Look into our eyes and obey!

This is very true, IMO. When I saw the VR in person, it just looked very "flat" I guess. Same with the yellow. Maybe I'm just a fan of the metallic paint colors, but these 2 just did absolutely nothing for me up close. From afar, they look nice, but up close they just look kind of cheap. Almost like a plastic toy or something. Metallic is the way to go!

Great youtube video, Walt! I hear you. ABM definitely brings out the best in the new Camaro, no doubt. It would be kind of coming "full circle" too like the old Camaro, for sure! Well, chances are I'll become a ABM Man after all (but maybe add a mohawk just for kicks....lol)

I've really thought alot about the best colors, and overall ABM is the clear winner...but I do like how vibrant the VR is too-It screams "I'm Alive" like an animal or something...... But I hear what you're saying. ABM brings out the best in car, and its nice to have that contrast with tail-lights too.

Kent, If the VR was metallic in any way, I'd seriously consider it. Maybe that's why my original choice was IOM. But when I saw the ABM in person on a Camaro at the Philly show,that was it for me. I even told Scott that the color was amazing on this car and he just smiled. There was a VR RS and the LS7 SEMA show car there too, so I had something to compare too side by side, even a VR (?) Pontiac Firehawk. To me there was no comparison.
