Default Saw Atomic Orange Coupe today...

I saw an Atomic Orange Coupe today, finally, at a local dealer and I must admit it looks SO MUCH BETTER in person. It is actually a very stylish looking color given the different shades exhibited during direct sunlight or complete shade and in between. It definately doesn't photograph well...

I am a believer now...:

Default hate it

saw one too, compared to DSOM looks washed out and faded especially to call it "atomic orange", that name should be crazy orange and in your face not faded, IMHO

I just saw one in person at a Dealership, It's nice but doesn't blow me away, Atomic should be to ORANGE like Millenium OR Velocity was to Yellow, I would only order that color in Z06 form

Went to dealership last Saturday. An AO was on the showroom floor. Color looked good. I asked salesmen to pull it out into the sunshine, which he was kind enough to do. In the sun, the color blew me away. The metallic adds a lot. The color is outstanding. Pictures do not do the color justice.

Who needs Orange. I like the AO as it looks more bronze/gold/copperish. Very racy.

They have an Atomic Orange Z06 on display at the auto show at the State Fair of Texas. It looks good.
