The Camaro batmobile
So after the cut of my abm i had to change to another color so i called my salesman and told him id been deciding between black or silver and before i could tell him my choice he says to me in his austrailian accent "Wanna know my personal opinion mate? go with silver." he says "Im usually a fan of black on sports cars but with the camaro black seems to hide the lines and makes it look like the batmobile." personally i think it looks nice in black though too. in any color really but i went with silver not because of his words but because, as i stated before, black on gravel roads do not mix and silver is pretty hot too on this car.

I am not into black so much anymore. Everything that happens to the color stands out bigtime. Dings, scratches etc.
I love CGM. That color just looks badass, with darkened wheels. Everyone and their mother has silver. In fact, didn't I see a stat here somewhere, showing the highest % of Camaros are silver?

Silver has been the #1 colored car for over a century... If you like trend then get silver and if you like less trend then get black.

Well, black is almost a quarter of the sales, so it is a pretty popular color, even with the generous pallate of colors available to choose from.

Silver is one of the easiest to keep clean, hides dirt very well

I told myself after my last black car that.. never again! They require extra tlc to keep its beauty. I quickly changed my mind when I saw her sitting in the showroom. IMO, when clean, there's not another color thats as "menacing" as black. Just be prepared to take more time to keep her clean!
