What color are you choosing and why?

Im on the fence about Colors

1) Black, but up keep is so hard swirl marks etc love black though
2) Red , miss my torch red C7 this is almost the same color combo but I noticed paint chips, scratches seemed to magnify easily
3) white love the tone differences but feels a bit flat to me , not enough energy
4) blue a super "nice" look but not my first choice
5) Gray I think is a great balance of black and white shows scratches less and might blend in with the black accents really good

what is your color your going with?

I've always loved black cars but to me there's not enough contrast between the body color and the accents.
I love red but I know it's not a good idea for my lead foot to be driving a "pull me over" red camaro haha

So I'm going with HBM, was not a fan of it when they introduced the color, but after seeing the 1LE out at Laguna Seca I loved it! Still not a huge fan of it on the regular SS but I think it looks killer on the 1LE. I'm also going to have some subtle red accents on the car as well, I just like red too much!

what is your color your going with?
Arctic blue.

I think that light blue with a hint of silver will look very sharp against the black hood/mirrors and wheels

I'm intrigued about the nightfall grey option as well. I test drove a 50th anniv edition and thought the grey looked good but I wasn't wowed by it .......I think that was mostly b/c of the wheels on that package, which I didn't care for.

Anything but yellow that they have on the lot and are willing to make a good deal on, no offence meant to those who like yellow.

My '16 Camaro was black. It was SO HARD to keep clean. It looked sharp for the 30 minutes it actually stayed clean. I'm going to go with gray this time. I think it looks awesome with he black accents and just ties everything in for me

Nightfall gray for me, I got a 2013 1LE in black and it's so beautiful in black but high maintenance.

my first choice was Blue Velvet metallic until I found out they weren't carrying it over to 2017

Then I wanted the bright Red, BUT, the wife has sworn me off of red cars. Saying I garner too much attention in them.

So we settled on Hyper Blue. It shows the lines nicely and contrasts well with the black accents of the 1LE.

I think we should make a new poll to see what colors everyone is going with!
