I don't watch football let alone college football. That color would make everyone who saw you in the car think you where a UT football nerd in an expensive car.

I mean that's the first thing I thought when I pictured myself in the car.

Hell if you drive it in Oklahoma your car would get egged everytime they played.

DSOM was more of the UT color. This one is more like the Tennessee color. I like it, looks nice in person.

They need to put in a metallic black and bring back pewter with an extra layer of clear coat. I don't care if it is a thousand dollar option I want to be more comfortable buffing and I want it SHINY!!!!!!!!!

My freakin' Scion Toaster (XB) has a gorgeous black color compared to GM. They even have two shades of black. They just need a WIDE selection of colors so that the Corvettes look more unique from each other. There are a million red and white ones on base out here.

I agree, you really need to see Atomic Orange in person to truly see how cool it looks. I drove out today to a Chevy dealer which has the only Atomic Orange C6 in Ontario right now. I want this color so bad! Here are some pics I took:

They should call the new color "Dukes of Hazzard Orange".

I like it... but that's what it reminds me of.

Oh, and the atomic orange is sweet in person. Those pix of the convertable above make it look brown... it's not brown at all.

Hell if you drive it in Oklahoma your car would get egged everytime they played.

I was thinking the same thing...except it probably wouldn't matter if they were playing or not...

That color is sweet. Past few years seems GM is getting daring with different colors. Now all they need to do is allow you to build the exact car you want option for option like in the 60's.

Now you're talking! I would love it if they would also offer a stripped down Vette without all the added stuff to shave off more weight. Get rid of the power leather seats for lightweight cloth non power ones for example.

At least you guys in the US can get a little bit more of a stripped down Vette than we can up here. Up here our base model includes all the stuff in the 3LT package, so we can't even get a 1LT car like you guys can. So our base model is 64 lbs heavier as a result.
