If I had waited for a '16 that would have been the color, instead of shark grey.

The 2016 Corvette Brochure features the Spice Red Design Package with a Corvette Z06 Convertible on the cover. Has anyone seen the red convertible roof?? the bash LBR was a coupe. i have ordered the spice red package vert--LBR exterior, spice red interior, and red convertible top. a lot of trust that these all work together.

Whatever red those seats are they clash with the hue of the Long Beach Red interior.

It takes a special individual to truly appreciate the "maroon" be it called CRM or LBR...articulate, intelligent, talented ...and a touch of class to behold its beautiful color!

I think it would also look hot if the interior was a wine color as well.

I was fortunate to see this combination in the plant back on April 17. It was a finished build that was sitting near the area where they correct any issues on cars coming off the line. Anyway, I think you will be very pleased with the way everything comes together. It was a beautiful convertible and the top appeared to match perfectly. I can't wait to see your pics!

Anyone know what this G1E Longbeach Red is composed of? Does it contain the Xirallic aluminum-oxide like my beloved Monterey Red?

We should be hearing some comments soon from new owners as the color was supposed to start this week!

Anyone?

That color looks like it would be better named as Ruby Red. Very nice!
