According to Rick Conti:

The new bright Chromatic Orange Tint Coat called ATOMIC ORANGE, which as yet has not been shown to the public, will be unveiled to participants at the upcoming C5/C6 Bash April 20-22. The unveiling will be done as part of the event festivities on Friday, April 21st.
.
Tom Wallace, Corvette Chief Engineer along with retiring Chief Engineer, Dave Hill will be on-hand as part of the unveiling that is scheduled to take place in the front circle.

Thanks for the info, Rick.

Wish I didn't live so far away from Bowling Green. It would be cool to make a day trip up there for events like this.

I wonder if this is the same bright orange that they offer on the HHR? If so, I think it will be ugly.

It would just be wrong to pass judgement until we have seen the new color in a variety of lighting conditions---just plain wrong...........well I like doing the wrong thing----DSOM is better looking by far---

Absolutely. Look at the Monteray Red - The color is incredible in the sun compared to OK/nice in the shade.

ATOMIC ORANGE???? NOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY! However, that is one way to cheapen the car for sure! C'mon, guys, grow the f--% up already!
My suggestion: Nassau Blue! AND WHILE WE'RE AT THIS, HOW ABOUT BRINGING BACK WHITE INTERIOR AS AN OPTION?!!

MY .02 cents too!
