Cut down my 2 color choices to red or hot lava - Page 5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Red won for me, because of the interior.

If the car had color matched stitching, or even silver/black I would own a hot lava.

Red looks incredible with black accents, as does the HL. You cannot go wrong.

Asphalt master (colour) race

Hot Lava was my second choice. In fact, I almost switched to it from Firestorm at the First 86 event when they gave us "one last chance to change". In the end Firestorm won out for me "because race car".

I also don't think the Firestorm would have looked right as a pearl/metallic color.

Well other than your apparent lack of "master race" sense as we all know it is really Lava!
I saw my first Asphalt in the wild last night, in the rain, from behind (driving the wife's RVR or would have been at least beside) and it looked pretty sleek actually!

Lava has the most character for sure.. after owning a WRB bugeye v7 STi, a red 240sx, and a puke green ranger, I felt the time to change to charcoal/darker colours was right in line with my dealer's excellent pricing on his last 2015 asphalt on the lot

Hot Lava.

1: It's the rarest
B: It's looks the best in the sun after being waxed vs any other color.
Tres: The red looks good, but it looks good to cops too. However, it's too basic of a red for me, too "Toys-R-us-kind-of-red". It's not sexy enough like a 2015 Mazda 6 red. Also I've owned red cars before, wanted to try something else that wasn't red, black or silver.
Quattro: It's like having two colors. It's almost copper on a cloudy day and in the sun it looks like it's on fire.

How I feel going down the road on a sunny day!

I think the orange is pretty, but it was something I didn't think I'd still dig down the road. It seems like the better short term choice but you can't beat the timeless red sports car.

Lava without pearl and clearcoat = 1980 Mazda

Own a WRB BRZ, but if I were to get an FRS, it would definitely be Hot Lava.
