New Red Color for C6?

[jazzlove]

Hi everyone,

I was just reading a new thread on another Vette website by a guy named Rick Conti about a new C6 color. In the thread, he states that GM will be discontinuing Precision Red in favor of another red color called Victory Red. Can anyone confirm the info?

To the best of my knowledge, this is correct. Victory Red will be RPO 74U. If you manage to get a Precision Red C6 that was built for production....you've got one hell of a collectible on your hands.

However, I have a funny feeling, we haven't seen the end of this debate regarding the color of red to be used.

Speaking of color, I just ordered a C6 convertible "New Red" w/red leather, and I wanted a beige top. Nope got to be black. When you spend this much money what is with the no?

New Red Color for C6

It is true the precision red has been replaced by Victory red. Also the dealer said there is a new metallic silver, forgot the name and a new interior gray color. Can anyone add information on these new exterior and interior colors? Also can one still order the Precision red anyway?
