I'm getting close to pulling the trigger. If someone could just tell me which color I'd like best that would help.

Also, can I fit two set of golf cubs in the coupe or is there more room in a vert?

Any thoughts, photos, etc are appreciated.

But of course you are going to get all opinions on color--what do YOU like best?

'TORCH RED' is the fastest color. (It attracts legs!)

Vert definitely doesn't have more room than the coupe.

Laguna blue, however I am very biased. My last two Vettes have been blue.

I think you'd be able to fit 2 sets of clubs in the back of a coupe.

Thanks for the pics. They all look great. Leaning towards the blade silver with black wheels. Perhaps I need to haul the sticks to the dealership to confirm...or opt for a trailer hitch.

Torch Red is the "FASTEST" color. Two sets of "PING" touring bags fit nicely.

Two sets of clubs in the coupe no problem, in the Vert with the top up only. As for color whatever you like best go for it.

on Laguna Blue (which has quite a bit of metal flake which is not obvious in most pics)!

By the way, OP.... the vert has a smaller trunk area than does the coupe. Either way, what's golf?

Torch Red is the only color for a Corvette.

Here's my thought: Are you serious? You're asking others which color you would like best? This is a joke, right?
