenance involved. And just with having two black cars before I'm done with black for a while...

It's really between white & silver. But I like all of the colors on the Camaro. I also like yellow and inferno orange too but the cops will be getting to know me even more than I want...

Haha... perhaps... Although French Impressionism wasn't my favorite period in art. Maybe a Andy Warhol edition Camaro? Haha.

You planning on getting one when it first comes out?

CHVY4LF · 09-23-2008, 12:23 PM

the white is very nice, and i would look good with the rims blacked out. I wouldn't do white because i have had too many white cars but it would look good.

Big_Country · 09-23-2008, 01:54 PM

I have a white 94 Camaro with black stripes and black corvette rims. It looks great (not that I am biased or anything

) and I am tempted to get the same colors with my new one.

Cessna510 · 09-23-2008, 02:24 PM

White looks great! I'm thinking about white with orange stripes..I have a die cast with that combo that looks great!
