Victory Red or Black?

I know the safer choice is black, you can do more with a black car. But however i think Red shows off the lines of this car a bit more.

If i get a victory red camaro, I will stick with the Midnight Silver RS rims. If i go for the Black i will upgrade to the Polished Rims.

I think the light colors look great with the midnight silver, while the darker colors look great with polished.

Guys help me out with this one, I would be doing my own custom stripes and Exhaust for the first year!

I say black because yes, you can do more with the color, but VR seems too bland. The red makes the car stand out, but you want the car AND the color to stand out.

I was in the same conundrum, but I've had a black car in the past, and it really is a PITA to keep clean. And, any ding or scrape is magnified on a black car. I can't tell you the pain I felt when I'd walk up to my car and see a new scratch.

That being said, black is sex.

Black...are you going to add any stripes etc to it. if so what color. Im getting
black and I dont know if i should stripe it or not. Black looks great with-out

Choosing YOUR Camaro is like choosing YOUR wife. It's a matter of taste. But it's something you will have to live with. Both the red or black would be great choices. I know for me..I never get tired of seeing my current car that is black with chrome wheels all shined up and ready to cruise. My Camaro choice is Black with 20" polished wheels that I WILL get chromed and Satin black stripes(ie. Knight Rider). Stealth Camaro!!

I ordered Victory Red w/ black stripes RS pkg. I plan to powder coat the rims black to match the stripes, matte or shiney.

I have had 5 black veh and still have my black 68 SS Camaro, but I order a red 2SS RS with polished rims, balck is the best but It will break your heart everytime you wash it and find a new scratch or rock chip.

red with black stripes is what I would get... if I liked red. Parents had black cars when I was younger and keeping them clean is a BEE-YOTCH!
