Is this really CR? Looks an awful lot like TR, but you know your car better than anyone.

So here's the deal. I thought most half intelligent people knew this, but you don't so I guess you don't qualify as intelligent. You either get dead or you get old--do you get that part? And if we get old and we want to drive any color Vette we want, go for it. We can drive it despite your own substance adled young judgement--you need to live with it.

What has surprised me about CR is how many people call me out about it. People do love this color. And. it appears to be pretty rare. I haven't seen another C7 with it other than mine, let alone a Convertible.

Greg,
I know you didn't mean to offend and I'm not offended (71 years old 2015 CRM) but that wasn't me behind the wheel - it was my chauffeur. I was the guy in the passenger seat with the Yankees cap on. Oh - and if I can upload the picture - here is another reason!

In the old days not many choices in color Honduras Maroon was my fav color as a 19!year old in 1962. So crystal red and some of the darker reds appeal to me. I drive a torch red stick shift Z51 hoping to drive a new Z06 when all the hype dies down. I can still cut a light and drive around corners too. Just had my 71st bday I run 3 miles ever other day and lift 22000 lbs ever other day.

Have any Crystal Red owners painted or powder-coated their calipers to match? I like the idea of painted calipers, but not sure I like the two different reds together and yellow is not an option for me.
