I don't think you will go wrong with either combo. Black with red stitching is more conservative, but the red black interior combo of the red selection is not overwhelming in the Z06 as looks a little aggressive esp with the red/carbon/black exterior you have chosen for the exterior. To tell you the truth I do not like the black wheel fade. They always look dirty, give little contrast for wheel definition. Machining the wheel edges certainly improves contrast and new brake pads the other, but both increase cost. I completely changes my car's interior and exterior 3 times after ordering. My objective in the end was conservative.
I also chose to go with black with black suede inserts and red stitching. I also thought seriously about the two tone but I could not get red suede inserts, only black if I remember correctly.
The red on red is really nice but just a little to much for my 65 year old eyes and personality. Twenty years ago I might have ordered the red interior.
Personally, red interior is too much. I'm also not much of a fan of mixing to much exposed carbon, carbon flash, matte fender guards and then adding something like a clear top as it seems uncoordinated. Reminds me of that old Johnny Cash (I think Johnny Cash???) song about piecing a car together. Exposed carbon was on constraint when I ordered and would have taken another 2 months (I already waited 6 months) so I elected to go with all flash, glad I did. Also have the comp seats. It's a toss up to me on red or white stitching, I like both. Toss up with suede inserts as well, I like both.
BTW, it's not torch red, it's arrestme red.

Thanks Steven, your feedback is always appreciated. Regardless of the configuration, you know how this car is going to look when finished! Can you say "LaFerrari-gloss"? You know the finish I'm going for.
Buddy, I think it's time to show all of your new friend here on CorvetteForum exactly what "LaFerrari-Gloss" really looks like!
I am putting in my order for a Torch Red Z06 / 3LZ / Z07, and have been waffling between black w/red stitching, and Adrenaline Red interior. They both look fantastic...just not sure if red car with red interior is too much.
I will have black wheels, carbon flash, and exposed carbon fiber roof.
Feedback / votes on color would be appreciated. Thanks.
I had the same dilemma and agree that adrenaline red is too much. You can't go wrong with black with red stitch - it's definitely sharp. But if the black is too much of the same the two tone red/black is pretty sharp.
FYI - I know where there is TR Z06 A8 3LZ with exposed carbon including the exposed hood. Doesn't have the Z07 package or comp seats but I bet you could get a nice deal on it. PM me if you want the info.

I have Adrenalin Red in my Torch Red Z06 and everyone who sees it for the first time is blown away with that combo.
Thank you all for the feedback, advice, and opinions on the color combo...there's not a "wrong answer" in here! The participation is much appreciated indeed.
Now it's time to go see Rick "Corvette" Conti at Coughlin to place my order (I'm holding final specs until the order is official).
