The Competitors

I was driving in front of my school (University of Miami) a little while ago and I stopped at the light. On the left of me what appears to be a camaro at first glance is a srt-8 challenger and on the right of me is a bumblebee yellow mustang. I'm sitting there in the middle with my 03 lancer thinking if only i had a camaro i could blow these two old guys out of the water.
*I took the pics with my iphone so sorry for the quality

I saw a challenger at the local bank, parked next to a 7 series and a Merc, but you see Mustangs so often, it's annoying.

Dude, if you go to UM then rest-assured, you will be getting your Camaro very soon. (Lol.)

And yeah, that's Grabber Orange on the Mustang.

Grabber Orange is actually yellow-orange. In fact, Ford called that exact same color Valencia Yellow previously but renamed it Grabber Orange for the Mustang. And Valencia is a variety of orange (the fruit). For an orange color it is nowhere near as cool as Hugger Orange. But I think it looks as good as any true yellow out there.

Pretty much, y0. In fact, you metallicize it and there you have Bumblebee. Why's it so hard for GM to do that?
