Thanks for the comments. Last fall I gave the car the full Zaino treatment. Over the winter I bought a Flex buffer and the polishes that came with the Ceramic kit from Autogeeks. The Flex did a great job of getting the swirls and small scratches out and Zaino made her shine again. The C5 body style still has a modern look after 12 years, in my opinion.

Very nice!! 
The brick wall background really compliments your torch red beauty.
Now the Art Director/Photographer is going to come out in me. Go back to that same location and play around with the angle. Like low, wide angle would look cool from more severe of an angle from front or rear. That is a cool location for your torch color with LOTS of potential!
Some additional post work could really make these great photos just spectacular!
Like a slightly darker brick wall...
Boy! I have to stop this!
Your pics are COOL!

I appreciate the input. I've been wanting to take some photos at this location and have been waiting for the right time/light. Next time I'll bring my wife along to move the car into the exact position I want. The 24-70 was used for these photos, but next time I'll see what the 17-40 can do. Thanks again for the comments!
17mm and low!!
pm me when you post more. I'll even help you with post if you want. You are really close to some really killer shots of that beautiful 97.

Just checked out your profile. I should have known!!

I made a few edits to the photo. Obviously there's nothing I can do about the shooting angle, but I did create some adjustment layers to darken the background. I also removed that window that was growing out of the top of the car

Good job man!
For me, a huge improvement! I don't dislike the angle at all. Just that when you find a really nice location like that, its worth really exploring it photographically.
Keep up the good work!
