For some reason CR does nothing for me. I wish they would bring back the red from the 50th anniversary or some other red that has more pop to it.

On the C6 it looked good but on the C7 there is too much black or something. it makes it look dirty?

I dunno. It's just the absolute bottom of the list of colors.

Sometimes how the sun or light reflects off the paint can effect the way it looks.

Bring back Monterey Red Metallic. That was a stunning color that would look fabulous on the Stingray. Until then, I will settle for CRM.

Was hoping someone would prove me wrong with pics like George36. His pics are 100 times nicer than most of what I have seen

Sorry, I can't get the photo to come up.

Default Awesome!

That is a great color for this car. I keep wavering between the Crystal Red (again) and the Cyber Gray.
We have a Crystal Red 5th Gen Camaro (4 and a half years now) and just yesterday I had someone compliment me on the color...See My Corvette Photos or My Garage for pix.
