Congrats! You'll love the NCM Delivery. Let us know your delivery date and we'll watch.

What part of ATL - I'm in Buford. Would love to see it when you get home with it. I had a 2008 Ignition Orange Metallic G8 GT and loved that color. Thinking my next C7 should be Sebring Orange.

I know orange isn't for everyone, but when Team Corvette gets a color right, they really get it right!

This color is awesome!

We ordered a 2019 with Kalahari interior and chrome wheels. We'll probably see it in March.

I'm sure it looks great in person but pictures make it look like torch red in poor lighting.

Looks pretty dang nice. When you get a chance, could you post some close ups that show reflections? It would be nice to see how much better the new paint shop is when it comes to managing orange peel.

The sun came out for about 5 minutes and I got a few outside!

Outstanding and even better in the sun! Those shots have alleviated all my remaining doubts about ordering this color.

Good to see that these vehicles are slowly but surely taking the field.

Thanks for posting Dave. Two questions, in your opinion did your camera get the right tone and if not would you say its actually lighter or darker? Second question has GM shipped paint samples yet? Greatly appreciate your response.

Having ordered one, having looked at all the pictures ever published of the color, and given that's it's a metallic color, it appears lighter or darker (reddish to yellowish) depending upon the lighting conditions.

I want one in a grand sport convertible 2lt auto....chrome or black rims...probably chrome because I don’t want it to look pumpkin-Halloween like all year! Just need one for a steal of a deal like the $17k off dealers were doing on 2017’s

So any dealers that want to touch that 12% off plus rebates and flex cash. Let me know

Thanks for posting these Dave....now I feel like I'm "stuck" with my '18 WGG w/Kalahari that I got from you in October. I guess it's not a bad way to get "stuck!"

Subscribed... love this color. Can't wait to see it with non-black wheels.

Paint all the stuff all over the car orange instead of leaving it black and it might be okay.

^I disagree. More black would be better. Stinger and roof.
