Red on red looks great IMO, but so does silver with red interior. Tough choice to make.

Red on red is great, but because I've had that combination a few times before, I decided on silver with red. It's also great. Maybe next time it'll be red on red again but whatever it is--It'll sure be 3LT.

Red on Red does look awesome, and is a classic. Also classic is Red on White. Hard to beat the original Corvette combo. But, I think Red looks great with Blade silver, and Shark Grey. Guess I just like red.

I guess I'm worried that at times I'd not be too excited about the silver, it is a cool type color, what I mean Is red is a strong color silver is a non color, it looks classy but red looks hot, I think in time I would tire of the silver, I just really want to get it right this time.

How about adding a little bit of "Yellow" with the Red on Red combo.

Here's my order pending:

Not sure if dealer can change my order now? pretty dissapointing, I'm hoping, they said the build won't begin till 12/1 so I don't know why they couldn't change it before then.

Not a huge deal though, loved the red color though.thx. T
I have the red/red combo, 3LT,Z-51. Love it. There's enough black to break it up nicely. Would not go with the crystal red/red combo. Doesn't work at all.

pretty sweet IMHO and how can I be wrong!!!! My first Corvette a 2000 C5 they offered the red interior that year. But I could not judge how it would look. Too back it had black carpeting!!!!!!!!!! Like someone said we need red carpet but floor mats in red help.

Nothing the like old red C4...there was red everywhere.

Originally, when I first saw the Corvettes at Carlisle I decided that I wanted the Silver with Adrenaline Red Interior Coupe. A very close friend of mine took delivery of a Red on Red Coupe and drove it over to the house. My decision became final once seeing the car up close, it would be a Torch Red, Adrenaline Red with Carbon Flash Strip Convertible. As so be it. I have not regrets, so many people compliment me on the car, and its a stand out. I love it...

Pictures are worth a thousand words...




Many people stated it would soon be rather boring, but I disagree, everytime I go to the garage I have a big smile on my face....I love the colors.

I really like that combo, just goes together really well-and a real nice touch with the red stripe guard around the rims.

To me it's an awsome combo and I've loved it since the reveal at the auto show in 2013. And since the general chose that combo to debut the car, the marketing people think it rocks too. But since so many here have been positive responses I felt I should chime in with the following so you can hear a negative in order to make an informed decision: my girlfriend noticed that the shades of reds don't match, and she (not me, no flames please) thinks that because of that it looks really bad. She likes a red interior with any other color, so it's not that, it's just not with torch red. The pics don't really show the differences, and if this at all concerns you then I'd definitely try to see one in person before deciding.
Btw my C5 is torch red with black guts. I would've ordered a red interior but unlike the Stingray, the C5s
carpet was also red and that was a little too much for me. No regrets at all, and spiced it up with a little red by adding red letters in air bag, steering wheel decal, etc., and sometimes swap the black floormats for red.
Hope this helps. Either way, life is good for you, you're getting a Stingray! Congrats and count your blessings my friend.

Great looking car and you bought it from the best Corvette dealer in Pennsylvania!!!
