Torch red was the color I've always ruled out when looking to buy a car.

Red is so cliche and IMO never looked that good anyways.

I would almost consider Victory Red in a C6 or Imola Red on a BMW, the darker red looks much better.

Is the OP talking about car color, or trim color? If the latter, I'm one of those black with red accent guys; I just love the combo.

Everyone has an opinion and to each their own. I have a TR one and it always gets compliments from people, but love all the c5z's.The white ones are catchy since you dont see many.

Well, while all Corvettes are (should be) red, the real story is those widened rear wheels of yours. Did you have the outer lip widened?

Black is the Absents of all color, White is the presents of all color, and Red is a primary.

So Red is all you need.

Well now i understand why henry ford said you can have any color as long as its black-----Enzo Ferrari said the same thing about RED--Red is truley the only sports car color! Cops like it so well they will pick it out in a radar trap--

IMO...I'm convinced that Red attracts radar!!

I like my Quick Silver 02Z.
