Default Facebook Fridays: Orange C7 Shot Leaves Us Breathless



We stumbled on this week's Facebook Fridays photo at High Tech Corvette, and it sure is one hot looking shot of the C7.

I have a SO and love it. Changes so much with the light. I also have the visible CF roof with painted rails and think it looks great.

I've always loved to Atomic Orange Vettes. They are hard to come by.

No way in hell that's an undoctored, non-filtered photo. If we had oranges like the lambo or viper, I'd be jumping all over that:

Agreed. Ford nor chevy can figure out how to do orange. This isn't rocket science guys.

I wish Ford had still offered Grabber Blue when I got my 2014. I loved that color, they only offered it on the first half of the model year. sigh.

And I like that orange. Sort of a burnt metallic orange. looks good.

DSOM is plenty orange, in sunlight. And far more subtle than that ugly viper and clown-like Lambo orange.

The picture isn't altered in any way. The orange is a custom plasti dip color. I follow the owner on Instagram (@tech396) and he has an even brighter orange now and it looks sick.

I loved grabber orange! But it barely made it a year and coral orange from the old mustangs was good too.

I still get a tingle every time I see a DSOM Stingray.

Default AO? or DSOM?

It looks AO to me.
Had two yellow Z06's and my C6 was AO and loved that color and wanted that for my C7 ('14) but not available. Saw a photo shopped C7 in AO on this forum and would have ordered that in a nano second if it were available in '14.
Never fear as I settled for an AW for my C7 and am happy with my choice but would have opted for the AO at the time if it had been available.
Who cares, it is one helluva sled irrespective of color.

Don't usually like Orange but it works really well in this color on this car. Almost a bronze orange....it pops and looks very exotic.
