ZL1 or ZLE? ?

The ZLE with the black wheels, and Black Hood looks STUNNING in Riverside Blue. The Contrast of the Light\Dark Colors is Amazing

The ZL1 - with the 20" Shadow Grey Wheels and Painted Hood - looks better with the Shadow Grey

ZL1 - Shadow Gray
ZLE - Riverside

Both great colors; however, a lighter color on a ZLE for contrast is best.

You wouldn't base your selection on others' opinions would you?

I was all over the place when I ordered my car... between SSM, SGM, White and Garnet Red. What I really wanted was Metallic Dark Green... and what comes out after I order? Metallic Dark Green.

In the end I ordered SSM. A month or so into the order, I asked if I could change the color to White. Obviously, the answer was no! I’m very happy with SSM.... but the point here is the Z is nice looking car. Any of the colors I was thinking of getting probably would have made me equally as happy.

Good luck, you’ll love the Z

To the OP, I agree with everyone who mentioned the bluish green hue in certain lighting. I had a 2013 ZL1 in ashen gray metallic and i love that color. Now i have one in hyper blue and i love it. Satin steel would be a nice alternative. That color is rare and it looks really really good on pics and in person.

So you need to decide if you want a true grey color or if you're ok with it having blue hues in the grey especially in high light situations.

That's the best part about the color IMO though.

I had Shadow Gray on my 2019 Pickup. Great color. I still think for the ZL1, Riverside Blue would be the way to go for a ZL1. I have a Hyper Blue ZL1. I get a ton of positive comments. Everything is gray and black on the road. Riverside Blue stands out without being obnoxious.

There is definite “gunmetal blue” tint to it, but this was photographed indoors under fluorescent lighting. Can’t wait to get it home and out in the daylight.

Bought my RB ZLE without ever seeing one in person and i have no regrets. As stated above, it looks bada$$ with the matte black hood, wheels, wing, etc

I vote Shadow Gray but you can’t go wrong with either choice.
