Both are solid choices IMHO. Wait until inventory becomes available in real life and then go see in person? (I'm lucky 'cause Kerbeck and Criswell both are fairly close to my house so seeing a big inventory not an issue for me).

Welcome. Time is on your side for equal passions to shift. But you can’t go wrong with red (like my C2 on left). What wonderful decisions.

Similar dilemma. I went with white but would be happy with either. My dad had a white '64 so no reason other than that. I think both colors look great and can't wait to see all the colors that every one chooses.

I’m leaning towards ceramic matrix grey. It looks really sharp on this car.

I am leaning toward Ceramic Matrix Gray with the Cool Gray interior. I AM an old man so it fits me perfect. I currently have an Arctic White Z06 and believe me that tired *** old color garners a lot of attention from young people where ever I go in this college town

I post all in-the-wild shots of C8s on www.Instagram.com/_c8corvette

The only colors that haven’t been seen on the C8 are Accelerate Yellow and Ceramic Matrix Grey.

I'd go with red but I'm the kinda guy who will never get a silver, white, black or grey car. Especially on a sports car. I think the full red interior is a bit too much with the Torch red. Maybe two tone seat option?
