Default Precision red pics?

Hello, I'm thinking of purchasing a 2005 Precision red Coupe. Does anyone have some good pics they can send or know where to find one on this web site?

Precision Red on the left, Victory Red in the middle, and Pink on the right.

EDIT: Edited to show that the middle vette is Victory Red, not Magnetic Red. Somehow I had it labelled incorrectly in the name under which I saved the pic.

Precision Red does look slightly different under different lighting conditions.
Both of the pics below are Precision Red.

That PR coupe on the left is mine (note the PR C6 tag), with a Victory Red next to it, and also Vickki's Pinky. The picture was taken by me during the Toys for Tots run sponsored by Kerbeck's, Dec, 2004. I believe this was among the first VR C6's delivered to Kerbecks, or anywhere.

Now, IMHO, what's more important than the shade of red, is whether you prefer a metallic finish or not. I just prefer non-metallics on sports cars, with this PR as my favorite!! The metallics are great for those who prefer them.

The reason why I'm asking all these "red" Questions is because I have the opportunity to get a PR car really cheap, But I like Mag red. They seem to be hard to find with all the options I want. I REALLY like Le Mans Blue too. Also hard to come by.

Like I said above, "If your into metallics, don't accept anything else". Cheap or otherwise! C6 MR's (both) and LBM are beautiful!!

Man, I love PR! I think that PR should be the standard red, with either Mag Red or Mont Red being the metallic option. IMHO, PR beats VR any day!

i agree and because PR is not available is a big reason i never got to excited about getting a 06 as i had a person that wanted to by my 05 because of the precision red color.

Painted that color by the dealer for a publicity stunt. It even had the lady's name on the side, "Vicky", for a female employee of the dealership.

Default Why?

Why did they change from Precision Red to Victory Red during the 2005 model year instead of waiting for the beginning of the 2006? Seems odd to me but they must have had a reason.
