Which colour in your opinion compliments the ZL1 Front?

I took this picture in my garage today...this is my opinion but I think the Victory Red really brings out the ZL1's beauty the most...red against the black really stands out...I also like the white... but I like the ZL1 no matter what colour it is...its just a mean looking ol' thing. In the end , its your own personal decision I guess...and what you think should matter the most...what's your opinions about the colour choice? cheers

My opinion is that Crystal Red Tintcoat compliments the front end the most. I too like the look of the red with the black, but I like the darker red. To me, it gives a more sinister look.

This is how you spell "COLOR" I like silver ice because I thought it brought out the Black best. I guess that is why there are different COLORS to pick from.

He spelled it just fine. Take a look at where he is from as well. It is common for it to be spelled "color" in the U.S., and "colour" in foreign countries.

But in Alberta, colour isn't in a foreign country, the U.S. is. I guess it's all in your perspective.

I personally think white brings out the contrast of the ZL1 grilles, etc. the best, silver a close second, and yellow and red/crt right there below that. IOM looks pretty good too but I'm not a big fan of the IOM itself.

The blues, grays, and black probably don't do it much justice.

I went with Victory Red because I thought it looked the best with the black. Lately I've been appreciating Silver Ice Metallic as well.

Very good question. Honestly I'm not a fan of red but yet I own a VR, lol. But I will say VR and or Black. An all clean black ZL1 just looks sinister...

Wow. He is in Canada. I was addressing a person in the U.S. Canada is a country outside of the U.S. That makes it a foreign country to the person that I was addressing.

I have to agree about the CRT, although I'm a huge fan of blue & black. The CRT brings out the lines best.

BTW, here is the definition of "colour" from dictionary dot com. The word is legit either way.
