I will be in the market soon and got the blessing from the wife lol. I am still having a hard time deciding on colors. its either red or silver. I have found about 1 billion red pics but barely any ones of silver. can someone here help me out. and the final thing is auto vs manual. I don't think I will get the pdr bc I am not so sure I would ever honestly use it. but if there are any of you with silver zl1s, please attach pics here.

This is my opinion only...

I have Red Hot and it looks fantastic up close especially with all the black accents on the ZL1. From a distance I think it's okay but not as stunning as up close.

I like silver cars but only if the shade of silver is bright. The Silver Ice Metallic is a very boring shade of silver and therefore does not appeal to me on the ZL1. This is a very unpopular color for this car, perhaps other people agree with my feelings based on sales.

I think Solid Black, Summit White, Hyper Blue Metallic, and Nightfall Gray are better alternatives to the silver you're considering, even Arctic Blue is better.

I have PDR and will never use it either. Perhaps good for resale but I will never get my monies worth.
I know the A10 is a fantastic transmission from all that I've read. For me though, I will always choose manual, and did.

I am thinking you may be right. its hard to pick the transmission too. all I have ever had has been manual. I know than 10spd is lightning fast but driving a stick with over 600hp is a whole lot of fun. is the 6 speed in the zl1 and different than whats in the 1le? I felt a 1le today and it had a lot of shifter play.

I've never driven a 1le so I can't comment. I think the short throw matched with a medium weighted clutch in the ZL1 is a great match.

I prefer the Hyper Blue and go ahead and get the A10. I enjoy the manual don't get me wrong I've got three 6 speed cars but this A10 is a blast to drive

I like blacks, silvers and blues. If I was to special order a ZL1, I would probably go with Arctic Blue, stripe package, manual and PDR. Built the car on the Chevrolet site as listed and it's my desktop on the old PC. Search here for arctic blue to get an idea. PDR is a neat option, if you don't want, don't get but make sure you give it good thought. Even daily driving it may come in handy. Can't go wrong with any color they offer.

I have Hyper Blue with the A10 and absolutely love it, but after seeing an actual 6th gen in Arctic Blue, I was very impressed with how nice that color looks in person. It's nothing like the depiction in the pictures or on the internet where it just looks like another silver.

I have the Hyber Blue. It looks amazing. I have always had a MS transmission in sports cars but I went with the A10 and I am super happy with it. I love to put it into manual shift mode. You'll love it.

I personally haven't seen many silver. I don't think that you can go wrong with whatever color you choose. I went with the special order Garnet Red and my wife and I love the color. I also didn't opt for the PDR as I will never use it. I did order the M6 over the A10. I was always taught that a muscle car should have three pedals.

[Nitro66215]

I know it's a vert... but the SIM is growing on me. I wanted Garnet Red, but couldn't find it.

I had a hard time deciding on colors. I loved the white on my 2013 ZL1 but I just thought that color didn't look as good on the 2017. Never thought I'd go blue but the hyperblue is beautiful. I just don't think Silver wows on the new ZL1 (it still looks great though in any color). Could've waited for Red Hot at my local dealer Red wasn't for me. I found a hyperblue and it had PDR (which I will likely hardly ever use). I got the A10 and am happy I did. Ultimately color is very subjective if you love it that's all that matters. No matter what you choose it will be awesome!

You want silver, manual transmission, with stripe, you now prefer brunettes, wear khaki shorts today, and tomorrow you will eat oatmeal for breakfast.

I love the arctic silver and would have picked it except every single Gen6 Camaro that I see in that color has some color mismatch between the front bumper and the rest of car/fenders. Go ahead and look at as many as you want... always seems there, also there to a lesser degree in nightfall grey metallic cars....

My experience with the black is that it's very very painful to keep scratch free and clean even though it's stunning when it is. If I were to do it again, I would go with the red as #1 choice and hyperblue as #2 and white as #3

That's usually somewhat common on modern vehicles because of the plastic/composite transition to metal.
