need color help
Hi Gang I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a 2006.
I was told Monterey Red has been replaced by Velocity red? If true is the color the same? Going with black convertible top. Would Titanium Gray be better than Cashmere? This forum keeps making me buy new vettes.

Victory is RED!
Monty is more of a Metallic darker red.
Millenium yellow was replaced by Velocity Yellow, I think thats where your confused...
My vote for cashmere, more classy.
Gray would be more sporty looking.

Victory Red is like fire engine red. Monterey Red is a darker color and has a nice flake in it that really explodes in the sunlight.
Here's a shot of my Magnetic Red which is being turned in shortly for a Z06.
Good Luck!

I'm picking up a Monty with black top and cas int at NCM on 12/15. You have to order it that way because dealers don't order it for stock with the top and int different colors. I think it's the best combo. Pictures in 4 wks.

I think the cashmere interior looks cheap, regardless of exterior color. The Cashmere seems to bring out the plastic lines, and doesn't match well with the black highlights or any chrome on the interior. I think of a Red car with a Tan/Cashmere interior like a Mitsubishi Spyder.
The victory red is classic witih the black interior and minimizes the appearance of a plastic-type interior. The grey interior also happens to look very good and sporty with the red, although I prefer the black; true sports car interior.
