This should be posted in General, as I see nothing related to Tech/Performance.

Torch Red came back to replace Victory Red starting with MY2010 if memory serves me.

A color code seems teck (sic) to you? Maybe in your neck of the woods. I agree thety (sic) don't know the answer. Does your ISP charge more for capital letters?

What I remember was due to a life long friend of mine that loves red sport cars. Came over to the corvette world 11 years ago with a 01Z in Torch. He upgraded in 2008 with an 08Z but was disappointed in having to settle for Victory as he really loves the orange tint Torch Red. A year or more later I saw that Torch was coming back and thinking at the time if only Steve had waited a little longer before upgrading to a C6Z to get it in Torch.

Funny how the world works. I never cared for the orange tint of Torch and was happy to see Victory come about. I even picked it to replace the Torch color on my older Vette.

I had a Torch Red 99 hardtop. I just got a 2013 Torch Red Grand Sport. The new Torch Red doesn't seem as orangy to me.
