Default More "Red Mist" Shots

EDIT: I white-balanced some of the pics in this post and re-uploaded. Same images, just with tweaked WB.


Un-edited other than WB, cropping, and blacking out some license plates (should be pretty obvious). The various shots are using different exposure settings, but no filters or any other "photoshopping".

Here are a couple under an overcast sky:




One in the sun, butted up against an existing Long Beach Red:


A few with nose to nose with a Torch Red C8:

The last 4 shots, were they taken with a Gameboy or an iPhone 2? Jesus... perfect opportunity for sun pics and the pics look like they were taken in the C4 era.

I love it, that is what I'm ordering with a tan GT2 seat interior. Should be stunning.

A very sharp color. I like it a lot. Looks like a hint of cinnamon to me from the pictures. Very nice.

This image provides a pretty good comparison.



Are those edge red calipers?

Are those Edge Red brake calipers on the Red Mist Tintcoat car? I assume the Torch Red car has the Bright Red brake calipers.

It will be interesting to see if more units are sold in Red Mist or Torch Red.

The last photo in full sun is just stunning. Clearly the best color Corvette has ever done.

Have any of the non-Torch Reds ever outsold Torch Red? Doubtful.

Exactly my question also, as my order for a Red Mist HTC currently has the Edge Red calipers specified. I assume the wheels are the Trident Spectra Gray (which is what I am planning on changing to from Carbon Flash). Now I just need to decide on the mirrors. Initially going with Carbon Flash to match my original wheel choice, but probably will go back to two-tone.

Not even close, torch red will be 4 times the count of red mist.

I think Phil is right. This color is stunning, and will be what I eventually order my Z06 in. But it won't even appear on Torch Red's virtual RADAR. The only time TR doesn't sell well is when it doesn't exist.

Torch Red is "free" right? guessing Red Mist is $995?
