Wow, VR and Torch are closer than I thought. PR, however, is :thumbs:

I had both colors and prefer my VR now over torch red.

I loved my 00 Torch Red, Truly a classic Corvette color but it was time for a change.

Nice pics:thumbs:

I've also had both, it seems the Torch Red has alot more orange in it.

Sometimes I wish my VR were a little brighter, but I like it.

Now my Velocity Yellow, that is BRIGHT:D

I would like to see a Monterey Red and a Precision Red together.

I've never seen a red I didn't like, but Torch Red is my favorite.

They are both beautiful!:thumbs:

Nice comparison. I am looking seriously at VR and it is close to Torch Red, just a shade or two darker which is a good thing. :cool: :cheers:

Keep in mind the C6 is newer, so that'll account for a little more depth and richness to the color. The C5 might be a little "sun-faded" from age.

Either way, I think I prefer VR. :thumbs:

Our C5 was Torch Red, our C6 is Victory Red.
Having looked at both cars in a wide variety of lighting conditions, I'll say that the Victory Red looks slightly better on a bright sunny day. Torch Red looks better on cloudy days, or early/late in the day.

:thumbs: VR :cool: :flag:

I loved my Torch red '97 but I haven't looked back since I brought home my Precision Red C6. There was one Torch red C6 made in an effort to bring a bright red to the C6 due to all the outcry (public and private within GM) the result is Victory Red. I saw the car and it did nothing for the lines of the C6 at all. I love my Precision red beauty.

Just like the guy from the four letter company said, any color you want as long as it's RED!

He likes the color of his car, what more can any of us ask?

Both nice but I still prefer Magnetic Red. But hey...how could you go 'wrong' with any color Vette? They're all good. :thumbs:

Orange??
 

I think that GearheadJIM is right. I just sold my Torch Red C5 and there is a drastic difference in the color depending on the sunlight. I took both of the following pictures within an hour of each other. The first one was in direct sunlight and the next one was taken when the sun went behind a cloud.

After I sold it, I bought a Monterey Red C6. That way I'm not having a mental wrestling match!

Ahhh red! Mine is VR and I love it! Thanks for the pics!:thumbs:

:iagree:

:iagree:

When I heard Torch Red was being discontinued and that the new red
was Victory Red...I was a little concerned. But after I picked up my
07 VR Vert I was VERY happy with it.

Long live RED Corvettes!!! :thumbs:
