Can't Decide
#21
I was wrestling with the same decision you are. I went with redfire. I'm still waiting for my car, but I saw another redfired at a dealership and I'm happy with my decision. Either way, you're going to get a beautiful car!

Redfire is gorgeous. Finally saw one in person 3 weeks ago at a dealership. So glad I chose this color for my V6. This one was a GT. And you know, after staring at it so long, I originally wasn't a fan of the fog lights in the grille, but they looked sweet to me now also. Car's still there after 3 weeks. Probably cause it only has I.U.P. "Lite" & an auto trans cause they're only asking for just over $26,000. My current Firebird is black & I've loved the color. After 10 years just want a change. I don't think you'll regret afterwards which ever one you choose.

Unfortunately the dealer flaked on me and flat out refused to give me any of the pricing he had promised. after talking and arguing economic theory with the guy I walked out. We have bought our last two cars there and I thought he would treat us right. But apparently he doesnt want our continued buisiness over an argument on 1500 dollars in price, oh well. I dont even mind paying MSRP but just on principle alone I will only pay 500 over invoice. I wil be shopping around trying ot find a smaller less busy dealership and will report back once IU have more info....
Thanks again for all your input and I will be getting a redfire.

I don't really like the red on mustangs, red looks really good on certain cars, but this red looks kinda burt reynolds to me or something, like magnum PI lol... no offence.
the 05 looks like a masculine car... and black compliments that really well. IMHO.
your car is an extension of your personality... choose what you think is best. I chose black

black is my second favorite color. I love red, but never been a fan of the Lazer Red, which turned into Redfire Red.
I was seriously thinking of ordering black, despite warnings from several friends and relatives who owned black cars and swore never to get them again. Then a couple weeks ago I went to see one INSIDE a showroom that was cleaned just that day, and it was already covered with a thin film of plainly visible dust. You couldn't see the dust at all on the other cars in the showroom - only on the black one. Then up close, it was fingerprint city! Smudges all over the thing. Yuck. Finally, the car looked like it had scratches all over it. Maybe they would come right out with a waxing, but maybe not...
Now, SurfinSoCal's black '05 GT is probably the shiniest car I have ever seen in my life, so there's nothing like them if you spend the time and do the clay bar thing and all of that. But with black you're making a definite commitment to being a car wash slave.

The redfire I saw had almost a "rose" appearance in bright sunshine. Pictures of this color don't do it justice. It's one of those colors that has subtle changes, depending on the outside enviroment. Get an up close look at it, if you already haven't.

Extremely happy I went redfire!

I guess I'm the only one who's sick to death of Red Fire '05's! That's all I see in mags, books, everywhere! I'm waffling between black and silver myself... this colour choice thing is THE hardest thing to decide!

I have an 05GT and my part time job is around Giants Stadium. If didn't have a Satin Silver, the color would definetly be BLACK. I seen an all BLACK GT a couple of months ago at the lot and it was hot.

Then again, you could go with Black on top and maroon, sorry, Redfire on the sides. There's a post here somewhere that involves a 2-tone paint scheme...

Went w/ black... makes the mirros & molding body color. Besides, I would have spent valuable mod money on painting the hood,wing & rear panel black otherwise
Same here, notice the "blackout" I didn't have done between the tail lights!
