Thanks for posting the pictures Dave. I like the Atomic Orange much more than the DSOM, but that's just me.

In the first picture, the car on the left is DSOM and the car on the right is Atomic Orange. In the second picture, the car closest to you is DSOM and the other is Atomic Orange.

Hey, I didn't know the Boss 302's came in 4 wheel drive?

Don't worry Frank, I'm sure most of your car was completed on Friday when they weren't recovering from the party...but they were probably thinking about it!

Yep, third C6. The Z06 was sold and the 2005 will be traded-in.

Your dating yourself with the mention of 77 Sunset Strip. But, would love to see some of those shows again.

1) Hugger Orange
2) DSOM
3) Atomic Orange

I sure wish GM would have gone more in the Hugger Orange direction... I would have strongly considered that for my Z06. My VY arrived Friday night, though, and I saw it yesterday for the first time! I pick it up tomorrow.

I'm definietly in love with that screamin' yellow color!!!

I personally like both colors! I'd love to have one of each, I'd drive the Atomic Orange one on cloudy days and the Sunset Orange one on sunny days.
