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.
Ordered almost the same exact vert. I added the carbon stinger stripe and went with yellow calipers. Everything else the same as you did.

Beautiful car in red. Sign of a good car is that it looks good in every color including red.

3LT Kalahari with Torch Red = ultra sexy. Best combo on the C7 hands down!

Love the look, guys. I myself bought a Victory Red 2008 last month and am convinced that red is the only way for me when it comes time for me to get my C7! I would definitely get the painted wheels and Kalahari interior. Just my taste.

My only question is.......... painted, or carbon fiber roof? For me, glass is out because it interrupts the color lines of the car, IMHO.

Overall, they all look gorgeous to me and I know it will be a tough decision for me in a couple years. I know... First world problems.


P.S. Anyone wonder if they will ever release the C7 in Victory Red? I may be blaspheming here, but I kind of prefer VR to Torch Red. The latter seems to have a bit too much orange in full sun in previous Vettes. Granted, I've never seen a TR C7 in person yet...
