The combo I like best is torch red Z51, silver wheels, red calipers and either 3LT adrenaline red or 3LT kalahari interior. Eventually I'll probably go with the adrenaline red, & maybe in 2015 they'll cover the whole dash in red like they do in the Kalahari.

Default Do we have a 'Torch Red' page yet?

My car, "Elvira" came off the line either last evening or early this morning. Sam Kelley, (my salesman at Kerbeck) and Kelly J. (star of stage, screen, and Chevy Customer Service) assisted in the delivery. She's a 'Torch Red' Z-51 convertible, with a 3T Adrenaline Red interior, 7 speed manual transmission, black top, black wheels, black mirrors and spoiler. Red calipers, magnetic selective ride and dual mode performance exhaust.
Right now shes sitting in the rain out behind her birthplace, waiting for a ride to Montana, and finally her new home in Wyoming!
I know shes going to get along well with her older sister, a C-2 (64) Riverside Red convertible.

Me too! I was built 11/21 a Torch Red Z51 coupe. VIN 8062. Maybe they are gonna ride out together for a bit, with a pit stop in Minnesota.
