[CobraRed_96_GT]

Thanks! mine is a 98, i guess its either laser or performance. i will have to go check the code.

If it's a solid red than I would say Laser Red. If it has the slightest tint of orange to it, it's Rio Red. Click on my sig below to see my Rio Red 98.

performance red.. I think not

Performance Red has a bit of an orange hue to it (see twothousandgt's sig pic above)

Laser Red is a dark metallic red (similar to a candy apple red)

Rio Red is about as red as red can get

Are you one of those people with a Perf. Red GT offended by someone saying it looks orange?

No... see my sig. I have Rio Red. I just think Rio Red is slightly orange and performance red really has some orange in it. I don't think Laser Red has any orange in it. That's all.

Mine is torch red, and seems a little orange to me. Just give us the damn paint code!

That information was my error. I looked at the color codes briefly and typed off of memory.
