I had them on my 427 and absolutely loved them so much that I spent a fortune to get them on the ZR1 as well. Absolutely love the yellow calipers on the VY Vettes.

You cant go wrong with them, man. Unless you are looking for a strong contrast with something like Red, the choice should be easy!

Looks awesome. How do you like those continental tires. I’m actually debating between those and Michelin’s as3 right now also.

Bang for the buck, the Continentals are hard to beat. Now, that said, I primarily cruise and the contis generally offer a softer ride and ride a bit smoother. The AS3 will likely bite better as it's an ultra high performance tire, whereas the contis are max summer. You can't go wrong with either. I had the contis on my 427 and when I bought a ZR with old tires, it was an easy choice. VERY easy after seeing how nearly everything else run like $600-1000+ more per set.

I just bought new pilot super sports for my cup wheels and they ride like ****. Luckily discount tire said they would take them back. So I’m debating on as3’s. Or the contis. The 19/20 set up really doesn’t have many tire choices as I’m sure you know.

Comparing either of those to PSS, you're gonna be thrilled and can't go wrong. The contis will be a hair softer, but they both are good tires.

Keep in mind that contis are summer only and AS3 is technically an A/S, although i still wouldn't be driving the in the snow. Contis get much harder around freezing whereas an all season might still be a bit softer and pliable.

Velocity Yellow with the Yellow Calipers. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ngId=531365214
That would be also my choice - if i had a yellow Z.

I say yellow on yellow too. I've been wanting to do my blue calipers to red, on my red zr1 but haven't yet - blue matches some of the blue on the car (zr1 emblems and engine cover). thinking...….

Maybe my Torch Red Z07 with Red CCB Caliper will help you make a decision
