03 is a bright red, the 50th anniversary is more of a wine colour. At first glance I thought that it was a shade of purple. Not my personnel first choice of colour, or 2nd, 3rd...............

No need to be harsh eh!
They're both beautiful colors! As are the rest of the Corvette colors! Beauty is in the eye of the be-holder!
