DSOM almost looks red in comparison - one of the things that I like about it. Thanks

Gotta love the atomic orange. It's still more of a rust looking color but so much more vibrant then the DSOM!!

Default Yeah, . . . Yeah, . . .

Yeah, . . now we're talking.

That is one beautiful Corvette.

WOW

I love the comparison.

Thanks for the pictures . . .

Looking Forward to Frank posting pictures . . . .

Maybe TRAYC6 will ask Frank to post pictures,
Frank always does what TRAYC6 tells him to do.

I think atomic orange looks washed out and too yellow. DSOM is a reddish orange and looks deeper and richer.

In these photos my eye is drawn to the AO. Like others, I didn't realize there is so much of a contrast. Thanks for the post.

Great pictures ! it's nice to finally see them side by side.
hmm - we need a poll on this.
my vote : I like the DSOM better, but they're both

The drilled rotors are included with the F55 suspensionas well as the Z51 package for the '07s. Can't tell for sure anymore by just looking at the rotors.

Is Atomic Orange a metallic or non-metallic?
