Mag Red II for me, with black interior. Looks great, but all the vette's are great. Get what looks/feels right for you.

WOW!!! This has turned out to be a great 1st post here for me..

I do feel a little more comfy with the car that I have found do to your responses.. I may at the last minute go with something else, because I Love some of the other colors too.. But.. Keeping in mind it's a DD has to affect my decision a little. We live in the Midwest.. Ugly winters, hot summers..

If I get this car I'm wanting to add some personal goodies to it for looks and to simply better it a little..

Here are some pics of the car.








All Ideas are certainly welcome.. ;-)
1) Double stack Radio.. (I saw the kenwood post, but wonder if it's bluetooth for phone?)
2) Loved the tan/black interior with carbon console cover in an earlier pic.
3) Some exterior goodies. Maybe hids with clear covers?
4) a couple of performance goodies too.. ;-)

Question... How can I tell if this car has any perf packages, ect..
Here's the vin: 1G1YY22G715113247


Mighty Thanks!!
Don

Thank you so much again!!

i dont think you can go wrong with any color, but since i have MSG i gotta go with that



The LeMans blue, Mag red, anniversary red, nassau blue, electron blue, would probably be my next favorites. They're all good.

Magic Red II !! black interior. My second would be MSG black interior.

Now when I was looking for my Vette I was all over black and navy blue or electron blue. I ran across mag red I was like I got to have it. I looked at a t least 3 before I got mine. I will say that since it is a tri-coat that touch ups suck and heaven help it ever has to have paint work because your painting into adjacent panels to blen properly. On the up side though while at Fun Fest this year I had a hard time finding modded Mag Red cars. I looked and found some with wheels but for the most part they were very stock appearing on the outside so when I do some stuff to mine it will hopefully stand out a little in a crowd.

then again this is just my thoughts.

Thank you so much again!!
If you are talking about the Z51 performance handling package here is what you do. Lift the hood and look right in front of the harmonic balancer and directly above the steering rack. If you see what looks like a transmission cooler then you do have the perf package. That is the power steering cooler that is part of the Z51 package. Also look in the glove box and look on the RPO sticker for FE3 code.

To quote John Heinricy (a leading test driver of Corvettes some years ago: "Why are we having this discussion? ALL Corvettes are RED. The rest are mistakes". Of course that's just an opinion as fact is almost all colors look good when drapped on a Vette.

I like Nassau blue as #1, then Bowling green as #2 and Electron Blue as #3. Although I own a Spiral Gray, which for me is practical since I'm not all that good about washing the car often, especially when its cold out. Torch red is too common, black and white are impossible to keep clean, Mil. Yellow is cool, but it attracts unwanted attention, Mag. red and ann. red are too SN95 mustang looking for me, pewter isn't my style but I can see the appeal because it makes the car look more luxorious, and I pretty much see silver and my own spiral grey in the same class, they're nice but more practical than anything else because of the fact they don't show dirt at all although they're maybe a little too subtle sometimes, people don't notice them as much. But thats just my take on it.
