Which red do you like best?
I've seen a lot of red 5th's, but I fell in love with the 2015 RRM 2LS that I purchased about a month ago, and after a test drive I had to have it. I once owned a 30th '97 Z28, but my new baby delivers every bit of the 323HP compared to the 290 that the '97 had. Although a "base" model, it's my favorite of any car I've ever owned. RRM is a really beautiful color.

I prefer a darker red to a brighter red. I like the color of yours. That would be the color I would own. I once owned a 91 Z/28 Convertible that was Bright Red with Bright Red interior. Way too much red. I restored it and when I did the interior I changed the carpet and all the trim panels to black. Expensive Job but at least it broke up the interior a bit so I was blinded by all the red. The top was black.

None. Never been a fan of red cars, ever... not even on Magnum P.I.'s Ferarri when I was a kid. Then again I use to hate white cars too (even moreso than red) and now those are actually growing on me, so who knows how I'll feel in another 10 years.

That's how I feel about red as well. I'd never really wanted a red car, and this is the first one I've ever owned. There are a lot of similar colors being used by other manufacturers, but this is the only one that "does it" for me. She gets a lot of looks and "thumbs ups" when I take her for a spin. |

Red Rock Metallic is probably my favorite of the reds. Inferno Orange was my favorite color on the 5th gens, and that was the replacement of it. Looks amazing in the sunlight.
I have a crystal red, it's nice, but not the same.

Your red is very beautiful. Definitely classy.
I am bias to the red I prefer on my own cars. Here are all the cars I have owned in the past 16 years. lol.

Out of GM's color range, Crystal Red is my favorite so far. I think Red Rock is ok, but to me has a bronze tint to it. My favorite car color is Candy blood red. My favorite factory red is Soul Red metallic on Mazdas, or Ruby Red metallic on the Fords.
