Default HOSS vs SOM SS
Just curious on what everyone thinks looks better. Is it Hugger Orange SS or a Sunset Orange Metallic SS?

Hugger because after sunset came out other non f-body cars got it too. It became dumbed down and played out real quick. Hugger is iconic to the camaro and gets more style points for me.

Hugger is so rare, only see 2 or 3 in person ever. I like SOM also, just a lot more cars this color. I would give about anything to have a low mileage HOSS 6 speed with white leather.

That is exactly like me. Was in the looks for a HOSS with low miles about a year ago but it seemed almost impossible to find a nice one for sale with less that 50k miles. SOM is a great looking color, but it is still hard to beat the amazing looking Hugger Orange SS.

I almost bought a HOSS for my wife in September, but she chose to have a Firehawk that was in the same price range. Probably good for her as I would have been extremely **** about a HOSS and would be driving it more than her .
