Hello everyone, I am new to forums in general. I'm 80 and have had many performance vehicles including 20 performance motorcycles. Hot rodding has been in my blood since I was a kid. And I'm still that way. Now I have a 2021 Stingray with lift kit. The color is Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat which to me is what makes my car sizzle. I'll post an HDR image of it soon. I traded a new 2020 Shelby for this Stingray. I just had to have this C8. Thanks

Welcome to the Forum, Bob, and congratulations on your C8!
I agree with you; I think RMMT is a great color for the C8’s lines!

The color is dark red at one angle yet vied from another angle see other image.

Both of these images are High Dynamic Range photos which I am recently learning.
