I've always felt that Magnetic Red was one of the best Corvette colors ever!

What does MR stand for? You realize there was a Magnetic Red and a Monterey Red in 2005, right?

Also a Millennium Yellow and a Precision Red.

I'd still take the Monterey Red.

I love my DSOM, but it was really a toss up between that, velocity yellow and victory red. All those colors are about the same to me. If there's one color I like more than those 3 it would have to be Nassau Blue, but they stopped making that 1/2way through the C5's production run. Hopefully the new Jetstream blue looks a lot like Nassau

Well, since I had an 05 black coupe and 05 Mag Red vert, I have to vote for both of those colors. LMB would be my next choice.
