Red Seats
What's with the bright red colored seats I've seen in some of the pictures? I've seen the color on Kerbeck's site. It looks too bright to be adrenaline red. Is it just an off colored adrenaline red photo or what. It looks awesome. I hope they offer it in 2015.

Bright Red Is Accurate: Why It Is Called "Adrenaline" Red
Have seen it up close and it is bright, bright red, like Torch Red interiors in the C5, not like a dark/maroon like Cobalt Red on the C6's.
The Kerbeck web site picked up the first GM published pictures --not Kerbeck's fault, but it is NOT color/tone accurate.
This a color accurate tone picture; it is exactly how Adrenaline Red looks to your eyes.

Red has always been tough to photograph. The 2013 red interior is dark but whenever I took a picture of it, it looked like this bright red! I'm hoping GM comes up with a better picture of the red seat for me to use on the site!
