Default Crystal Red and Inferno Orange Stripes Shown in Monterey

At the Monterey Motorsports Reunion, Chevrolet displayed several different Corvette Stingrays including these two with the full body racing stripes.

The Crystal Red stripes (DTR) are on an Arctic White Stingray while next to it sat a Blade Silver Stingray with the Inferno Orange racing stripes (DTQ).

I would like the orange better on any other interior besides red. Other than that I do not tend to like the stripes but it looks pretty neat in orange!

At a distance the average person could mistake them for Vipers.

Those crystal red strips look really good on white. Thanks for the pics.

I didn't know that the stripes were a factory option. That's awesome news. I know a lot of people here don't like these stripes, but I do. Can we order any color stripe on any color body? Or are the some restrictions? Scanning through that link and one of the other articles it referenced, I couldn't find any restriction other than that you (obviously) can't order a stripe that matches the body color.

Blade Silver would have looked a lot better with the red stripe - should have switched them.

Never liked stripes on vettes. The only non-muscle car they look good on is the Viper IMO.

Torch red stripes would have been better.

(sighs) Simply one more way GM is giving the dealers to goober up their lot cars. One more Corvette tax on the books imho. These would be a deal killer for me. As bad as etched serial numbers in the window glass as an anti theft device.

Do they have netting for the side windows? Not a fan of the stripes.
