Best ZL1 Color

jimbo11 · 04-25-2017, 10:12 AM

Looks like Krypton Green is an impossible find near me, so looking at other color options: Dealers near me: white, black, hyper blue, red hot....Opinions and best looking color?

Black (non metallic) is best, it make car looks sinister and mean and gives it a stocky mono bloc appearance. Other colors by showing the contrast between the black aero bits make car look more slender and elongated. More elegant but less macho and menacing...

If you want Krypton Green and can make a deal for it out of town, do it and fly one way, drive it back. I have purchased my last 8 cars that way.....the drive home is always awesome and a great first experience with a new car.

I had a hard time with color choice. I love black and have a black 72 nova that's real nice but it is a nightmare to keep clean!! I went with nightfall grey and love it.

^^ I agree 100%... That would be an awesome trip! One of the Members just did this. Flew from Florida to Michigan and drove back.

You want a "best" answer to a heavily subjective question??

Good luck!!

Most people are going to say their color choice is best... mostly because that's why they're in that color.

In the past, Synergy Green was the correct color. Now it's Nightfall Gray.

WHAAAAAT??? Do you mean to say that there isn't ONE color that is better than the rest? What about Oil? or Tires?? I've seen lots of people say that "such" and "such" is the best, they must be right, right???

This reminds me of the part in Elf with regards to the sign for the "World's Best Cup of Coffee"

I enjoy getting opinions since the colors often look different in person vs in pics. Maybe I should have asked "After Krypton Green, what is the next FASTEST color"?

Well, all colors travel at the same velocity**.. Even the ones above and below our visual perception ranges.. So, None and All ***.

****

** in a vacuum

*** changes in medium will affect colors differently

**** None of which isn't important here.

Now that is a quantifiable question. Next fastest color after Krypton Green is Garnet Red, no doubt. How I know that is G14 Classified, I couldn't tell you if I wanted to, I'd die in the process....

Hyper Blue is definitely the fastest. It's even in the name. It has so much energy, it can't sit still!

I'm know I'm a little bias, but the car just looks badass in mosaic black metallic.

Keeping it clean is another story...
