Well, yes, actually there is. There's orange, yellow, green, blue, purple... and lets not forget the shades like black, white and grey, but those are not really colors if you want to be technical. Then you got mixes of all thsoe colors, and boy, I could go on for days, like pink, violet, sky, lavender....

lol, jk!

Adding this to the different colors thread.

Plenty of other colors. But none of them come close to the radiance of a shiny red finish!

I'll bite.

RED is a faster color anyway.

Proof: If you are in a red vette, in a line of traffic that is going above the posted limit, you get the high speed driving award.

Default Red Corvettes

Question: What do you call a Corvette painted any color except red?

Answer: A mistake.

I have a red 1980. I hope to get pictures posted soon, but I'm having trouble with the upload because apparently my pictures are too large (mb size).
