Precision Red is the best looking color on the C6 so far IMO.... wish I could have ordered mine with it. But I got the next best thing, Machine Silver...... which is faster anyway so I don't feel too bad.

If you have a chance to get a nice PR car go for it. I love mine. I have had more positive feedback on this color than any I have ever owned. It is stunning. I bought an early car #2046 because I wanted this color. It was used in all the early C6 promos and ads. Picture under my signature.
