At the risk of sounding like a complete bonehead, what does DSOM mean?

Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic, one of the exterior colors you can order for a C6.

Here is your unofficial guide to color abbreviations on the C6:

(Listed in order of authors preference, btw)

DSOM = Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic

LMB = LeMans Blue

MR = Magnetic Red

BLK = Black

MS = Machine Silver

PR = Precision Red

VR = Victory Red

MY = Milennium Yellow

AW = Artic White

I love the C6 in any of the above colors, there isnt a bad color on this car

I keep thinking of DMSO, that garlic smelling solvent, that people used to rub into their joints for arthritis problems.

I think Pumpkin Metallic is a simpler, and clearer name for the color. Especially during this season.

No way! We waited till he got an answer then we hijacked his thread and put our own obtuse spin on it.

In that case, here's another term you should try to get a handle on - speed limit.

The orange vettes are made for Fall season especially in the areas where the leaves change colors. The orange leaves and the orange vettes go hand in hand.
