    Gotta love the choices. Top marks to Chrysler back in the day, and today as well. I really like my Go Mango.

    I also love the high impact colors. I feel that a muscle car should stand out and not blend in with all of the "grocery getters."

    That's why I was so glad that Dodge offered Hemi-orange (the color of my 2009 SRTR). Watch the 17:25 minute mark of this video.

    There were 10 original Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth high impact colors in the 60s/70s. Also there were these nine names that were (luckily) rejected:

    Catch Me Copper
    Unforseeable Fuicha
    Statutory Grape
    Gang Green
    Well Red
    Cost Of Living Rose
    Fisher Body Rust
    Hi-Ho Silver
    Frank Lloyd White
