Picked up my Amplify Orange Vette Wednesday, I was hesitant about ordering this color, but after seeing my car in the show room it blew me away! I love it. First off, the color does not wash out or look faded in the sunlight. It looks brilliant in sun, shade or lighted areas. Car was flawless on delivery, could not see any orange peel. It is a true orange with no red in it, looks very exotic and fits the car perfectly.

Sebring Orange isn't orange orange, it's red orange.

You'll love Amplify, looks like an exotic. There is a Z06 poll for color choice, and AO was tied with red...that should tell you something. AO with black interior is simply a killer combo.

@RobsVette04 Love your Amplify Orange! That's exactly what I got, AO with black LT3 interior. The only difference from yours is mine has a dual black racing stripe from nose to tail. Great choice in my opinion...next to black (which is a NIGHTMARE to keep clean here in the desert southwest) orange is my favorite color.

For those with AO, who dyed their stitching, what is the closest color match for AO?

Thank you

Hey All,
Here are some snapshots taken by the dealer of my 2022 Amplify Orange LT3 Convertible, which should be in my hands in a few days!

That's beautiful!!! Congrats on a great looking ride. Any more side pics of your AO coupe? That's one of the colors I'm thinking about for my build. Did you go with a 2LT or 3LT trim?

I went with the 2LT, the pictures don’t really do justice to AO, the real beauty has to be seen with the naked eye.

I agree that pictures really don't do either the color, or the car, generally, appropriate justice! I got to lay my eyes on my car much sooner than I had expected to...the transport company picked up my car in Salt Lake City this morning, and my car was here in Las Vegas about 5pm this afternoon! Woohoo!!!! I didn't get a chance to take many pictures or post them today, but I certainly will tomorrow. I'm so excited, I can't believe it!!!

RobsVette04: I was just going back over this thread, and I noticed for the first time, what you had written about AO and Red, with respect to the Z06. While I think it''s great that 'our' color is supposedly popular with the Z06 crowd, I hope I don't see 'my car' on the road! I have been keeping track of the number of C8s that I've seen out in the real world, and I have seen exactly 5, since the C8 first came out. And that is here in Las Vegas. I guess that makes the new Corvette pretty rare. And I've not seen a single AO car on the street.

Well, there will be one more when I get my car. The ground effects package has been waiting patiently at my dealer for several months.

I haven't seen another one either, despite seeing almost every other color in the rainbow. Even saw a Caffeine drive by last night. The closest I've come is going to dinner with friends and then telling me that they thought they parked next to me, but they were in a completely different garage. So there was definitely another one close by, just not quite there.

I've seen probably 10 C8's on the road since I have had mine (February), and have only seen Sebring Orange...no AO aside mine.

I do like the uniqueness...
