Blick with black rims and red rally stripes. The only Camaro I've seen in person was a black LT/RS. She was looking SHARP!!! It has polished rims and no stripe package.

If I had to pick red or black I would go with black. Yes it can be at times to keep it clean, but I think the BLACK Camaro we have seen in photos looked so much meaner than the LS7 Red Camaro.

I would agree that it depends on your preference. They are both great colors. I ordered Victory Red, black interior, RS package with polished rims. That's me. Black can sometimes be a challenge to keep clean, but maybe not if you keep it in the garage. Good luck with your choice.

You can't go wrong with either color. If it will be a daily driver I'd go with red, if not I'd choose black. For me my current camaro is red so I want something different this time, otherwise red would be high on my list as well as black.

I’m ordering black with the 20’ polish upgrade I think this combo will look sick… I am also doing the gray/black interior and the silver interior accent package I think this combo will break up the black just enough and complement the polished wheels. I swore I would not get black after selling my trans am but after seeing it w/ polished wheels its just sexy… and yes I also will be doing stripes on my own… good luck!

Also we all know the labor it takes to keep a car clean much less a black car but who here really will not be washing their car over a period of weeks just because of the color? I can assure you regardless of color you will want your baby to shine!

Nuff said sexy!

I've never had a Camaro that wasn't red. My 76 was two tone. Red body with a black hood and top from the factory. That was my favorite color combo of all the Camaros I have owned. This is an early pic before the polished wheels and new tires.

Get what makes you happy. Do you have a garage? It get's hot there but nothing like down here near the southern border. Black cars have almost killed me before (getting in and it's like 400 degrees when sitting in mall parking lot for hours on end).

It's like gahhhh..

I have a vic red S10 Blazer and the paint has held up well and still looks good. (biased).

My first car and first Camaro was a red with black stripes 68. I ordered a Victory red and plan on having the stripes painted on because I do not care for the short ones.
What year was that shot of your Camaro taken ?

Close! Probably 90 or 91. Had the car for several years and this was right after I got it. I rebuilt and upgraded the 350 that came with it but the problem with this car was the factory 2.73 gears. Once I swapped out that rear end everything was great. People hate 76's because if I am correct, the fastest Camaro produced that year only came with 165bhp. That was definitely not the case here. Can't tell you how much I wish I still had it. If anything just to give it to my son when he turns 16.

This is just about exactly what I want! I want a black 2LT/RS with red two tone interior. But I want to get black 20" rims with red brake calipers
