color question
I would like to know what is the brightest red color that came on any C6 and what years was it available? I saw a couple at Ocean City last week and would like to know what color it is called.

Yes I forget that they just did the one in 2005. Cannot remember the reason for it, but it had the paint code 27 which was for Precision Red.

My C5 was Torch Red and it looked great, but my C6 (2007) is Monterey Red Metallic and I get a lot more compliments with it then I ever got with the TR car. On a Corvette any red looks good as the old saying goes "All Corvette's are RED the Rest are Mistakes".

I have magnetic red, I think it looks the best at night under lights. I love Precision Red too, you don't see too many in that shade either.
All like them all.

I have to disagree. When you have a car with Victory Red, parked next to a car with Torch Red, the Torch Red looks like it has more orange in it. Victory Red is more of a Fire Engine Red.
