Thanks
Fred what's your build and what made you decide AW & Kalahari instead of the popular AR interior?

I am not speaking for Fred, but I have seen both in person with the Artic White. For me...Kalahari was a little less in your face , upscale, albeit less sporty. I personally would get tired of the red after a while.

Adrenaline Red is just too cartoonish. I can understand trying to color-match Torch Red, but the result just has too much orange in it, and is fatiguing on the eyes. Don't get me wrong, I really like red interiors, but they have to be the kind you -- and your family -- can live with.

It is my opinion that the most popular colors for the 2014 C7 Corvette will be in order; Adrenaline red, Arctic white, Laguna Blue.

Probably 50% of total sales...

Actually black is the most popular color with almost 50% of the first batch of orders being black according to an interview of the BG plant manager.

The kalahari is nice for a touring car but the red is the way to go in a vet.

My hunt for an AW Z51 ended today when I discovered an available car about an hour from me. My first 103 miles were a real blast today! My garage had that nice new Corvette smell!

Congrats!! Lucky dog you found one. That looks so good with the transparent roof (sans body color roof edges).

Looks hot man I just love it. Come to think I initially chose CGM for color. So glad I changed my mind. Your car just glows!!! Look like gray interior?? Running a 7M or 6A ? Impressions?

You know that Adrenaline Red is an interior color, correct?
