That's easy! Which one do YOU like best? I have owned both, and for my taste you can't beat yellow.

Or another solution, buy both then drive the color that strikes you that day.....

You can get a Corvette in any color you wish as long as it is Torch Red.

TR is the best.

Yellow was my second choice though.

I traded in my velocity yellow 427 for the torch red Z06---love them both.......but I do find myself yearning for the yellow every so often. The yellow is an eye catcher without a doubt.......plus I still have all my yellow accessories (2 dozen plus shirts; two coats; 3 watches with yellow trim; 3-4 pairs of sneakers with yellow trim; 4-5 pairs of shorts with yellow; yellow Ipod cover; etc., etc.). I love my torch red, but I would have gotten a yellow Z if the dealer had it and those were my choices.

I was in the same boat ordering 3 months ago...

If it was the yellow from 15 I would have bought it. The new yellow is a little paler and I didn't like it as much. Ended up with:

Torch Red. Looks better when recently waxed.

I forgot about the bugs...................true story......I was at a show in the Spring when a lot of the bugs were coming out for the warm sun, etc.-------my yellow car was COVERED, I mean covered with hundreds and hundreds of bugs, while the cars around me maybe had 1 or 2 bugs on them. After that I did notice how the bugs gravitated toward the yellow cars, and left the other colors alone. And if the top was down-----a ton of these bugs would end up on the seats, etc. as well while they waited for their space on the car to open up.
