That's pretty amazing - I'm really suprised that the DSOM looks that reddish. However, I've had people tell me that they really like my red vette - so it's all good! What would be interesting is to see Victory, Precision, Magnetic, Monterey red's next to DSOM and AO

Atomic Orange looks great on the car - however, I saw it with the cashmere top and I'm not a big fan!

Given it's always sunny in texas; I'm sticking with DSOM...

Cheers

Yeah, I am biased, but keep in mind that 3 of the 4 picutres were taken in shade. One of the best points about DSOM is that depending on lighting, it takens on a variety of colors and hues. We had a good discussion of that last night at the Corvette Show in Pottsboro, TX (Almost 100 Corvettes -- C-1 thru C6 -- were on hand, but only three DSOM cars)

I still like DSOM the best. The AO is way toooooo orange!!

I would still choose DSOM over AO. In bright overhead sunlight, or at a reddish sunset, it's awesome. But I -do- like those new seats!

Actuall, there was one C-6 with a Z-51 emblem on it at the Corvette Show I mentioned. Really did not look bad at all.

I'm starting to not like the atomic more and more. It looks great in direct sunlight (no wonder every GM pic shows it like this) but looks too dark and burnt in the shade. Trt doing a comparo with the Atomic in this pic with your pic.

Yep, you'll need badge to tell from outside the car

I think this pic shows the two colors very well.
