I'd go for red. Mil Yellow stands out waaaay too much, especially for cops. And Mil Yellow attracts bees & yellow jackets. Red is a great color, but it doesn't scream for attention like yellow. Just remember that not all reds are created equal.

I'd get the Red if it were me. Get it if it has all the options you want, you'll definatley like the HUD. I wouldn't have a Vette without it. You can always install it though if you go with the Yellow. Good Luck!

Definitely the red, lower miles, more trouble free driving. I like the Mil. Yellow, but it is my 4th favorite C5 color.
1. Red
2. Black
3. Blue
4. Mil. Yellow
(mine is black, but it does has a red interior)
Whichever you choose, I believe you will love your Vette, so you an't lose!

I'm leaning to the red, although it's not fully loaded it doesn't have HUD it's BONE stock but 22K miles is impressive.
Yellow bring TONS of attention at night the yellow looks hot though! you can't really notice red at night....but then again i never saw red at night

No HUD!!
That's a necessity! Whatever color you pick, look for a one with all the toys. Should be very little difference in $$s.

Difficult decision.....yellow or red. I chose Magnetic Red over Torch Red...Deeper in color and the paint dances in the light.

I wouldn't let the mileage bother me. You just have to decide, which one do I want to see sitting in my garage or driveway from now on??? Good luck with you decision. You'll enjoy either one.
