Default Ruby and GS pics

Since my Ruby and "50" pics went over so well I thought I'd share these from Summer '01 Ruby and a GS Coupe



And one more of my Ol Blue girl with 8388's callaway

I think he has one callaway, two ZR1s and a 35th. We are talking about Sam right? Just want to be sure I have his forum ID straight with his name :lol:

Of all the C4's, the Ruby and GS are the best. That's just my humble opinion. Wish I had one or the other. :cry :cry :cry

Jennifer, since I have not seen an '03, and photos are misleading, is the '03 color that similar
to the 40th? I have been told that the colors are not that close, and that the '03 needs sunlight to bring out it's luster. True?

I've seen the '03 in person... it looks a bit darker, with more metal flake when the sunlight hits it.

Cool pics, Thrills...

I was getting gas today and I finally saw a 50th in person, but the SOB driving it looked like he had been mud riding in it. :mad The car was so dirty, I could barely tell it was a 50th! I did notice the emblems and the interior, and that is when I knew what it was. I walked over to try and look at it, but it was soooooo dirty... What a moron!

Check this post on page two of the Ruby and 50 thread http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zero...=404540&page=2

What I can tell you is that they're roughly the same VALUE. That means the darkness of the color. The HUE is different, the 50 is a gold red and the ruby is a red violet. My photos were taken in the shade so that's why they look so close. These photos on page two are sunshine shots.
