Oooohhhh!
That's a tough one.
In the side-by-side comparison, I prefer the Velocity Red over Torch Red.
The orange hues really jump out in the TR in comparison.
However, that classic C5 shape is sure hard to beat.....definitely nicer that the hard edged C6, IMHO.

I wonder what would happen if you posted this in the C6 section
I tend to like the victory red a little better, but have always liked the C5 alot more than the C6.

Both! Don't like the blackouts on a bright red car... looks like you are working against blending the lights with the color...

This. No comparison, I will take torch red over victory red any day, and it isn't even close.

Exactly! TR "pops" and when it's in the sun it really stands out! My neighbors compliment my car all the time when it's waxed and sitting in the sun.
BTW...the OP was comparing colors not C5 vs C6...
