Gray. Definitely. I'm a fan of blue obviously, but on that car the gray looks meaner.

By the way, dont you mean you're going to suggest the color on the car your dad spends $100k on?

The problem isnt the color. Its the rims. THEY look bland. I'm sure you can suggest something there too.

I like the dark grey with that tan interior. It's a great looking color combo.

I say blue, only because this is kind of the signature color for the ZR-1. It was code named "blue devil" for so long.

Grey.

To be honest with you though, I hate the fact that the top of the engine sticks out so much I'd probably just get a regular C6 and slap some Linginfelter pwnage on it. What the fuck were the designers thinking that we wanted to see the engine sticking out of the hood like that? It's not even the engine but a shitty plastic cover. Either make it exposed metal or just put a window in like Ferrari/Audi/Lamnborghini (Which would look horrible on a front-engined car)

One more vote for the grey...the blue would be nicer if it was a shade or two darker.
