I thought Vitamin C was a Plymouth color or was it Dodge also??

Vitamin C was a different shade of orange that was available. Tor-Red is Plymouth orange, it's the same as Dodge Hemi orange. I wish that the Tor-Red they offer now was the same as it was in 71. That's what color my 71 Hemicuda is.

Now I am confused. A friend in HS had a Vitamin C AAR Cuda

Not sure I understand what you are confused about. In 70 they had 4 different colors of orange to choose from as on the color chart above that 70cuda posted. Some of the colors had different names if it was used on a Dodge or a Plymouth but it was the same color for both names.

I really hope they offer an orange, preferably Hemi-orange, but header orange would be great as well. That is the ONLY thing I don't like about the Hellcat is that I can't get my favorite color. I can compromise with the Tor Red they are offering, but would be ideal if orange was offered. Maybe that will be one of the mid year colors...I hope, then I would prefer to wait!

I'm with you, I really wanted the original Tor-Red which is the same as Hemi orange. I was disappointed when I found out that the current Tor-Red is not the same color as it was in the 70's, but it is close. it has just a little bit to much red and no metallic in it.

I am going with the current Tor Red, but I am actually torn. Should I go ahead and get the car now since I actually like the current Tor Red and I love EVERYTHING else about the car. The only gripe I have about the car itself is the lack of orange as an option. Or should I wait for 2016 (or possibly until May during mid-cycle when it seems as though SRT has already announced new colors) and hope they offer the orange I want, and maybe even have more horsepower, BUT possibly be missing some of the current options I love or find out that they decide to change one or more of the other things I love about it now? Difficult decision, but right now I lean about 95% towards going ahead and ordering the red one!

That's a tough one, your the only one that can decide that. I went with Tor-Red, I like it even if it's not the real Tor-Red it's close enough for me.
