Please help me decide.
I have a Vivid Orange ZL1 already built but waiting transport.
There is a Red Tintcoat Met. on a dealer lot for 5k over MSRP. My Car will be MSRP. I was kinda having regrets on the Orange car. But I love the Red color. I have not seen in person a Orange Metalic. They are both the same MSRP. same options. Is Orange worth waiting for? Or is Red Tintcoat so much better its worth 5k?

For me the bright color would get old very fast and the red tintcoat looks amazing in person. Guy down the street has the red tintcoat and it is pretty nice.

I'm very interested in a Red Tintcoat car myself, excited to see Radiant Red as I think it will be an even better color than Wild Cherry.
That said, I find myself constantly looking at the Vivid Orange picture thread because I just can't get enough of that color. GearHeadSS posted some great pictures in the sun, middle of page 9 below: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showt...=595206&page=9 If it was me, I would order another car @ MSRP in Radiant Red before I paid $5K for a Wild Cherry ZL1. That or I would buy the VO @ MSRP because thats a great color. Both those choices sound better than paying $5k over.

I have seen the Vivid Orange and it very striking in the sun light. Both the Wild Cherry and Vivid Orange lose a lot when its cloudy or in the evening but most cars do. I would buy the Vivid Orange.

I can't imagine taking red over Vivid Orange. Especially at a 5K premium. Hell to the No.

Pretty simple to answer. If you're already having regrets buy the one you want.

We settled for the Red tintcoat, they negotiated down in price by 50%, So 72k for a fairly loaded out car.

50%? So they were asking 144K?
