Default 2015 C7 Torch Red or Laguna Blue?

I have an order with my local dealer, yet to get an allocation. The order is in Torch Red with Adreneline Red interior 1LT.

After seeing the Laguna Blue here on the forums, I am considering changing my mind. The Laguna Blue does look very classy.

Any input? or suggestions. I also want the matching painted roof.

What color combination would you choose with these two colors.

Your opinion does matter.

Laguna Blue is a great color and so is Torch Red!....if it is a tossup in your mind...Torch Red is $995 less!

I saw a red on red C7 recently and it was in my opinion awesome looking. That would be my choice between the two.

Default Both good colors...........

I bought the Torch Red, only because I worked in Italy and that color reminds me of my time spent there. I liked the L. Blue almost bought one. I would go for the Blue.

Do yourself a favor and make sure you see both colors outdoors. Almost every color I have seen looks very different inder various listing, and they definitely look differ t than photos where white balance can wreak havoc with the color tones. I have studied them over the last 6 months by visiting various dealers in the area as their stock turns over. You will not be sorry that you spent the time to see the colors in person IMHO.

Good luck!

Jeff

PS. Between the two I would pick LB but they both look pretty darn good!

Or my philosophy, you can get red any year. Get a unique color. Is this the last year for laguna blue?

Well all corvettes are red...Though only 1 of the four I've had have been red. My next one might be?

I love white...easy classy and low maintenance but not a lot of gratification when it's detailed. Black gives the most happy feelings but they last the least.


Red or Laguna blue has a nice balance. You can tell when you've shined her up and every little speck doesn't break your heart.

The torch red has a lot of orange in it. You need to see it in person before deciding. I looked at a torch red Stingray with the adrenalin red interior and the two reds did not match in my opinion.
I would pick Laguna blue because I like metallic paint.

Both colors are great but I am biased towards Laguna Blue--that's what I have and its a little less common as far as vette colors go. I really like the Brownstone interior but I think Kalahari would be pretty sweet as well.

The torch red has a lot of orange in it, the C-6 had a victory red, which looked much better than the torch red. Go with the Laguna Blue it is a metallic paint and really POPS in the sun.

Tucumacari and Santa Rosa, NM are major train yards for the Union Pacfic/Santa Fe RR.

Many cars on train transports are unloaded from this point.

I was stuck too between Torch Red or Laguna Blue. I looked at both outside and went with Laguna Blue.

Tucumacari was another location that was on the automated U.P.phone system, that the train went through. Lizard was before that.
