Great shots BTW. Extremely helpful!!!

The exterior on this car is Crystal Red.

I just can't decide if I would like the Khalahari with the Torch red. I was thinking about that as a choice for my own order and just couldn't decide if it worked together. There are times when I look at it and think it would work but then still other times that I think it goes too orange to work well with the Torch. I have not personally seen a TR with Khalahari. The Khalahari looks good with Crystal, Cyber Gray and awesome with the Lime Rock Green.

That's what concerns me. I haven't seen one car from GM yet that had this combination and you would think it would be pretty obvious --- unless it doesn't work.

What's your take on Kalahari with NRB exterior? Which is what I'm considering.

Excellent detail photos of rarely seen parts of the car.

Thank you!

Great photos, Paul. These are some of the details that many of us hadn't seen before. :cheers:

I think it is a great combination.

Looking forward to those photos!

Sometimes a slight variation in color can make an otherwise expected-to-match combination not match. I, personally, have not seen it in person, so I cannot give a conclusive opinion other than that I would not risk it for my own car. I probably wouldn't go with Adrenaline Red interior either with the TR, because of its slightly-off shade of red. Other than black interior, the only other color that I think would appeal more in person to the masses is the gray.

Well, I'll keep you posted on the Adrenaline Red interior. That's what I have coming. I have seen that color combo in person. That red interior was designed specifically for the Torch Red exterior and was the reveal choice. Of course, gratuitous photos to follow. :lol:

They all can connect to the radio. It is optimized for two connected media types among the 3 USB ports and the SD card. Additionally, you can just use it for charging when the device is not in use (selected) as a media device.

Do you know if they charge at 500mA or at 2.1A?

2.1 is what I recall.

Or, could it be perfect for, say...driving gloves? :rofl:

I've seen two-piece magnetic cup holder bases. They are pretty cool. Each half uses an adhesive base, one for the compartment, one for the cup/mug. When you put the cup in the holder it kind of clicks into place securely. Really neat.

Maybe get a "driving mug" to go with the driving gloves and glasses? Eh? Eh? (rib jab).

Now you tell me!!! My car is already built. The last eight Corvettes I have owned had been Red, in fact all but one Precision Red and one Victory Red, were Torch Red which is my favorite color for Corvette. I would have loved to order TR and with AR interior in 3LT, but early reports I had read were that the AR interior was a little too dark for TR. That, and the fact there is all that carbon flash trim, got me thinking I should play it safe a go with black on black. Oh well, I am sure I will return to TR when the Hi-Po model comes out in a year or two.

Didn't know about the cup holder or the back hidden compartments. Thanks.

That is great! I've put in my order for Torch and Kalahari for a convertible but it's a bit of a leap of faith!

My spec is 3LT so I'm a little more concerned about the dash the red.

keenanj 09-06-2013 08:08 AM

do you know if Kalahari seats will be available on the 1lt? I was told they owuld be at carslile would but the chevy website configuration only allows black red and grey?

Cruiter 09-06-2013 08:23 AM

It should be great looking. I started with 3LT then on the advice of my dealer along with looking at photos I switched to 2LT. One, the black top of the dash should help the total match with other trim like the black wheels (side view like my avatar). 2nd, big savings to apply to other things like under hood Stingray pad :thumbs:.
