Default "New" C6

After enjoying my 2K Torch Red C5 Z51 Coupe for the past few years, I traded up for a 2007 C6 Victory Red model. Really enjoying all the newer model has to offer.





Out with the old....





In with the new!

Looks good....a lot of us have moved from a C5 to a C6. Is you favorite color red? Or just luck of the draw?

Well, while I see perfection in all Corvette colors, the wife says all corvettes should be red. So, everyone that's been married for 32 years understands how that decision is made!

While I do really like the Victory (and Torch) red, I also like the Monterey Red which seems to have that metal flake look. Of course the same wife that says all vettes should be red, also feels all other vehicles should be black. Go figure...

- a night/day difference. Of course it was also night/day going from C3's to a C5. Skipped the C4 years. Can't wait for a few more years to pass and slip into a C7.

Well done on your new C6. Good to know that those who have transitioned from a C5 to C6 have no regrets. Confirms my decision to look for a C6 and not C5. Thanks.
