Default Side by Side Red & White C7

Does anyone have pictures of a white c7 next to a red c7 for comparison? I am having a hard time deciding what color to go with. I was set on a red z51 with black wheels, but white looks better and better every time i look at it.

I have the Z51 Arctic White with the Red interior ....I was on the fence with my color choice.my last two cars were Velocity Yellow and and victory red....,
I like to wax my car and stand back and look a the car and say wow that car has some nice shine,that color really pops.
Your not gonna get that with the White...... with that being said, I get lots of complements with AW Red int. color combination...

Let me start out by saying years ago I bought a white car (non-Corvette) off the lot, loved the car, hated the color. I sold it in months and bought the same car in a different color. What can I say I was young and didn't make a good decision.

I bought for my wife's 50th a new C7 as a surprise. So I quietly listened to her comments whenever she saw a new C7 at a show or in a magazine. She wanted white- I convinced myself it was her car- her color and ordered white after I saw a red C7 at a show. She was right and white is the BEST color, we (both now) believe to show the lines. Red is nice but doesn't seem to show the lines well.

The reason I hate white is you can spend hours waxing it and it don't look a bit different. A dark color not only can you see where you left off while waxing the shine afterward makes it all worth while.

I'm with ya!!! I've never had a white car til the C7. Yes it is a great color because the black panels balance it out. I have a neighbor who buys nothing but white and is a wax fanatic. I asked him if you can get white to pop he said oh yea!!! I've not seen it yet!! What I concluded in looking at his cars...... he uses high gloss tire shine and shine on any and all possible black trim. The black pops the white just follows along in the background.

Red baby is it !!!

But probably going to yellow on the next one......cause I've never had yellow then back to red!!!

White or red... There is no wrong choice. They were my two top picks as well.

I will add this. If you are going black wheels then either color is amazing. If you go silver or chrome wheels, I personally don't think red works as well as white in that case. If silver or chrome wheels, I would pick white. If black wheels you could pick either IMO.

This is an awesome pic, but I think it is photoshopped. The ship and the clouds don't look natural.

I just bought a white convertible off the showroom floor. Delivery is in a couple of weeks (dealer is several states away). I never liked white either until I saw it on the C7...
