If you want to see Torch Red, just look at 1997-2002 Corvettes painted red, that's the color. As Musclerodz indicated, it has more yellow in it (so it's definately more "orangey") and less intense than Viper Red, which contains less yellow.

I would say that if the plan is to do red with white Z28 stripes, then Viper red is probably a better choice, IMHO.

Another really eye-popping red is currently being used on the 2005-6 Audi A4.

The red used on the 2001-up honda S2000 is also a very nice red.

1973-74 Pontiac Buccaneer Red, as used on the TransAm at that time, was also a really great red.

Also, IMHO, the only way you should judge the color is outside, in natural sunlight.

Just some ideas.
