Picked it up on november 8. After a few (some still unresolved) issues I am able to drive it around. All I can say is "Sweet". I can't compete for the best pictures, but thought I'd attach one anyway. More to come.

Thanks! The silver wheels just look at home nice and subtle. Really not fan of chrome wheels lil to shiny for my taste.

The sun really plays with this color.In direct sun it's not a burgundy red like the MAGNETIC RED on the c5,off sun it gets darker.Like this photo.Haven't notice the purple in photo.Funny,Night Race Blue has alot of purple in direct sun.2 Colors for the price of 1.Good luck matching panels on a respray?

I ordered the same outside configuration. Your car tells me I will be very happy (and VERY JEALOUS right now...).

Beautiful car!

I'm with you, Mike. Monterey Red was the best Corvette red I've ever had, and I think it was only available for one or two years. But I'm headed for the Museum on December 9 to take delivery of my Crystal Red baby (Z51 with 3LT interior in titanium and ebony and black wheels).

I was going for torch red at first but got a better deal on a crystal red one instead. After seeing these pics I am so happy that I went with crystal red. I got all approved and am sending in my down payment, buying from Macmulkin over 3000 miles away!! anyone know a good shipper? Thanks ....Glen

Black

I've been considering something similar, and I'd go black roof.

Can't wait until the verts start being delivered and pictures come out then dealer inventory.
