Who thinks magnetic RED 1 or 2 is best color ?
Is the # 2 a lighter color over 1 ? and do you think this color is the nicest, just curious. I have not seen it in person but it looks good on TV. I am going to look at one possibly......
Thanks...
Thanks...

I like almost every color the C5s came in. I probably could not tell the difference between I and II unless they were parked next to each other in the same light.

I have seen both versions of the Mag Red color and IMO you won’t go wrong with either color. There really is not all that much of a difference to me. The dark red color that I really like is the Anniversary Red that is in the 2003 AE cars.

I have not taken time to see the cars in real life side by side and should do this before I buy I would think.... I saw a MAG red in black trim with black ZR1 rims and thought it was great. I want a car nobody else has and if I took that car and painted a Z06 HT to match the car that would be original I guess.....
Thanks for the help, I do not want a Z06 color with a HT VERT for non originality reasons because usually when I buy something I keep it so I want one of a kind.
Any input is welcome.........

The right wheels really set that car off, thanks for posting it.
I found one and it is sold that was a 2000 MAG red and I did not get the picture, it had black ZR1 rims but it appeared they had sanded and polished the entire top edge of the entire rim so the entire top edge of the wheels popped like a mirror finish but behind and under that the wheel was black. really really looked cool with the Mag color but I think the way they did that it would cool no matter what combo....

I personally like mag red ll, more of a candy apple red look. Really pops in certain light. My 2000 is a II, but that didn't influence my preference....

I had an '04 mag red auto. It had been Zaino'd by previous owner...the exterior color was beautiful.
I did not like the tan/beige interior color....at all. If it had been a black interior..it would have been awesome.
