Ken, is it confirmed that the Atomic Orange has become once again a Tincoat color, as it was in 07? As some may not know, they removed the tintocoat process for 08. Are there any color chips for the two new colors? I wonder how Blade Silver will differ from Machine Silver.

Cool...Finally a color to look forward to when it's time to upgrade my 06 DSOM. I just hope Cyber Grey gets longer than a 2-year run!

That cyber gray is a great color. I might have to trade-up if they ever added British Racing Green to the Corvette line.

Machine silver was dropped but they added blade silver. There was a rumor floating around that Velocity Yellow was going to get dropped but that obviously didn't happen.

I have a feeling that the 09 will have direct injection, since GM is incorporating this in several vehicles. We will see. If this is the case, power should improve and so will gas mileage. It would be nice to have a 450 HP base LS3 that achieves nearly 30 MPG on the highway.
