:bigears

Thanks for the mention...this advance data we get sometimes is only ppossible thanks to the enthusiastic people that appreciate our efforts and allow us to pass this on to you. My thanks to the people that share what the can, when they can...we had this info for a while and slipped her out here:
ON JAN 29th

please note GM has confirmed nothing and can change at a moments notice, there is much more coming, we are not allowed to say. As my Mototown man and others say go, we will so stay tuned.

AGAIN, as I have said in the past, let's not let any advance data have you overlook the incredible efforts and value right in front of us from the Corvette team. We are in some challenging times, grab what you can when you can folks and Greg and I thank-you for the opportunity to assist with your purchases. Hoep to do business with all of you.

On the GM Locator for 2010, it shows code 70U Name TBD.

Maybe they have the color but haven't named it yet.

So can anyone confirm or deny if this rumor is true?

You need to hope a 2010 CORVETTE returns and NOT a paint job. Got to get the priorties correct.

You guys can be such downers sometime! There is so much doom and gloom on this site lately! :rolleyes:

I would think that if the Corvette wasn't returning for 2010, we'd know by now! But the way you guys keep talking, it's almost as if you're wishing it to happen. It's the same thing with how the media keeps reporting so much bad news about the economy, how about we focus on the positive stuff instead of making things worse by constantly saying negative things?? So my priorities are straight here, I want to hear nothing but positive stuff in this thread, I don't want the silly negative stuff in this thread. Thank you. :cheers:

I have a Victory Red C6 and my next door neighbor owns a Torch Red C5 and they are night and day next to each other. I like the Victory Red MUCH better and that is NOT just because I own the VR but because the Torch Red looks orange next to the VR.

If we did not have 6 inches of snow here, I'd get them out and take some pics for you guys to see....

ALSO, on another note, I have a buddy with an 06 Victory Red and next to my 08 Victory Red you'd think his was Precision Red. A huge difference in those two cars. That one puzzles me. My VR has more orange in it than his 06 VR but much less orange than a C5 Torch Red.

I love mine!
 
If you want to see Precision Red at its very best, check out the pics in this thread. And there were only 30 PR verts ever made! :flag:

I love torch red, absolute favorite. Reason enough for me to upgrade from my 05 to 10 :D

It is NOT OUR fault!

GM and others caused the "doom and gloom", if you and I and others could have prevented it, we sure would have! Have a nice day! :cheers:

:iagree: Will GM be around in 2010?

Just my $.02
 
I drive a 05 Precision Red and wish they would bring it back ! I had a 91 Bright Red which was between the Torch Red and The Victory Red Last year at the C5/C6 Bash I talked to a guy who worked at the plant in the paint shop and he told me when the 05's came out there were so many complaints that the Precision Red color wasn't RED enought that GM quit painting them and changed to Victory Red.I also owned a 98 in Light Pewter Metallic and wished they would bring it back too !! How about bringing back Polo Green or Bowling Green ?:thumbs: BTW CRABBY , I'm 1 of the 1274 Coupe's (like you) !

rjwoerheide 02-04-2009 02:18 PM

How many reds do we really need? :leaving:

CRABBYJ 02-04-2009 02:22 PM

Lightman, I don't know about you, but I haven't seen a red I like better than my PR. I guess I'll never trade up, unless PR comes back on a C7!:flag:
