Default C8 Torch Red configuration

Hi guys the C8 will be my first vette. I’m looking to spec out a torch red exterior, bright red brake calipers with a adrenaline red interior and red seat belts but had a few questions. Are the reds all very different? I noticed when I selected the red seat belts it was really different and actually looked bad with the red interior. Which red brake calipers most closely resembles torch red is it the bright red one? Any idea if the red engine cover matches the torch red exterior? If they are all different shades if red I may just do the black seats with red belts or red seats and black belt and keeping the engine cover black. Thanks in advance!

I'm probably getting torch red also and for this reason I'm getting a black interior. It's all preference, plenty of people have torch red C7's with adrenaline red interior and are happy since it's close and in the same family. GM wouldn't allow this combination if it were an abomination. I personally would rather have red/black than have the red be slightly off. I think I am ok with the bright red calipers though with the torch paint.

Why would you get everything red, lol? Whatever, it is your car I guess.

I really like the Zeus/Natural Z51. But at the end of the day...………. I'll probably stick with Torch Red/Black C8.



Good luck on your decision.

If it doesn’t match def wouldn’t be getting all red. Black interior with the red seat belts and red stitching would be nice. Otherwise if the interior is red I believe seat belts need to be black.

Exterior wise I think red spoiler, red calipers, red mirrors with black wheels, black side vent. On the fence about red vs black side skirts and engine cover.
