Hi rad my most recent post was directed to the person
who asked me what the other cars that were being
produced besides the camaro at the plant. Since this
was discussed some months ago he may not have seen it

Was bored the other day and was looking at used Challengers on ebay... I'm not a mopar guy, but dodge definitely has GM beat on color choices.... In addition to modern colors, they offer virtually EVERY retro 70s color as well. Colors like Panther Pink, Plum Crazy Purple, B5 blue, etc... in addition to a plethora of throwback stripe packages in various colors.

It would be neat if Chevy offered classic shades like Hugger Orange, Daytona Yellow, Fathom Green, Olympic Gold, Frost Green, etc.

I was hoping for at least one really BOLD color to replace the synergy green.

...or some freakin' DUSK BLUE METALLIC !!!

Everybody seemed to want that color in the poll. I bet it would have sold at least 20% of the total.

57% said they would buy it in the poll.

BTW, if anyone that currently KNOWS the '13 lineup colors and this is on it, PLEEASE send me a PM.

That's the only thing I can think of that would make me wait until the new model year... and I would promise on my life that I wouldn't tell ANYONE.

I love this color.

A lot.

They offer the same old colors everyone else does.... They don't have those "special" colors listed on their site anymore.

I would have to agree that dodge has some cool colors my 64 chevelle was competition green a 1969 super bee color I thought it was pretty cool and so did the guy that bought it, would not look good on a zl1. I am still looking at silver or blue any shade

Well, the poll is about even between fine & not so great, with very few excellent - that direction would be my guess.

I think the color problem for ZL1 is that it's not just any car, it's THE car we have always wanted. We Camaro lovers have a fantasy car built up in our minds, and a significant part of the fantasy is the way it looks- including the color.

For example, I don't care that there's already an IBM, I really want Dusk Blue.

Hey, you could get it way back when Camaro was born.

There's your heritage color.

So, only those that are getting exactly the color they want are going to say "excellent."

Also, the lack of super bold colors leaves the selections lacking a bit I think. The new red is awesome, but ZL1 needs one or two more "in your face" metallics like that. Changing the flat yellow to "Bumblebee Sunrise Gold" or something very similar would have taken care of most of that angst.

BTW, Inferno Orange is also "in your face" but it's still in the red family. Red has three versions and is very well represented.

Do the same for blue & change the yellow and almost everybody is happy.

No extra charge for my two cents.
