I'm 27.

It was either Monterey Red or LMB (with comp grey wheels) and I went with Monterey Red. I think the tan interior is a must with Monterey Red.

I'm 22, and for me, my #1 choice would be Lemans Blue. #2 would be Victory Red.


A close 3rd is Monterey Red with factory chromies. Although I really prefer the ebony interior over any of the other colors, this is the one and only exterior color I would probably consider having with a tan interior. It's just a clean cut, classy looking combo.

If I had more money than I knew what to do with, I'd have a LMB or VR Z06, and a Monty Red F55 coupe for a daily driver.

I need a promotion

I am 63. I think color is not age specific, only a preferance. I happen to like every Vette color.

Any theories about Magnetec Red Metallic II? If couldn't get Mag Red, I'd go with Monterey Red.

50 but everyone and their brother tell me (and much more importantly, my really good looking wife) that we look much younger.

Monterrey red with cashmere interior and good giggly wiggly it is a really good looking car! I also like the LeMans blue a lot.

I'm 38 and have a MR with titanium interior. I've always liked that color. My boat has it and my first Vette was a burgendy 69. I was split between MR and DSOM... so I flipped a coin. I'm happy!

PS My frinds have accused me of driving an "old man's car" on more than one occasion.

Default Which "Red" Do You Want?

I'm 58 and I just sold a Torch Red 2002 Coupe (below)

And went to this...I was on the verge of a Victory Red coupe but couldn't "Pull the trigger" because the colors
were too much alike. I had my first Vette at 23 when I came home from the war.
