Default Atomic Orange C5

What do you guys think of this ? Im not in the market anymore, but maybe someone is looking for a different looking C5. I do not know the seller, and am not promoting this car. I know he says burnt orange, but is it Atomic Orange ?

I bought a 97 a couple months ago and am planning on the same paint. I could have saved a fortune on this one. I would just sell mine and buy that, but I just dumped 8 grand in performance and suspension mods into it for racing.
