The colors all look great, can't wait to see all of them in person.

I'd have to agree.

You know, it's surprizing, but I saw the C6 at it's "unveiling" up here at Hillcrest Chevy the other month, and they had a Precision Red model... and in person, it was gorgeous! I dunno... maybe I'm in the minority of 'Vette lovers with that opinion... but maybe it just shows better in person than it does in pictures.

It could have been Mag Red too, but I don't think it was. I would have asked the GM rep, but people were hounding him with questions. There were more Corvettes of all generations in that parking lot than I've seen in one spot in my entire life! Unfortunately, some guy in a Porsche Cayan had the nerve to park right in the middle of us all...

I got to get up close and personal with a silver one at a car show last week and I like it much better in person. It seems the more I look at the car the better I like. I didn't have that with the C5 though. The minute I laid eyes on a C5 I thought :jawdrop: What a beauty!

Was leaning toward Black....BUT Magnetic Red is giving it a run for the $$. I voted for the red but the jury is still out. :bang:

Any color, as long as it had the C5 body option.

I agree with Ted, Mag Red is my color of choice.
They should offer the Z06 that color.

ARCTIC WHITE, of course.....

Luckily they still wanted too much for the cars in stock because I have since decided to wait on the C6 after staring at pictures of the Precision Red along with my assumption that the car is underrated at 400 hp. With only two votes for Red I am beginning to wonder if I will have the same opinion after seeing it in person like I did with the Orange and Lemans Blue. I guess there is always silver. I know it looks real sharp on the convertible in pictures.
Isn't it great that the biggest decision in buying a fantastic sports car is what color Corvette you will buy?

I have waited this long to buy so I guess a few more months of waiting to see it in person will be worth it.
Wow, this post came back from the dead. I can't change my vote to the color I chose though......

Arctic White of course.

Nice smiley btw..

Re: What Color C6 Would You Order?

my second choice after the white was the LeMans blue. I love that color but there are so few white vettes around.
