Gotta say - I dont care for either new color but thats just me. I was going to order the old orange but went with red(black stripes) due to them getting rid of what I call classic orange for this metallic orange. Not for me. And the blue as someone else said is too "lambo-ish" for my liking. Hey - to each their own. Ill stick with my classic sports car red.

I really wanted RB, thats what I'm getting but there's been a little hesitation or calling it baby blue from people...I think it'll be singularly unique on the streets in my AO which was a factor in my choice. Never before had anything blue in my car lineage.

The configurator really makes Vivid Orange look like copper or Dodge's Sinamon Stick. Maybe it'll look different in person in sunlight.

I call it Gender Reveal Blue

We're on very similar paths to new Camaros, except that when the canceled Crush I went white instead of red - and you "settled" for the V6

Honestly, I’m fine with the V6.

. Most of it was budgetary reasons. Just wanted to keep the car at or under $30K and I did that. Don’t get me wrong, I fully appreciate the bigger lump and if I could have swung it I may very well have. But, such is life. It’ll work out great and I intend to have a blast with it!

White looks good on these cars so that was a solid choice.

No V6 hate here, we all have different wants/needs/etc - was kidding with the settling comment. Buying a Mustang or Challenger instead would ACTUALLY be settling and not at all funny...

It looks like the ZL1-sized, copper-free brake system, when applied to an SS has silver calipers, like the standard ZL1, but with "CAMARO" on it:

I think they both look nice,want to see them in-person.

The "Vivid" Orange seems a bit too conservative. Oh well, my Gen5 is Summit White and if the pandemic ever clears my Gen6 will probably be white as well. Since the "interesting" colors are a bust, nothing shows off the car's shape better than white.

It's a generational thing. Young folks love the skittles colored cars.

Very likely. I doubt they will have one specifically for 1LE and another for the rest of the SS cars.
