Such problems you have. You really need to be a car person, Specifically an F-body person to know it is Hugger Orange. It is really close to red.

I agree. As different as green and blue. Pictures don't do the difference justice.

Who cares what people think, it's your car and you know it's orange. When I was a kid my favorite color was orange and people thought I was crazy , now that I'm older my favorite color is blue and I'm depressed most of the time. I think I'm painting my car orange.

Well, shouldn't the name of the color be an indication?!!?
I mean, it is called, HUGGER ORANGE, right?!?!
There is alot of red in it, but also alot of yellow too. I love the color, one of the reasons why I bought my '99 HO, besides it's a Chevy and you can't go wrong with a Chevy & LS1 power.

Calm down dude, no need to get pissed off about some dizzy dames who are too stupid to see the difference. A lot of times though, Hugger Orange DOES look red in pics, although it doesn' t in the pics you' ve posted. I' ve seen some pics that if the owner hadn' t specified, I would have assumed the car was red.

Funny story....when I worked at Makita Power Tools, a couple of the Hispanic/Mexicans thought my HOSS was red so they called me "ROJO" which means red I agree that it does look kinda red from a distance, but what I wanna know is why r some of the panels on my car different shades? Is it cuz of the fiberglass or? Anyways, here's my car at it's other home-Byron Raceway & a lil' vid clip for u to get an idea of what the SLP LM exhaust sounds like w/o hdrs/cam. Very sweet cars in this thread, btw Enjoy>>>>> http://videos.streetfire.net/video/5...f6c3ad14c9.htm Track: http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y24...RRVideo007.flv
