I agree on Mont red/black for vert.
Me, I've gone between that and silver/gray...for a vert, it's probably
smart to get light colors when it gets hot.
But that Monterrey Red is really beautiful, IMO.

At first I was absolutely going to purchase a black/ebony coupe, but when I saw the Monty Red, I feel in love with it. So I ordered a Monty Red/ebony. I just love the color combination. So my vote would be Monty Red all the way.

Monty Red. I have an '06 Monterey Red and an '00 Magnetic Red, which are both great, great colors. The orange is nice but is short-lived, whereas Red has always been a basic Corvette color. And in the sun, the Monty Red really shines.

best color...
i hate to say it... but the best color isn't made... its gunmetal... the c5's had pewter... but even that wasn't close... gunmetal is bad ***... it has all of the agressive yet classy look of black, but none of the swirly dirty hassle... plus polished wheels look sick with gunmetal too...
my advice, buy a black one used that needs a paint job, or had some light front end damage... and then paint it gunmetal
or.. buy YELLOW
