Default Torch red/victory red for those wondering...

SIDE BY SIDE. 2011 on the left, 08 Victory on the right. I never realized the difference was this profound..
Think VICTORY is my new #1 color with TORCH a close #2!

We have owned both, and I'm glad we didn't have to choose between them.
We just ordered whatever was available that year and drove away with a big grin.

On a bright sunny day, I prefer Victory Red by a small margin.
On a cloudy day or at dusk, I prefer Torch Red by a small margin.

Sure glad to get my Torch Red 012 coupe, but I didn't care for Torch Red on pics of the 1st and only Torch Red 05 C6.

100% Torch supporter baby. I don't even like red cars and that shade gets me going every time.

I am glad that I bought my car when VR was available because I only buy red and I am so-so on the TR

I could not have said it any better and I have owned both also VR during the day in sunlight and dusk or a cloudy day TR stands out more .100%
