I think you are exactly right and that is exactly why I bought a black one........I think the design is waaaaaaay too busy and the black mutes some of the gingerbread,,,,,

I think the black especially helps with the rear end.

Black Vettes Matter...

I'd Post pictures of my Black / Natural 2LT HTC, but I've been stuck in 3000 Purgatory since March.

All I have is an Avatar and a dream.

Keep those black pics coming, it is eye candy, especially for us stuck at the 3000 level!
Anyone take delivery of a black HTC?

Same here. I have a black HTC in the "who knows when I'll ever get my car" queue... can't wait to see one in person. Also, curious to see a black C8 without the spoiler...

What option is the red stitching with the black interior? Thx, The one I'm ordering has an all black look. I like the red stitching.

Black is awesome on this car!!! Does anyone have a picture of a black C8 with the red Corvette Script on the back? I'm building a C8 online and would like to see one that someone ordered that way.

looks great! I just saw a black one with red calibers briefly on I-75 (it was getting off at Frankenmuth) yesterday - only the 4th C8 I have seen, first black one. Very distinctive from behind on approach - looks really wide. Can't wait for my Torch red Z51... Perhaps this month (he said for the 7th time)

I'm building a Black with edge red calipers and would like to see the red script how it looks. But I guess it's not a deal breaker I can always swap out the emblem if I had to.
