Default Mod Red v.s. Firethorn Red

Are they pretty much the same color? If not, which is darker/lighter? Thanks.

I think you mean to compare Firethorn to Torch Red, not Mod Red. Mod Red was for the C5 Z06 only. Firethorn is more of a maroon, while torch is bright red.

Below is a pic of my old 2001 coupe with Torch Red interior and below that is my current 2003 Z with Mod Red. Don't be confused by the black mats in the 2001. The stock ones are/were the same red.

Default Torch, Mod, Firethorn

No actually I meant Mod Red. I have Firethorn Red and am looking at a Zo6 with Mod Red. I just wanted to see the shade difference and you showed it to me. Thanks, I appreciate the help.

"Mod Red" and Torch are the same - "Mod" refers to the combo with Black.

As others have indicated mod red is torch red. The difference is pretty well illustrated in the photos above. The "Mod" in mod red refers to the modified black interior.
