Thanks for posting the new TR pic. Every time I open this thread to see a new photo it takes me back to when I first found this forum and begin drooling over the TR C7 thread and plotting how I could get one LOL. As a matter of fact… I think I will step out in the garage and admire my 2017 TR GS for a few minutes right now!

The weather hasn't cooperated, but here's a shot of mine (pre-sales work) next to a beautiful '68.

Finally had a 2hr window with sunshine. Man...I absolutely love my (first) Corvette! Torch Red 2LT/Grey Interior. I'm already being trolled on the roadways (why Mustungs...WHY!?). This Sapphire V1 ceramic is like a hard candy apple, along with the Xpel Ultimate and 5% ceramic/carbon tint rear/wings (forgot the vendor; 30% driver/pax windows; 90% windshield). I had no idea that street driving could be so much fun (I'm an avid offroader here in Colorado).

49 pages and I didn't see one TR GS w/white stripe, of course there were lots of dead PB links.

Here's my car being prepped/cleaned at the dealer, just before getting shipped to me


Not my car, but looks pretty much the same

Nice pictures of Torch Red Vettes. My first vette was a 1990 ZR-1 with Bright Red exterior with red interior. It appears White is most favourite colour for the C7 but after looking at these pictures I think Torch Red stands out the nicest and is the colour in my opinion a Vette should be. Unfortunately the dealers around here don't seem to want to give you much leeway in purchasing one, have to search out farther I guess.

Thanks Brian for pics, I am more and more convinced this is the colour for my C18.

Beautiful car and picture ! Looks like a die cast model in that position.

Thanks Dave
I agree, the C7 looks the best from the side view. I'm just not a big fan of the rear end view, perhaps take some time to get my head around it.

The rear end will grow on you but I do agree best angle is the side view.

Always Red Dave, yeah, you're right. It does look like a model/diecast car.

RaceRamps and I worked out a deal. They provide me with a set of their FlatStoppers (seen under the tires) and I'd try my hand at photography. I've done a lot of photography for a business I own but the photography that I'd done for so many years was on a much smaller scale (rifles). This was more of a personal challenge to see if I could work on a larger scale. I think the photos (I think I provdied RaceRamps with at least 50 high quality pix of their product) turned out well.

Thanks.

I’m really considering doing mine!

Anyone else done this?
