Default Orange C8

Went to see another C8 this one was orange very cool color. The guys at Les Stanford put on a real nice setup. We got to get all over it unlike some of the other displays. Got some food a couple of shirts and a couple of nice posters.
Very first class. Still getting YELLOW

Im going to have to disagree. This is my list of best oranges to grace the plastic and occasionally carbon fiber panels of the Corvette since 2005:
1. Inferno
2. Sebring
3. The Daytonas (sunset and sunrise)
4. Atomic

I like the bright oranges.

I like sebring orange quite a bit. I think it looks great on the C8.

I was never a fan of the darker orange colors like daytona sunset, atomic, or ontario orange.

Had a ‘71 coupe in Ontario Orange. Really beautiful color. My favorite though was the Hugger Orange color on ‘69 Vettes. Can’t remember what it was called ... Monaco Orange?

Never considered owning a McLaren - not that I would refuse one if someone was giving one to me! I like your MY Z', I have an '03 Z, EB. I always liked the orange that was on the old '74 99 Saabs. IIRC, it was close to the Sebring, but not metallic....ahhh, here it is, Sunset Orange...

Here is my Orange build so far at $92K with tax. After reading some post and getting good feedback from the team on this site, I will add the below:
SPY (black lug nuts)
ZYC (carbon flash for mirrors and spoiler)

Colors:
I started with red than touch a little on the rapid blue and fell in love with the orange. Went to the dealer looking at their invortory of C7 and fell in love with the orange but to each their own. Good Luck..
