Red is also a cop magnet.. there have been a couple times where I was glad I was 1 of 10 silver cars going just a few miles over the speed limit

Some cops aren't car guys but I guarantee at some point they will mistake the twins for this. As you can see there is a passing resemblance.

Ultramarine looks amazing when clean, pretty dull when dirty. I personally like Ultramarine most

Since you're on the fence, I'd go with whichever pops up first.
Here in my neck of the woods, the firestorm ones are a dime a dozen here, and when I finally decided on ultramarine, I ended up driving 6 hours to buy it, since none were shipped in the 2 months I waited for one to come to my area.

TLDR?
This:
If you're a superhero, get the red.
If you're a shadowy ninja, go blue.

Haha I wanted ultramarine and ended up w firestorm and it grew on me too. Saw one in lava. love it. Silver love it. Whiteout.... DROOOOLLLL
to answer op's q though- I like firestorm. Hides the safety feature side blinkees and such and well.... god it looks so sweet. Though I believe that ultramarine will definitely age better because of the metallics

I voted ultramarine, due to there are so much firestorms already + I want to get a firestorm as well, unless they release a yellow one!!!

If you plan to mod, you might want to consider what color scheme of wheels and lip kit you'd go with before you pull the trigger on a car color. This particular dark blue JDM BRZ was my inspiration before I started modding mine (though mine is WRB):

Besides that, this is essentially a question of personal preference. Vanilla v. chocolate. Blondes v. brunettes. I'd usually only consider red if it were on a Ferrari. If any other brand car is red I see it as trying too hard to be what Ferrari is in essence (red). Red = Ferrari. It's synonymous. Any other car that's red does not equate... I can't get that stigma out of my head.

Ultramarine is my least favorite color (horrible contrast with black). Firestorm is my favorite color.

Voting for firestorm all the way

Speedy000 · 04-13-2013, 09:41 PM

red is magical when it comes to taking pictures and editing..you can really make it pop! but in person the red one is meh. go blue.

Kelbyat07 · 04-13-2013, 09:52 PM

I don't see much Ultramarine on the road. Both are very nice colors, but blue pops out better.

TheEradicator · 04-13-2013, 11:07 PM

I like ultramarine, but my girlfriend has an 08 TC with the same color and I didn't want to be twinkies.

Calidrifter · 04-13-2013, 11:10 PM

My top 3 color choices were Asphalt, Ultramarine and Firestorm. They didn't have the first two which made it an easy choice for red.

False. Statistically, grey is pulled over the most.

Where are the numbers at

Stats are funny like that cause you can skew them to your favor. Silver is one of the most common colors on the road, therefore, you will have a higher rate of silver cars being pulled over because there are more silver cars out on the road than red.

Just from a human perspective, if you are watching 10 cars drive by at 85-90 mph and 9 of them are silver or white and 1 is red/yellow/lime-green, which do you think would garner more attention?

Doesn't mean you will be pulled over, but you will get noticed (good and possibly bad)
