all other sources call this color "Colorado" red? By this, I mean if you look up the color code and ask any automotive paint store the name, it is Colorado Red.

In fact, I just received a copy of my build sheet and it also calls the color Colorado Red?? Ideas??

When the color is on any other vehicle, it's Colorado Red. When the paint is applied to a Mustang, it's scientifically proven to make the car faster. Because of the accellerant properties and it's ability to burn, or 'Torch' ricers, it's termed 'Torch Red'.

To sum it up, Torch Red is faster than any other color, including Colorado Red.
