Default Ordering 2010 Grand Sport, right now, red or black, cpe or vert???

Hi all, I'm sitting in the dealer (Al Piemonte Chev), preparing to order a new Grand Sport for stock, I tell the sales manager a Red Coupe with minimal options to keep the price really low for a serious Vette driver,,he thinks a loaded black vert will sell easier,,you guys are the experts what do you think????

color; either
only the coupe - styling - it's what a vette should look like
you can pop the top anyway
tons of space for junk like golf clubs!!

Saw a torch red GS vert with black interior at Superior Chevy in Shawnee Mission, KS yesterday - what a stunning car. That would be my suggestion.

The hot Torch Red from 1993-2004 has returned for 2010 after 5 years of a more traditional red. It really "pops" on a Grand Sport.

It might be cool to order a coupe with a 6-speed so it gets the dry sump, rear battery, and LS3 hand-built by the PBC in Wixom...

How do you plan on using the car? If you want to go to any track events do not buy the convt. They are not allowed on the track without a rollbar.
