What color would you most like to see on the 5th gen???
Grabber Orange is the exact color, I dont think it looks good on many cars but these 2 pull it off. Its like a yellow car, a vette looks good but personally not a lot of others do.

Although my preference is white, the red looks pretty good on the Camaro. I saw the red concept in person and it looked hot in that darker shade of red.

initially I was thinking the same thing.... However, I will have to see a black version first because I am not so sure it will look as good in black as it does in a more vibrant color.

Well true but that was just what i like for now, I mean hell I might get to the dealership and they have another awsome color there and it catches my eye I would go with that. If it had the right stuff under the hood.

I like the Atomic Orange Metallic Tintcoat and the Velicity Yellow Tintcoat available on the Corvette. However Im gonna get a black one so it doesnt stick out to the cops because im guessin its gonna be hard to keep it under the speed limit.

I would like to see a true "Hugger Orange", like that of a '69 Camaro. I currently have a '96 Mustang in a factory Bright Tangerine, and it's amazing how much attention the car gets just because of the color alone.

Thats one of the reasons i didnt get on my car, I like the coupe with the stripes and all but that "arrest me red" is a little to much.

I really like the Hugger Orange with the gunmetal stripes on the Vert, but i would have to wait and see how that would look on the coupe before making a decision. I am pretty sold on Black though as I have always wanted a black Camaro.... Black with white interior like the vert has....

Yeah, Casull. I initially wanted a black camaro...but I don't know if this car will look so hot in black. I'm now thinking more like an Imperial Blue Metallic, or Silver if they don't have a blue I like.


I've been photoshopping a bit to get an idea on different colors, so thats where I'm at.

I initially thought the same thing until I saw some of the photoshops of the vert in black, especially the one with gunmetal stripes, and I was sold. Of course everything looks different in person, so I will definitely hold off on making a final decision on color until I actually see the various options in person.
