Well, from what was posted this week, red on black (ebony) is about the most common color combo. The GS is the most popular version, and a manual tranny isn't exactly rare either. I might be tempted...

Give me a Vette that looks like a Ferrari (and frankly the C6 looks close enough for my tastes) and I'm happy.

I'd be embarrassed to step out of that first car, and the second... well......
