Default Finally! Black Z-51 3LT with Red interior/calipers

I finally got to pick up my C7 today and it's fantastic! I can't wait to break it in. I wanted to post a few quick pics today and do a longer post at some point soon with better pics. Thanks to all the amazing forum members here for everything you do!!!

As far as the car, everything checked out great and no issues so far after 80 miles of driving. It's a Z-51, 3LT, FAY, NPP, Magnetic Ride, Red Calipers, Transparent Roof.

looks sweet. I just saw my first C7's in person this week. I was going to upgrade my 2007 for a 2016, but I think i'm moving it up to 2015.

Congratulations on your new Vette. Absolutely stunning.

White on red, and black on red are my two favorite color combinations. I have had to white on reds, and am leaning towards white on red for my C7. Sadly as much as I like the black on red, I know I will probably never buy that combination because mine is a daily driver, and you know the deal with keeping black cars clean....

Black on red is bad @$$ Congrats.

EZ,

Your car is EXACTLY identical to my car on order, just hit 3400 with Rick Conti.
Glad to see pictures, which are stunning, and confirm my selection!

Ridiculously nice looking. I thought Silver w/ Red interior & black wheels was my favorite, but these pictures have changed my mind. I'd like to see some pics with the top off.

The car looks great, I think its funny how many Red interiors people are ordering. Before you couldn't give a red interior away or not that many ordered. Now its seems to be very desirable.

Decided to drive down to Bowling Green to get a C7 fix. Red interiors are way popular in white , black, red, silver, gray cars. Torch Red and red interiors was the most popular combo at the NCM yesterday. Will stop over at the NCM before heading home. I hope to see other color combos in person. Hopefully the factory gets quality control in order soon. Would love to order one.


I agree with some of the other previous black car owners about up keep on a dark car. Had a few myself black cars myself. As much as I love the look just too much work for me. Considering Torch Red or White if Bowling Green gets QC up. White is super easy because it hides everything. How is Torch Red with up keep and dust? Anyone had both and can chime in?

OP, you black/red is killer. Congrats and enjoy the ride!

Congrats on the new C7. Great color combination. It looks similar to the McLaren MP4-12C in my garage.

Yeah white on red is really amazing too. I saw a white one and might have changed my order if it wasn't so far along.
I feel your pain on daily driving a black. I do it anyway and just enjoy a clean car every once in a while .

And this is what the custom sills look like, btw:

Yeah, I was hesitant at first, but the red interior really looks amazing. And it really goes well with so many of the colors on the C7.
