I have to pick my color tonight so I can call my sales guy tomorrow to finalize my color... I have it narrowed down to either machine silver or victory red. I have to have cobalt interior so if you have some pics of either combo show them off PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Machine Silver / Cobalt Red is a fantastic combo. Check out StanNH's and TRAYC6's pics as they both have that combo. Of the two choices you're considering, it's a no-brainer. Come to think of it, Machine Silver / Cobalt Red is probably one of the best of all combos offered on the C6. Now that I've seen it, I often wish that I'd have ordered it myself.

Sounds like it's a very personal choice!!
Red is hot. It's a strong color that conjures up a range of seemingly conflicting emotions from passionate love to violence and warfare. Red is Cupid and the Devil. A stimulant, red is the hottest of the warm colors. Studies show that red can have a physical effect, increasing the rate of respiration and raising blood pressure. Red is power, hence the red power tie for business people and the red carpet for celebrities and VIPs (very important people).
Silver, especially a shiny, metallic silver, is cool like gray but livelier, more playful. Silver can be sleek and modern or impart a feeling of ornate riches. Silver often symbolizes riches, just as gold does. Silver can be glamorous and distinguished. While gray-haired men and women are seen as old, silver-haired denotes a graceful aging. The color silver can be earthy, natural or sleek and elegant.

THEY WON'T LET ME ORDER DSOM... 
They told me the factory doesn't make it any more. It almost made a grown man cry. Who am I kidding I was crying I am still crying right now thinking about it....
No I HAVE to have red leather interior I just have to. You can't get velocity yellow or lemans blue in cobalt leather they just won't do it. I checked out the pics thread I saw one machine silver with red leather but no red with red leather.

Silver/red is almost as good as white/red (I'm prejudiced of course 
). VR/red isn't so good because the reds are not the same and IMO clash somewhat. Given your choices I'd do Silver/red.
