I've seen some red interiors I've hated, but I love the way the red looks in Jeff's vette. The contrast with the white exterior is striking. I'm honestly surprised Jeff likes something that 'flashy' himself, since he's usually a 'does it come in black' kind of guy. :p

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer

Most of the color combos with red interior I'm not a fan of, but it makes sense with the white exterior. I personally think tan is the worst interior color - it just doesn't look right with anything except green exterior (which I can't stand).

The flat-bottom wheel is a nice upgrade - I'm considering that also, but not sure I want to put any more money into the C7, hoping that I can get my hands on a C8 when they come out. I still have to install my Z06 front grille.

I wanted metallic orange for our Spyder.
The only other Corvette I want has a Tension Blue interior.
I think it'd be fun to have a Jeep in bright yellow or mojito green.

The truck in my driveway right now that I am thinking about buying is black with light gray interior. Too flashy for my tastes... :d err:

All black is great until you realize you can’t tell it looks really good because there is no accent. Also everything looks different in person. If jeff thinks it looks good I bet he’s right.

It doesn't matter what any of us think. It's his car. As long as he likes it that is all that matters.

No, that kind of thinking is what makes stance and brodozers acceptable! :hulk:

Tastefully done interiors are acceptable. Stance and brodozers are dumb no matter what.

Honestly I hate them both, but I understand them both and accept them for what they are. Might make me hate the person driving it, but I hate everyone so...

I was talking to someone the other day about brodozers and they made an interesting point. They are a status symbol. Just like someone who drives a Lambo in the city where it is pointless and will never see a track or go fast, some people build brodozers.

I like that raspy, barking tone more than the rumbly gurggly stuff. It's definitely something I'm going to keep an eye on.

This is hands down the best sounding C7 I've heard.
