Today was the day ...
... that we picked up our 2019 Stingray.
Museum delivery by Al H.was great, just as expected. I even talked with a forum member who had read my previous post, 'Tomorrow Is The Day ...' Lots of nice people stopped by and commented on the car. The Spice Red interior exceeded my expectations. It's gorgeous. Bought a bag full of C-Magic products and used the detail wax to 'de-bug' the front end upon arrival at the hacienda. Now comes the hard part - waiting for the yellow line to disappear from the tachometer. BTW, they're down to the 500 mile dry sump oil change plus one after 20% oil life. That's one less than the 2016.
As a reminder: 2019 Stingray, Shadow Gray, Spice Red, 3LT, Z51, 7M, MSRC, black motorsports wheels, black badges, red calipers. Great deal on both ends, new and trade, from Mike Furman.
And now for the show. I had to wait until we got home for a little sunshine. The Spice Red looks darker in person.

Wow. That is sweet! I just sold my Z, had a z51 and probably will go back to that. Perfect car and great colors.

Yes, Spice Red is darker and, IMHO, a more subtle and richer red than Adrenaline red. We thought it suited the Shadow Gray exterior better. Again, opinions vary. We were surprised that it had only been delivered in 1% of Corvettes as of 1 April, according to Harlan Charles' presentation at the last Bash.

Yes, kind of has a brown tint to it, as opposed ton the deep red of Adrenaline.
