Default Red interior in C7?

I am about to order my first new corvette- I have always thought red exterior/black interior was the only real option, but the red interior in the C7 looks amazing- any red interior owners regret it? Does the wow factor on the interior ever wear off?? I'm thinking blade silver exterior.

Do it - the red interior looks great with a silver, blue, white, gray, or black exterior.

The two tone interior you can get on the 2016's is really good looking too. It breaks up the solid red and really looks sharp.

I think the "all" adrenaline red is a little to much red. Two tone, tones it down just enough.

I have a BS with 2LT adrenaline red interior (not two tone) and it looks awesome. I actually like the all red seats better than the two tone, but to each their own.

And I have not gotten tired of it. In fact, it is one of the things that continues to draw me to it and others as well. Add red calipers and it pulls it all together. You won't be sorry going with AR.

Be aware that all Adrenaline Red interiors are two-tone. The amount of red vs. black depends on which Preferred Equipment Group (1LT / 2LT / 3LT) you choose; the higher number of the PEP, the more area that's covered in red. What the folks here are referring to when they say "two-tone" is a separate option for two-tone seats; that's what's shown in the photos. If you order Adrenaline Red without the two-tone seats, the seats will be covered in solid red and the rest of the interior will be two-tone red and black.

Everything is a "total ferrari wanna be" But I got it for $80 grand instead of a $200 Thousand plus ..... Not only that, BUT I can drive it every day and change my own oil and if I want....I can change the seats for a WHOLE LOT LESS.

I have a '15 and love the A/R interior. ever since 1953 I have wanted a white with red Corvette. Got it, love it, would not be without it!
If you feel the A/R might get a little overpowering check into the Spice Red interior, still red, but a bit more subdued. And a whole lot more of the interior is red. Also a whole lot more George Washington,s out of your pocket.
