I love that color, very nice pic's...
I realize that you are still getting educated with your new toy, but is there anything that you would add or change " factory or aftermarket...
Thanks again...

Congrats and great write up of your impressions so far.

That color combo with black wheels, mirrors, and spoiler looks a lot better than I thought it would.

Congrats - and great pics
I agree with all that was said - my CRT has great Fit & Finish!!
The ride is very smooth in Sport or Tour mode and the pipes sound wicked when downshifting in Sport

Great looking car and extremely fun to drive.

Congratulations, It's beautiful.

I felt the same about the carpets and my non CF dash, both look great.

Black calipers probably would have been a better choice.

I REALLY like how you went with the black wing, black mirrors and yellow calipers. And im NEVER a fan of red cars (especially a vette) but DAMN thats pretty right there! Just enough off-set with the black! Well done!!

Congrats, Snorman! I currently own a Monterey Red C6 and will probably go with CRT when I get my C7. I am envious of your stable, but I only have room for one car toy at this time. I used to own a Shelby GT500. I sure like my Corvette a whole lot better!

Anyway, great write-up and a beautiful car! Enjoy!

It looks much more "candy apple red" and less dark than all the other crystal red photos posted here.

Did you use the "autocorrect" button or a brightness filter? If it is in fact this shade I like it better than torch red.

Awesome post. I have a CRT Z51 with Black wheels waiting in the queue. Your pics just sold me on the carbon flash spoiler and mirrors (all that black looks awesome with the red). Thanks!
