I need to see it in person. I have not come across any in western PA (lots of C8's, no AO). All the dozens of photos I've seen all look different, from rich and warm to a pastel creamsicle color. I would hope it looks like the phot above. That is really beautiful.

Nothing but compliments on the C8 and Color.
CSL and Exo V5 and dirt doesn't stand a chance.

I came within a few thousand dollars of pulling the trigger on a low mileage 2023 Amplify HTC 3LT Z51 with black seats - I really liked that color - but the dealer wanted over MSRP and wouldn’t budge on his BS fees so I ended up with a new white one. I kind of wish I had held out for an orange one cuz I went to my first Cars & Coffee and there were 2 other Arctic C8s (including a ZO6) and no oranges - Sebring or Amplify. Oh well, at least I still have my Punk’n Orange Jeep, LOL

Agreed. My ‘23 coupe is AO. My eRay will be AY. Also had a ‘67 Corvette pro street roadster in bright yellow and a ‘14 vert. in velocity yellow. Plus ‘71 Mustang and ‘71 Challenger both in yellow and a ‘72 ‘Cuda in Vitamin C orange. For me yellow #1 and orange #2. Forget the rest.

AO is the best color! AY was my second choice. My car will be here in 2 weeks!

I get a ton of compliments on my AO. Many of the compliments go something like "Damn, I didn't think an orange car could look so good"

Looks cool! Did you paint the stripes on the wheel yourself, or was it a professional job?
When I get my allocation, If the D9Is are still on constraint and If I decide to go orange, I was going to get this wheel and apply rim tapes... This looks clean...

I was afraid AO would washout in bright sunlight, but it looks great in both sun and shade. When I picked it up, there was a red mist in showroom along with mine, dealer said everyone gravitated to mine.
