Default Torch Red ZO6 thread?

I've searched and I've not come up with anything. I'm going to be purchasing a 15 z06 soon and I'm torn between black and torch red. I've seen a ton of black cars, but I can't seem to find a thread with a bunch of torch red cars. Can someone please direct me if there is such a thread?

Thanks in advance

I'm think I am leaning towards torch red. Your cars are beautiful. I'm guessing there is no only torch red thread. I really like stangkilr's stingray, which is lowered and red. My goal for the car is to be procharger wth a small shot of nitrous, and be around 1100 Rwhp or so, but first I have to decide on the color!

Look at white also. I was between red white or black. I went with white because the shop that does all my performance stuff had a white one in the shop and I fell in love with it. I'm sorry I can't put a picture up here today because for some reason it won't let me. My plan is similar to yours about butting a ProCharger on and wanting to be around 1000rwhp. From what I'm told it won't be hard to do at all. Good luck with you decision!! You really can't go wrong with any color. They all look awesome..

I wasn't able to find a torch red thread either. Just use google images, there are plenty there. I was originally 100% sold on black, given the sinister black thread. Then I saw a torch red at a dealer and new that was for me. The black looks great, but it hides all of the contrasting black trim bits. I was afraid red would be too much, as I'm not into flashy, but this car begs for it.....and I bought my first red car.

Default I was between Corvette Racing Yellow and Torch Red... Torch Red wins!!!












And since I have had several black interiors, I went with the AR interior and absolutely love it!!

Her name is Roja!!!

Good Luck.

the more I see the TR, the more I want it. my wife says it looks cheap though, and prefers the SG. I think I will end up with a TR car. they just look so good with the black contrast.

My favorite color combination is the Red/Black or Black/Red. My C5 Z06 was TR with the combo Black/TR interior.

What wheels are those?
