Thanks to all for the responses, I am in love with this color. In the sun the metallic orange seems to color change into shades of deeper orange and golds, looks similar to a color shift paint.
Lookin good/

Great looking car. I tell people all the time that the minute I step into my 2012 coupe I feel 10 years younger.

Great photo, very attractive, and the car is nice too.

Good pick and nice color. I saw a yellow LT1 C6 once when I was out looking for one back in February but I really wanted a LT2 loaded out since I like the HUD and other options. Always wanted a corvette, had the chance to buy one in 09 but didn't due to a bad experience and got a Challenger SRT8 instead. Glad I made the right choice earlier this year and got mine before the brand new C6s were gone and ditched the Challenger.
