They all look great - but IMO, the best shade of red is from the '03 - Anniversary Red.

I love my Mag Red '99 and the '03 AE Red is stunning. I never cared for Torch Red, too orangeish for my tastes. I have noticed some of the years of the C6 had a cooler, less orange bright red, Victory Red I think, that I liked.
Again, this is the kind of preference that one develops early on and sometimes for seemingly insignificant reasons. My dad had a 1970 Camaro that was the warmer (bluer) red that I like - I remember him calling it Cranberry Red, although I do not know if that was the official color or his characterization of it. Ever since then, that was the red that I love on cars, although I've only had one car that particular shade of red, an '87 Acura Integra. I've had several red cars, but all in the darker red shades.
