Torch Red / Red Side Mirrors
Bought my C7Z used, Arctic White, AW Side Mirrors, thinking of changing to Carbon Fiber, Carbon Flash, or just maybe Torch Red, but never seen TR in person, and fear regrets, so if anyone has done, please post up pics,,, thanks in advance.
I found this one, but think a photoshop:

I like the racing-look of TR mirrors on white. And I do think you are right, your original photo looks like a photoshop. I don't think that is TR shade.

I think if it were me, I would choose either the carbon fiber or carbon flash for the mirrors. But, it depends on just how flashy you want to be.

Though side mirrors being a necessity, they are not a feature that I would want to highlight so I always go with body color to make them less noticeable that trying to draw the eye to them. Just my 2-cents.
Having said that, I prefer colored coordinated calibers as they help the wheels 'pop' especially with black wheels.

Definitely not red for the mirrors.

Leave them body color unless you just want to be the only person in the world with red mirrors on a stock Corvette.
Maybe you can paint the end of the spoiler red too, like the race version.

Thanks for all the comments, always appreciated.
I bought my car used, as the value was great, did not have Arctic White at the top of my list, wanted at least three other color options, was sold on the 'All Options', 1,600 miles and red interior--damn, that interior is amazing.
I may get them wrapped first in TR to see if I like, also considered Red / Black CF Hydro-dipped, as have done this with all my exterior and interior parts on my C6 and was much better than I thought.
I will keep you updated, as someone said I may be 'the one and only', which ain't too bad if you can keep the laughter to a minimal.
BTW, red comes into play, as trying to compensate for the big white canvas, here is the hood stinger I put on last month:
