I still prefer torch red for the C5 Z06, but I am biased since mine is torch red. Still, a very nice looking Z06, one to be proud of.

The stock gray wheels should look great with red, so it must be pictures/lighting. I had candy red once, and it really needed sunlight to look it's best.

The seller and buyer are members of Club FBody Mexico, and seller provide this pictures.

Original color


Then he painted silver


And then candy red
