Post #49 looks pretty on point to SO in person.
***Images may vary depending on your monitor. Amazing how many of these posts are talking about everything BUT the color. I think most of us are beyond the Wing debate

None of the previous oranges did nearly this well, and this is the first "true orange" in a long time.

The OP pictures aren't even close to the actual color. Neither are most of the press photos I've seen, especially the one that appears in this thread.
I agree. I would not buy any of the previous Orange colors but I love this Orange. To me this is a true Orange. I saw this Orange in person and really liked it except that it had the Kalahari interior which was not a good combo.

I am not a fan of the ZR1 but respect it as a track car. If we are talking about colors however then their is only one right choice! TORCH RED







More my taste.......

I agree. SO could and most likely would wear old on me, where AW would never grow old. Awesome looking car!

I love the color. And again, the jealousy on this forum is laughable. The ZR1 is a beast on track, or on the street!

Looked good in person today although not preferring the huge wing isn't jealousy..it's personal preference.

Just a little over the top for some...especially in a convertible like was on display at the NY autoshow today.

Not an insult..

This is the best orange since atomic. I love it and if I got one it would be Sebring.

Hey Foosh, from the get go I liked what I saw regarding the new orange but have yet to see the color in person out doors. I truly believe I will like it a lot and this is a metallic color not a solid color correct??

i am going to buy a big pumpkin next Halloween and will try to carve a zr1 front face on it
