Nosferatu

My fiance and I are buying a second Corvette for the household.

We cannot decide for the life of me which color to go with. We found three cars with all the options we want...

2LT
Z51
Magnetic Ride
Manual transmission
PDR/Nav

Anyways one is blue one is white (and remotely but unlikely torch red). I currently own a black car. We loved blue from the beginning but after seeing the white in person it's now become a favorite too. Red is a little to "out there" but it's a distant third.

My thoughts white looks classy and the blue it looks more toy'ish. I do love that freaking Laguna Blue though. Anyways here's the three exact cars I'm looking at. Opinion? Thoughts?

Why not Torch Red? All Corvettes are RED!

Vettes I've owned were black C5, Lemans blue C6, Cyber gray C7 and now I have a Torch Red C7.

I will say that the Torch Red is my Favorite!

I've owned some 35 odd cars in the past 10 years and this is my first red car. I never thought I'd buy a red car but after seeing the Torch Red a few times I fell in love. It shows the lines very well and it's bright but not too bright like yellow.

While I like White w/ black mirrors and wheels, White is too boring, the lines do not show at all and it's too "flat" You can't get the paint to "pop" Especially if you get a coupe where the lines are very sharp.

Blue, a little light for my taste, I like it but ehh.. I do love it on the Z06 Convertible, the accents and widebody make it look

I let my grandkids decide between Yellow (my previous C6 color) and CRM (my two other 2 Vettes were red.)
They picked CRM with Kalahari interior! I'd say white or red with black wheels and if blue chrome wheels. Just one opinion.

Laguna Blue, but I may be biased:

WKMCD

Maybe you're just copying someone...

FWIW: I originally ordered a Night Race Blue. I changed my mind after seeing a few C7's and realized that the lighter/brighter colors show off the car's cuts and lines much better. Changed the order to Torch Red and I'm really glad I did.

I also let my grandson pick mine. I just sold my LMB C6 and i know that I didn't want another blue car. I couldn't decide between the AW, TR, or the CRM. You can tell from the avatar what he picked. It's orderd and just waiting for it the be delivered.

I like the C7 in white. If like mine, the grandchildren are waiting to get it when I am ready to get another! Already let the 17 year old drive it -in the driveway! She had never driven a standard shift. She did OK with my description of two dinner plates coming together to describe a clutch! My hand was on the parking brake all the time! Fortunately, in a way, they live 500 miles from us so I am not pestered to let her drive it on the road!

Of those colors, my choices would be in order: white w/red interior, lemans blue w/red interior, then torch red.

Torch Red, for the longest time I was going with the Blade Silver with Adrenalin Red Interior, with Carbon Flash Black duel racing strips, until my friend got his coupe and drove over the house. I saw the Torch Red, and black highlights with the Red interior and that was it, I was sold, never looked back, it was Torch Red with the Adrenalin Red Interior with the Carbon Flash Duel Racing Strips. NO REGRETS, I get more attention on this car.

Last weekend we drove it a few miles down the road to a local Farm Fruit Stand to get some apples. During this time of year many folks for the city (DC and Alexandria) drive out the Blue Ridge and stop here. When I came out of the store, there was a crowd of about 25 people around the car taking photos, and just staring at it. I felt bad that I had to get back home and leave them, so you will get the attention.

Love my choice.

I just sold my 07, C6, with 22k milage, to my son and he is just beside himself. My grandson loved riding in that and loved me to pick him up from school in it. Now he and his dad enjoy it together. My grandson still can't wait for the new vette to arrive.

All are nice choices, but I think White shows off the lines of the Stingray best.

IMHO, red is common

White is high contrast and I don't see too many of them, but on a practical level, harder to keep clean.

Don't see too many blue ones, and it is a beautiful color, so if the 1k for premium paint is in the budget, I'd go with blue.

I own a TR C7 but I would choose the AR. I see too many TR C7's with black wheels on the road (I almost bought one but decided to go with the chrome wheels). They all look awesome no matter what color you choose.

I get a lot of positive comments on Laguna Blue.

Must be the trend in our area. I've seen about 10 TR/CR, 1 black, 1 Laguna Blue, and 1 white (other than my own).

I'm a follower, you're a leader

It's weird because here in the DC Area, I've seen 1 TR (besides mine and WKMCD) but I've seen half a dozen if not more White and 95% of them have black wheels.

From the drivers seat, the car drives awesome no matter what color!

Nosferatu

interesting poll results so far thanks guys.

I have black currently and owned white before. In giving more thought it's unlikely to be white. I can't be rolling black and white. I'll never put the cleaning supplies away

Torch red I'm a sucker for that exotic look but I always loved that Laguna Blue. Well s.o. will see torch red tonight and we'll hopefully make a decision.

I ordered white originally but, because of constraints, bought torch red. I never even considered it until I saw it in person and couldn't be happier!

I ordered the white with black wheels. Its personal preference but love the white with black wheels and red calibers.
