Default Victory Red and Velocity Yellow Higher profile?

I've got a Victory Red C6 coupe on order. I was wondering how much more attention do you guys get with the Bright red and Velocity Yellow over other colors?

I've always had white vehicles and 1 silver. low profile colors. I get plenty attention in my White C6, but wondering what it's gonna be like in a Victory Red C6? I've herd Red and Yellow attracts more cops too.

Thanks!

I bought Victory Red because "I" like the way it looks. I couldn't care less who notices it and any good cop is going to see you no matter what color you buy. Enjoy it, and don't worry about others.

Yellow is the fastest color.

I would think the yellow may draw a little more attention, but the red with several coats of Zaino will drw a lot of attention too...

My brother has Millenium Yellow and I have Victory Red. They are both head turners, especially when we travel together.

Can't go wrong with either choice. Drive sensibly, and don't look back.

Buy the color that does the most for the car, I like victory red, the cops are to busy with the kids in there rice grinders to be concerned with you anyway.

Think of it this way... looking down at the mall parking lot while flying over... which color will you see first... yellow! Same thing while crusing down the highway. There are alot of red vehicles but you see the yellow ones all the way down the road.

I don't know how it compares to other Corvettes, but compared to any other car I've owned my VY C6 gets noticed a lot. I bought it because I like the color, and am actually a little shy about the attention thing, but what the heck...it is all positive nice compliments from people so far. The stares & comments "nice car" still happen regularly after one year driving it.

Buy what you want and grabs your attention...your the one paying for it. You can't go wrong with either color! Both attention grabbers.

I love victory red. Just figured the attention grabing level will go up compared to my white C6.

Okay... Which one do you see first?



Well... Maybe the RF...

Lots of compliments on VY, but it is a personal choice, and not one of those Corvettes in the picture isn't hot!!

When I was pulled over in my Victory Red coupe, the officer told me I was driving a billboard.

LOL. Yellow is more visible than red, but red is a close 2nd on attention grabing colors.

Well I had my mind made up before I entered the dealership nearly two tears ago.

To me the red colors stand out the most. Well yellow is very bright, however to me it is a tad feminine a color - I do aplogize to all yellow C6 owners, it is nothing personal.

I have never owned a red automobile, let alone red Corvette. I think all C6's get a great deal of attention wherever they are observed. But if you put my money on the ones that stick out among their own I would say RED, BLACK and YELLOW. LeMans Blue is a very personal favorite of mine but I think the others would be more noticeable.

Just my two pennies.

Default victory red

I have victory red and I am truly surprised by the attention it gets.

I did not buy though for that reason I just love the car.

I think all Corvettes look great.

All of colors on a vette make it look fantastic, however, the one that made it, literally, stand out from the others for me was Velocity Yellow. Get compliments everyday as I'm sure the others do as well.

If you pick the one that knocks you out when you first see it, you got the right one!
