Great pics! Thanks for sharing. I would love to open my garage door and see those three lined up! It seems as though the C5 and C7 red are very similar while the C6 red is a little more orange. Are all three Torch Red?

Victory Red is actually LESS orange then Torch, it's a darker more traditional red.

That C7 looks completely out of place of being a corvette. I'll be the C7 hater on this thread.
All i like about the C7 are the seats. Toss the rest and start over!

I own a C5, think the C6 is a great looking car from any angle.
The C7 is hot anywhere you don't see the tail.

I think all of them have way too many electronic do-dads for me.

...Would like a sport seat, option delete Z51 C7... lemans blue, if you please...

I have always loved the C5 since the first time I saw one. Liked the C6 when they came out, but losing favor with me. I think the C7 is starting to grow on me but still not my favorite. I can't help but love all corvettes, it just seems like some are like those cousins you only want to see once in a while and others are like the people you can't live without!
