Default Sunset Orange is not quite what I expected

The color is kind of dull in my opinion, needs a bit more life. Saw one parked at Abbotsford Nissan (Canada). The interior seats are sweet though.... (burnt orange leather)

Sunset looks fantastic at sunset, just as I think that Brickyard looks VERY good at dusk. My personal fav is Daytona blue and I'm not really a blue car guy. Still haven't seen CS or SS.

I saw one on the freeway yesterday it was a pre-production model. The color is nice, but it's not all that vibrant like the pictures, but then again maybe it was the cloudy day. Overall, it looked good though, it was a track model with the infamous "562" plate.

Saw it today in person at the docks of Port Newark. It's MIGHTY sweet IMHO. Daytona Blue and Brickyard were noticeably absent from the sea of cars we saw today. (Don't know what to attribute that to, though).

Silverstone is super-sweet. Redline is bad-*** (especially with the track package). Black is outstanding. White is so-so (personal preference). Chrome silver (my choice) is a little on the light side when compared side-by-side with silverstone, but when viewed by itself, it looks BAD ***!!!

GIMME MY KEYS ALREADY!!!!

I know of 3 Brickyards delivered to the Bay area already. I don't think any of them went to people on this site which means there will be an additional 6 more when we get ours. I thought the Brickyard was going to be rare. BTW it is REALLY a gorgeous color on the Z
