I will add my $.02, I was ready to order the Torch Red and went to the dealer to make my order. On my way through the door I passed a Redfire and it was like OMG!!! I really loved the color and the metallic just pops in the sun. I like all the Mustang colors but I have to say that between the reds the Redfire is simply beautiful.
I would listen to your wife only because I usually don't and it always gets me in trouble.

I had Laser Red on my '02 which was a bit lighter than redfire, and Bright Red on my '92. Both reds are nice but I went with Torch on my '07 so it would be different than what I just got rid of, but to be honest the Torch is absolutely the definitive mustang color. Every time I look at the car, I say to myself, "That car is HOT!". Take a look:Attachment 3709

semperfi65, I love your car! I almost ordered the same one, but I just couldn't decide on the GT/CS because I wanted to do the racing stripes over the top and the standard tape stripe on the white GT/CS only comes in black ( I wanted blue). I love your interior!
My opinion on the red is to do the redfire. I test drove a torch and I couldn't stand the way it looked with a little dirt on it. I think the performance white with vista blue stripes is my favorite, but redfire with white stripes was a close second. Guess I didin't want to be a cop magnet with the red.

RI but my car had nothing - just a couple of dimples in the bumper that I screwed my front plate directly into. Your car looks like it has a specific front plate mounting bracket between the bumper and the plate.

I'm obviously biased... but Torch Red all the way.
I really like Redfire when the sun's shining on it, but really hate it every other time (too "maroon" for my tastes then).

I like blue cars for some reason, but was telling a guy a while back- of all the colors Ive seen, redfire I think I gotta pick as overall 'best looking color' mostly because of the metallic...I'm content with vista blue, but still wish it woulda been the old acapulco blue or the late atlantic blue shade...both those had the depth to them similar to redfire- in the sun at least. The cars look so darn good though, no 'bad' color exists- whatever you like, go for it.

Sounds like Redfire is your road to happiness.

That's exactly why I ended up with a Black GT 'vert instead of the Redfire I really wanted.
I vote for Redfire.

Both colors are incredibly ugly, I can't believe ANYONE would want them on their stang!!!... JK! JK! Before anyone and EVERYONE jumps down my throat I'm just playing around. Actually you can't go wrong with either color. Redfire was my first choice back in 05' and I still think it's an awesome color. As Thunder Road said, redfire is a very classy color. Also Torch red is very nice, nothing wrong with it. Everyone's opinion is different, as for mine, I have to give the nudge to Redfire.

The Torch can be nice when the lighting is right, but for me, it's too orange.
Red is notorious for fading, and flat paints fade much faster than metallics. So that alone would lead me to Redfire.
But even so, I think the Redfire is so much classier looking. As some have said, it changes color somewhat under different lighting conditions, and can look kind of maroon or burgandy under cloudy or flourescent light.
But if you apply Zaino car polish to the Redfire, it gives it an unbelievable depth that looks incredible under any of those lighting conditions.
Redfire all the way! Consider, too, that it's also the first color Ford used when it trotted the car out for its early advertising campaigns, because Ford's ad company - whoever they are - came to the determination that Redire was the most "attractive" color to sell the new Stang. So you might want to think about that...

Truer words were never spoken...
Meanwhile, I thought redfire was nicer than torch, but coming out of the Acme yesterday, a Torch GT vert with tan top (in up position) pulled in as I was pulling out and I had to rethink that redfire vs torch argument.
Of course, Grabber range isn't bad either...

Well I talked with my wife and she just didn't like the Torch Red with the black convertible roof. So, since I'm getting the coupe she's OK with the Torch Red.
I appreciate all the responses and as of now it's looking like Torch Red.
