Torch Red on C6?

[motorman]

I have a feeling, we may not have seen the last of Torch Red all together...

GM had the chance to go back to TR but instead went for VR.

You guys are whining about Torch Red only because you're used to seeing it and you believe John Heinricy's famous sound bite (which, also, ended up the title of Jim Schefter's book) "All Corvettes are Red and the rest are mistakes."

In fact, if you really stand back and look at the C6 for a good long time, you'll find the Precision Red or "Cobalt Red" as the designers call it, is a more rich, contemporary red and it better highlights the car's lines.

Torch Red looks good on C4s and C5s because their exterior designs lack some of the lines, shapes and curved surfaces that the C6 has. Cobalt Red better shows-off the shapes, edges and curves.

As for the C6 looking like a Miata?
LOL
You guys must be smoking some good crack.

No, your wrong. I prefer Torch red over "poor decsion" red because of the color. Nothing to do with Heinricy's quote, either. Yes, in fact, I have looked at "poor decision" red "for a good long time," and I still prefer Torch Red.

I also take offense about the crack smoking comment. I do NOT use illicit drugs of any kind, and do not appreciate the reference that I do!

I tried to picture a Torch Red C6 in my mind and it doesn't seem to work with that design. Maybe that is why they sought a more subtle red.

As mentioned earlier in this thread . . . I don't think the C6 Red Paint thing is over with yet!

Hasn't precision red been dropped as a color for 05? Can this be verified?
