Talking SOM = Amen !!

But, I don't have one ...

I test drove one - does that count ??


There is just something about that color on a SS that is wicked !!


Second would be Pewter - which mine happens to be ...

Third is Artic White

Fourth is Red

I'm not terribly keen on Silver, and while NBM & Onyx Black lok great when clean, they are a biatch to keep clean.

Pewter, White, and Silver do really well @ looking clean while not being that way !!


Later !!

Black of course!
Seriously, almost all colors. Even saw a car done by a local body shop, several tastefully, gaudy colors. My son (18) liked it.

I love my Hugger Orange SS Best color by far. SSOM is a distant second, followed by NBM, Silver, then Black, then Red, then that crappy Maroon color...

Actually that new electron blue or whatever is on the Vettes would be nice too...

Question

Does somebody have a picture of a new (4th gen) car with Hugger Orange?? I know what the color looks like (it's going on my dad's '73) but I've never seen it on a 4th gen...........only Sunset Metallic Orange, which is definitely not Hugger Orange.

Navy blue for the SS's and black for the Z28s. Either color for a 'Bird.

I like the mystic teal on my 99z, i think it looks really nice with the black roof. And since you don't see that color as much as say, black or red. Navy blue is second.

My second choice would probably be Hugger Orange, too bad they only offered it in '99 or I definitely would've considered it for my '02.
I agree on the silver/ with the black roof!

These are the best pics I could find, most looked more red than HO but you can definitely tell this guy's SS is not red:

Awesome color, IMO.

I would have to say that I love the way the SOM looks. Black is a close second, in my mind, followed by NBM. I don't know how hard SOM and NBM are to keep clean, but I know that black is a PITA. I love the way my car looks when clean, but no matter how often I clean it, it is dirty again in no time.

I would vote Navy Blue Metallic.

But I might be biased

I think the Camaro looks best in Black, but I have owned a Black f-body and it was hell to keep clean! I like NBM but I don't think it is not a "sports car color". Red looks good but is VERY flashy, I'll never own a red car. Which brings me to my personal favorite Silver!

Thank God they brought back Sebring Silver for the last year! One thing that GM did right.....
