Red lovers: which red?

[rjstaaf]

Great choice Bob, looking forward to seeing more pics. What year is it, any more details? I used to drop by Roger's Corvette in Orlando on a regular basis. I do agree with you on the '80s look, I also like the C4 body style. One of these days I hope to have a 1996 Yellow 'vert or Silver Collector's Edition 'vert similar to the pic below in the garage next to the Mustang.



Have fun with the new toy

Hey Bob, it's a 1990 bright red with a red interior. It has 21,600 miles on it and is in excellent condition. I wanted a car with a few miles that had been driven regularly, and also one in near-mint condition. This car was really impeccible and was a blast to drive home.

I want to change the fluids, give it a detailing once-over (even though it's pretty great), and I have to get it emissions inspected before I can register it. So I won't be driving it for about a week or so, but man is it great to look out in the garage and see it!!

I have a nice poster in my garage with a 1996 Collectors Edition convertible sitting in a desert with a heat-mirage reflection of a 1959 Stingray racer. It's really great!

Here are a couple more shots of the car at the previous owner's place:

Edit: and I have the original wheels (and original Goodyear Gatorbacks on the front wheels). The tires are still in decent shape. I need to pull the backs and check the manufacture date (the fronts are 4 years old, the backs are older). I'll probably get Eagle F1 Supercars in about a year, as even that short treadlife will last me close to 10 years, and I've no intention of ever driving it in rain.

Solid red, all the way. When comparing a well prepped and waxed vehicle, solid red will always stand out more than just about any color out there, including black.

Yes, the Italians are quite good with red cars

Solid, bright red looks amazing but requires much more upkeep than the metallic. Personally I would take the extra time in keeping the paint perfect and go with the solid red. Porsche Guards Red color, oh yeah, makes the metallic look crappy IMO.

My absolute favorite color on any car I've ever seen is Magnetic Red on the C5/C6. That color is stunning, IMO. I also liked the Laser Red on my 1998 Mustang GT.

Here's a link to an Ebay auction that has my current favorite red, which happens to be on the new C6. I saw this color in person just the other day, and it's absolutely stunning!

My favorite red is Honda's Milano Red. I used to own a 1992 Honda Prelude Si in Milano Red. Absolutely beautiful. My sister-in-law has since trashed it.
