Default zr1 colors

I think I will own one within a year or so and I'm a little dissapointed about the blue brakes and charger cover.Not that they look bad but the exterior color has to work with it.Gray,black,blue pull it off but all the others(and there all great colors) simply dont match!B.T.W is silver available? I havent seen one yet-that would be my first choice.I say paint the brakes and charger cover RED for 2010.Looks great and goes with ANY color!!!

This is fact no fiction.....Orange is gone for 2010,Victory Red is in (old news) and the brake Caliper Color is STILL Blue.....There was some talk of an option for different color Calipers on the ZR1 but GM did not have the Budget to proceed for 2010...and yes there will be a 2011 ZR1 assuming GM is "Alive".

Silver actually looks great. I saw Mario Andretti's #500 at the factory. He had a small specialty with his in that the headlamp buckets were black.

Rob62, I can't agree with you more. IMO the blue calipers, supercharger cover and badging are accented best on the JSB, CG or Black. I deliberated between JSB and Black for some time and ultimately chose Black. There are times I wish I would have chosen JSB as Black is so hard to keep clean, however when given a bath, the Black is hard to beat.

Now if GM would only offer factory brake caliper color options to match the exterior color. Would that be cool!

Thanks for your heads up info on the 010 cars Harvey!

Have you heard anything about magnetic ride suspension being offered on the 010 Z06?

Any time I sell a vehicle, I have the new buyer pick it up at the dealership that I'm going to be buying a new vehicle from (even though the vehicle isnt' made yet). That way my "trade-in" credit can be used on the future purchase.

Who has the money while you're waiting for the new car?

I do. I have the dealership make the sale for me. They just cut me a check when the new owner pays them. And they will have a tax credit waiting for me at the dealership until my new vehicle comes in.
