Default New Victory Red

I had a friend bring over his new 07 Vette this AM and I did not recognize the color. It was Victory Red. I must have missed something, because it was not the same VR of previous C6`s. Did GM change it for 07?

No changes for '07. Victory is Victory for '05, '06 and '07.

Look at the white sticker with black letters on the inside of his glovebox. If it has a code 74U, it's Victory Red.

Something is wrong with that picture. The Victory Red should be ahead as VR is THE fastest color.



Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the original 'vette only come in White?

Thanks for VR info. I had my Victory Red Avalanche parked beside my friend`s VR 07 Vette and they are not the same color. I like the Vette`s VR better.

True, in fact white is the only color offered on every model year from 1953 to 2007. Even the one existing 1983 is white!

Percision Red was discontinued in Nov 04 after a very short run. All the ads done pre-C6 release were in P-Red, even "The Boy's Dream" commercial shown only during the Summer Olympics.

Victory red has been around since at least 65 as I got the color patch today to paint my 80 shark with and its the same as 89 chevy victory red and I bet if I look still the same today.
