Mine is Firestorm. Looks great when it's clean but because there is no metalflake to make it pop, it's not very forgiving for things like scratches, swirls, dings, etc. Dust and pollen also show up on it very easily. Red is a little more difficult to maintain and it is HOT in the summer sun. But, in my mind, it is the traditional color of a true sports car.

Don't worry about fading - all these cars have modern waterbased clearcoat finishes and they don't fade like the old acrylic enamels.
I am with you on the traditional sport cars color and nothing beats the Firestorm with a 20% window tint. Bu the hell if I am going to pay that kind of money might as well get the color I want and deal with the cons it brings, right?
