Firestorm because...race car.

I've always preferred Red or British Racing Green for sports cars. Only exception would be Yellow or Chevy's "red-orange" (think "orange" '69 Camaro) I might have chosen one of those. This is the only car I've liked Yellow on except for the Transformer Camaro.

I almost switched from Red to Hot Lava during the First86 until I found out that Red was actually sizing up to be one of the rare colors (I figured everybody would be getting Red). Also Olivia 1 (my '85 MR2) was red so it sort of a tradition with me.

The nice thing about Red is it doesn't get dirty, it just gets dull. Then when you wash it BAM! The bad thing about red is it shows every chip as a bright white spot.

I do wish the red had a pearl coat on it, but I like the flat red as well.
