Default Torch Red, C5's Best Color

IMO, best color for that generation, it just pops..........

Had a few of the fellers over today, a little clay bar action turned out nice.

Millennium Yellow is the only color that looked good.

I never warmed to the C5. Not even sure why really. I can appreciate a nice example of course but the overall car just leaves me kinda meh.

C5 was revolutionary.


C5Z06 is on another level.


C6/C7 was just a cosmetic update to the C5.
