I'd suggest plaid is the run down interior du jour. And I know tact is not your strength.

Go for the Red.

The Red interior is the most valuable Corvette interior color and looks the best.

My 15 Blade Silver Z51 coupe had the 3LT Adrenaline Red interior. Loved it.

All red gets old real quick. You need to break it up with some black. All black turns it into a cavern as well. Just do a two tone and it will look great.

You are of course asking for opinions ..while im glad red interiors are available for those that want them.

I personally prefer black interiors.

just my opinion. At the end of the day you will have to decide what you prefer ..

no wrong answer...just buyers preference.

if it was a lease Id say go wild...if its a long term purchase...id suggest black...

again...this is just an opinion.

ps it will probably be stunning with the red seats given your exterior color.

id still opt for black.

Do your retina a favor and look for other interior colors...

Get two tone. All red, especially on the seats, is too much. If you do white with all red, thats an oldschool throwback that must be respected.

Red all the way. Although, when I pull the trigger on my C8 it will most likely be Natural Tan / Zeus Bronze this time after 2 C7's with red.

The red is one of the signature colors for the interior of the Corvette. I went with it on my C7 and will do so again on my C8 order.

I wish 'Bordello' Red was available in two tone black and a few more black accents here and there.

Going to go with the Adrenaline Red interior just debating on the exterior color . I am thinking possibly Artic White, Blade Silver or Torch Red.

I like the 2 tone red too (Long Beach Red exterior). But on a 2LT that requires moving up to the GT2 seat. Waiting for pricing to see how much that adds. The GT1 seat in all red is OK, just not as nice as the 2 tone.

Does anyone here have an Adrenaline Red interior with a Long Beach Red exterior on their C7? Do they go well together? I’m having trouble visualizing the bright Adrenaline Red interior with the dark exterior.

Would love Red GT2 seat without carbon fiber trim. Why that isn’t an option I wish I knew.
