Default VR is Best

Just took delivery on an '08 VR Convertible - absolutely stunning in VR!

I'm a huge torch red fan. I bought my victory red being it was the closest thing to it. Do I see a future torch red C6Z in my future

Certified not color blind by the FAA. It has brown, however slight (see post #64).

Nice photos. Thanks. But in the paint chip comparison the Precision Red looks a lot darker than the Magnetic Red, whereas in the photo of the cars themselves it's the other way around.

It seems that lighting conditions have a huge impact on what a car looks like at the time. I know it was certainly true with my Mag Red C5 and Monterey Red C6. I actually had both in the garage at the same time for awhile and was amazed at how similar they were at times while being totally different at other times, mostly dependent on the amount of sunlight or shade available.

I, too, think Torch Red is more orange than I would like, but then I tend to like darker reds.

I think this move is a good thing. I liked VR, my GMC Canyon is VR. But Torch Red just pops! It's

Thanks for the picture. It really does show the differences in reds.

Torch Red was a great color on the C5's, as was Millenium Yellow,but the Victory Red and Velocity Yellow are both improvements over the C5 colors.I have owned both colors of yellows,and have seen the C6 Torch Red at the museum and my brother has the Victory Red so I can assure you I know what I'm talking about.Torch Red looks out of place on the C6 and does not look better than the current Victory Red.
(Disclaimer) This is in my opinion only! No Flames needed.

I like victory better than torch. The torch is very close to Monza red I had on my 69. That and torch were my favorites till Victory Red came out. I love it!

The torch red looks like a florescent "hot pink" or something...maybe it's just the photo...
