Need help picking color!

So I am making the decision to buy my first Corvette. I currently have a 2014 Red Camaro convertible 2SS. I am buying a corvette tomorrow and I can not decide on which one to get. I would really like a Red Corvette with Red interior but I would have to wait 8 - 12 weeks for it to get built since they do not have any in stock. BUT they do have this Yellow Z51 corvette in stock and it is beautiful! The yellow one I can take home tomorrow, the red one would take about three months to get. I am also keeping my Camaro, so would it be bad to have two red cars? What would you choose? Honest opinions please!!! Thanks!

Lucky You

I like the idea of a red stingray with red interior (Everything red) but that's just my opinion. IF you think you can endure the wait order the stingray with the options you want on it. If you can't do the wait get the yellow one.

I would definitely get a white stingray to match my summit white camaro if I did have the money though.

For such an expensive purchase, I wouldn't settle. Buy exactly what you want so you can be happy with it

Get the one you want. That means you're going to have to drive a convertible 2SS for a few months. The tragedy!

Yellow attracts more bugs.

I would personally get the yellow, but at the end of the day you should get what you have your heart set on, don't settle for less. Nothing like owning a car and saying damn I should have got the red one.

Do not settle for a color you don't really want, when you're dropping that much money

So what you are really asking is should I settle and go for the instant gratification or should I wait and get exactly what I want?

SIM! But I am biased. Blemishes don't show as much and they are not very common.

I would go with the Shark Grey or the Laguna Blue both with the black interior.
