Can't pick - rather a HOSS 6 speed, or a SOM Formula Firehawk 6 speed.

Hugger Orange for sure. Not that there is anything wrong with SOM, its a great color, but like someone said you can find it on a ton of vehicals these days. Hell, my wifes Caliber is just a shade off of SOM, Dodges version of the color. But they are both in my top two for f-body colors.

Agreed with the statement that Hugger Orange is an iconic color for the Camaro. Also have to agree that it is the better looking of the two.

Tough choice... but I've always liked metallic paints better.
Plus, I think the '99 HO should be a shade lighter/brighter to be a closer match to the '69 HO.

Hugger Orange honors the 69 Camaro.

Hugger Orange, only because it looks really good with black wheels, SOM is a great color as well, but not as unique.
