I didn't like George Dubya' or his administration (it was pretty awful), but compared to the current administration I'd settle for awful.

Chrystal red, regular red Vettes do very little for me [flame suit on].

Still. the crystal red ZR1 used in the MT shootout against the red Viper had black wheels & interior and looked real good......... personally I am just getting a little burned out with all the blacked out wheel wells everywhere I look .

Wurd!

CRT for me. This is coming from a current VR owner. Just looks classier to me. And no I don't have dentures yet.

This has always been true. I don't have any idea why,but old guys love the maroon shades of red. It is definitely and old man color.

GM should of called it "CRM' ...Crystal Red Magnetic...'cuz whereever I go ...my Crystal Red c7 attracts a lot of looks , thumbs up from passerbyers and admirers who stop to look at my dream car!!
Best auto ever purchased from GM for over 35 years...so much for trying to stay low key!!

Either one, really... I know I like Torch Red on black wheels because that's what is in my garage, but the deeper red looks good as well

Personally, I'm jonesing for a white car on black wheels next, either C6Z06/ZR1, C7 or Viper (or maybe a 996 GT3)
