Default Which Red

Need some help. Bought my wife a C6 from a member off this site about a month ago. She wants some different wheels on the car. We decided on some black z06 deep dish reproductions with the lip painted to match the car. The options on the site are the following shades of red

Crystal Red
Monterey Red
Precision Red
Torch Red
Victory Red

Which shade of red is the car. I was thinking Victory Red, but I want to be sure before I click the order button. Its a 2008 if that helps

I believe, you can find the paint color code of the car on the sticker inside the glove compartment (along with all the other information). I could look the color codes but I imagine someone else has them handy and will post them. Good luck.

PS I could be wrong but it looks like the reds offered in 2008 were Victory Red and Crystal Red Metallic. Here's a link to the Corvette Action Center paint codes:

That's Victory Red.

I was looking at that car myself. Guy lives in Martinez, right? I'd have gotten it, but it was just too far away. You got a sweet ride.

That's the car. It was a great deal that I couldn't pass up.
