Yes, the roof, part of the spoiler, and the rear valence were all painted black. My sig and pic thread lists what was done to the car.

It's a lot of fun. Still breaking it in (1500 mi break-in period, up to 1040 mi now). It doesn't see so much as a raindrop or snowflake...I check the forecast every day, and if it's 40+ with no chance of rain, that's when I'll drive it.
The interior is nice in a very 70s-retro kind of way, but it's not fancy at all...the seats are actually kind of similar to the HHR SS seats, in that they have the suede inserts. And I actually LIKE that it's not terribly fancy...though some might argue that the ZL1's price should warrant a fancier interior, to me the Camaros are muscle cars, not luxury cars. If I wanted an interior full of shiny wood trim and leather everywhere, I would've gotten a Beamer or a Mercedes or gone that route. I was looking for a specific FEEL when I decided to go in this direction, and the ZL1 just nails it for me. I was born in 1970, and when I was able to drive come 1987, most of us new drivers were driving mid-to-late 70s gas guzzlers that had some power to them...the ZL1 sort of brings me back to my youth, and in a good way, if that makes any sense.

My wife has a 2010 Camaro (just the v-6) and I have never been impressed with it or the Camaro in general. IMO, they are just way too big and way too heavy for my taste.
I am sure that all that power plus the intoxicating whine of the supercharger in the ZL1 are a lot of fun, though.
I am, however, looking forward to the new Camaro for 2014/2015 that is supposed to go in a major diet.

the new 6th gen camaro will be here in 2015. it's built on a stretched version of the new Cadillac ATS chassis. it's going to be AWESOME!. also, another huge plus - no longer will the Camaro be built in canada - it will be built right here in the USA! just like the last one that was built here until 1992 the 3rd gen - like i own since new 1992 Pontiac Trans Am GTA - 45,000 miles!

Of the three retro pony/muscle/whatever you want to call them, the Challenger is probably the most practical, in that you get a bit of everything...most notably interior room. The Mustangs definitely feel lighter. My Camaro has backseats, but they're pretty much for novelty purposes only, or for anyone less than 5 feet tall. Front is very cozy though.
