Default Adrenaline red interior with Artic White Exterior

I am not a big fan of the adrenaline red interior with Artic White exterior. I prefer black interior but I noticed that most dealers order adrenaline red with artic white. Why is that and what are your thoughts of the adrenaline red? Do you settle for the red since the black interior stock is limited?

that is the exact combo that I have. I would never get black interior on nay car. Not that enthused abut black interior and down here in texas it's hot as heck !!! I love black as an exterior color but would never own one (way to hard to keep clean). I have 2 other white vehicles.

I was against the red for a long time as well. Then saw a Z06 recently that was white with red..3LZ trim and two tone sueded inserts. It was sexy as hell.

That changed my feelings about red...aaaaand wouldn't you know it. I just bought a black Z51 with red 3LT.

Black seats get wicked hot I the GA summer heat. Even a warmish fall day they would get hot. Red isn't too bad after baking in direct sunlight with the to off.

Interesting... so no black interior because of the heat? I am really trying to like the red in the 1lt but drawn to the black. Agree about the black exterior being hard to keep clean. It seems white is the most popular with the C7...

You can always custom order your car to get it exactly how you want it.... I did.

But to answer your question it is because the red really stands out. Every other car has a black interior, its very standard and boring. Those who've had black interiors their whole lives (like me) want a color that pops when getting a sports car.

I never, ever, thought of owning a red interior on a car.

I have that combo with the black mirror/spoiler and black wheels. 3 years old and people still come up and check the car out.

It is a great color combo.

My vette is white with black interior with the red stitching. Red stitching only comes in the 3 LT. The red stitching makes it look very nice. I live in AZ. and the black interior is no big deal. The vette has cool seats and the air conditioning cools it quick enough. My windows are tinted also. The black interior is easy to keep clean.

Personally, I really like the two tone option for the red interior Tones it down just a touch.

The dealer is ordering the color combo that sells. If you order a 1lt with red interior, only the seats will be red and everything else will be black. White needs an interior that pops because white does not.

this is exactly the combo I am looking for. if this is what you want...don't settle...no matter what everyone else likes. if you don't like red...it will not "grow" on you.
i'm going to wait another year or so and get a grand sport with this combo.

Love the red. Originally though 3LZ Red might be too much, but it is a great combo.

Is that a stinger stripe or a carbon fiber insert? Looks great.
