Default Atomic Orange best orange?
Anybody else like their AO color so much, it is one of the factors to hold onto a c6 and not move to a c7?

Maybe I just love orange? Instead of all these red-orange colors

The C6 Corvette is a great looking car no matter what color it is. I do however love the Atomic Orange, especially since it has that really striking pearlescent "tint coat" effect.

I love the Atomic Orange. It gets compliments every time I take it out.

I owned on 05 DSOM coupe with Cashmere interior and loved that color...more copper and not as flashy as AO IMO (was that enough letters to qualify me for a can of alphabet soup?)

I'm a bit biased, but in no way would the color keep me out of a C7 Z

Both DSOMs are better, IMO. I like a more subdued, less bright orange, though; a metallic burnt orange, if you will.

If you don't want a black, red, or yellow...in that order....then go with the AO.
