Newby shows up with buyer's remorse after buying an '07 with the Z51 option and tries to justify the purchase by creating a thread comparing his LS2 to a LS3. Next, he'll try the Z51 option vs F55, then M6 vs A6, red vs black, etc, etc, etc. Of course, he will avoid any comparisons to the several other improvements introduced starting in '08.

My advice is to enjoy what you have. When you no longer enjoy it, get something else.

I'm pretty sure 90% of people on this thread will take an 07 torch red over a maroon 08. Buyer's Remorse?

Victory Red 08 is better than Torch Red 07. It's faster too.

Torch Red is like Ferrari Corsa Red.
Victory Red is like Fire Truck Engine Red.

Have you ever ran the quarter mile in your 08? Is it consistent with the supposed "real world data" posted earlier?

Wow. Dude, stock for stock, an 08 is faster than an 05-07. And by more than a car length. Just be happy with your car and deal with it.

Most guys here don't want a car that's been repainted different than original.
Torch Red was not available in '07. The choices were only Victory Red and Monterey Red.
maroon was not an '08 color. Only Victory Red and Crystal Red Metallic.

If you need to compare stuff, at least be accurate in the identification.

You sir are a good man. I just checked the glove box and the RPO code is 74U. It is victory red.

So now we're comparing colors?

Ok then the Victory Red LS3 is faster than the Victory Red LS2.
