RJT ALL THE WAY

IMO.. Red is the way to go. I was originally going to get blue but I thought in person it was too girly for me. I love the pictures of blue though they are BA.

I would take that lip stick red for sure. Its just your preference. Your the one buying the car so your the one that has to decide.

Not one person has told me they didn't like my ABM. Everyone has told me they like the blue, and I've had people tell me the color is just amazing and unlike any other color they've ever seen. It's a different kind of blue, you need to see it in person before you form your opinion on it. And I recommend seeing it on the Camaro, because when I saw it on the HHR, I was like "meh". But on the Camaro, it is awesome. It changes in different shades of light, and is just phenomenal. Even when I first saw the graphic renderings of all the colors on the brochure thing back in December, ABM was my last pick. But it's totally different in person, although I can see how they came up with that color on the website because it is somewhat accurate...but you STILL need to see it in person.

My Mom and Aunt didn't really like the ABM on the color chips, but when she saw my car she said she likes the color a lot better in person. ABM is different enough to stand out, but it's not as "loud" and "in your face" as Rally Yellow or Victory Red, and even IOM.

My friend has a red 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe and it's very very similar to Victory Red. Even he said he likes my ABM and asked what made me decide to get the blue.

I was also considering Victory Red, but after seeing it up close and in person on the Camaro, I was a little disappointed. It's kind of flat and dull, because it's not metallic. But it's your decision.

Red is such a classic, iconic color for a sports car. For me that's actually a minus. It means the blue is that much more distinct.

I have never seen an AB so can't comment but the red is nice as well. IMO.......GL with your selection

the first transformers movie was about some stupid kid helping robots find a pair of glasses and the second one was 2 and a half hours of sheer stupidity. i dont see how anyone could like them for any other reason than to get to see the nice camaro. by the way, what does imo stand for. sorry.

red.... not that blue

WadeWilson · 08-20-2009, 01:34 PM

Call me biased but RJT is the way to go. Actually the Camaro looks good regardless of the color. My top 3 color choices were RJT, ABM & IBM. When I saw the RJT in person it floored me and I made my mind up right then.

RJT was my second choice. I'd love to see it again, since I've only seen it once, but I'm definitely more than satisfied with my Aqua Blue.

I feel ya. When I bought mine I was planning on test driving both colors but the ABM had been sold the previous day so I drove to Sac and saw my RJT and knew it was the one for me. The ABM is a beauty though.

White is fastest!

Cessna510 · 08-20-2009, 02:29 PM

There are only a handful of pictures on the net that do the camaro any justice. I thought the idea of aqua blue was disgusting...until i saw one in person. I though IOM looked like a nasty red...until i saw it in person...There are not any bad colors on this car.I'm leaning towards Summit white and I haven't seen it in person yet.
