Thanks Dave . . . that's exactly the shade I was hoping to see, and had only seen it previously on an entire car under the "Broadway show lights" at various reveals.
Mine gets built next week exactly as pictured above, except it's a convertible. It appears to be exactly the orange shade I've been waiting for.
Not necessary. That car is an anomaly. Even the vast majority of 2014s didn't have issues like this. It's just a bad one that slipped by QC at BG and easily fixable with a nose adjustment.

I am, built exactly with the same color packages, including black wheels and the Carbon Flash pkg. I was happy to see real world pictures of my color choices, and narrow- vs. wide-body was irrelevant.

Good, because it will look bettwe on the narrow body...
Wonder how long the black wheel fad is going to last?
Painted silver or gray still shows the wheels off better.
It's not about showing the wheel better. It's an overall effect on the look of the car that is...awesome. My wife drives a jeep grand cherokee with black wheels. Makes it look much better. Not sure I've seen a car that didn't look good with black wheels.
I know orange isn't for everyone, but when Team Corvette gets a color right, they really get it right!
This color is awesome!

This is what gym needs to do!! They should put the Camaro lime green on the verge too. Long Beach red, shark gray, and the gay purple needs to stay on caddy period!! I understand they need the safe colors like red, black and white but Christ if you want the younger people to even look at a vette you need the colors to draw them!!
LOL . . . I suspect that's because they were only available for order for the last couple of months, and they only started painting that color about a month ago. No one had actually seen one until recently. In a full-year of production, I'd predict at least 10X that number. The first "real" one just arrived at a big forum dealer, and the pictures just showed up yesterday.
Once the real world sightings begin, it wouldn't surprise me to see it rise to at least a top- 5 color because it appears to closely match the wildly popular and iconic "Hugger Orange" in shade. Orange is currently making a big comeback on many manufacturer vehicles.
But, as far as I'm concerned, the rarer the better.
I also think that the more people see this color in person the more that they are going to want to order it so it will prove itself to be a very popular color. I think it will be more popular than any of the other oranges that have been offered on the C7 so far.
If I were ordering my car all over again, it would be a tough decision for me as to whether to go with Sebring Orange or Torch Red. I like this orange a lot!
I’m so glad you got outdoor pics of the color. The indoor pics made the color seem muted to me. I was thinking it was ok but the outdoor pics made me go Wow!
