Author Topic: NFB- No red C6's ?? 35th6spd 1st Gear Member # 1243 posted                    According to an article in the Feb '04 Vette magazine, insiders indicated that the '05 C6 will not be available in red (a most popular color for sports cars)....and that the starting MSRP for a base model will approach $60K!!! I gotta wonder what GM is thinking....still good value dollar per HP, but the price is approaching high dollar, prestige sports cars like Porsche -------------------- 2002 35th LE anniversary SS #1420 SSOA Member M02-1420 6 Speed/Hurst LS1 Posts: 154 | From: Princeton Junction, NJ | Registered: Nov 2001  |  IP: Logged Steve da Wrench 3rd Gear Member # 1301 posted                       Thats because the vette is a high-end prestige sports car, and IMO, much better than a stinkin' Porsche The price has to go up some time to pay for all that cool stuff they put in it! It just means I cant have one anytime soon [ 11.

There is a Magnetic Red, or something like that . . . .

If anyone is interested here is a link to the dealer order sheets, no prices but still interesting. I was surprised at the number of colors listed for the conv't tops.
