My dealer called to let me know that they just got in a Torch Red GT with the Bullitt wheels, IUP and red leather accent upgrade. I haven't gotten down to look at it yet so in order to get properly psyched for the weekend, I'd love to see YOUR Torch red on red Mustangs!

Too bad I'm in Florida. Otherwise, I'd beat you to buying it. It looks great together. Hopefully I'll be able to post a pic for you next month.

Good combo...I like the Dark Charcoal a bit better, but that's my own opinion. Go for it!

I love the red on red (I have one, so I'm a little biased). The all-black interior was a little too dark for me. I'm out of town until next Wednesday, so I won't be able to post pics until then though. Get to that dealer and check it out

I have to be honest here.

Torch Red with the red interior... CLASHES!! Big time. Saw it at the NAIAS in person.. and didn't like that combo much.

Redfire with the red interior looks good, but IMO, not with Torch Red.

Here's a pic I took from the show.. in person, it clashes.

The lighting at NAIAS didn't do the combo any favors... the bluish/violet lights they had shining down on it made the paint look way different than it actually is (looked way too "pink"). They actually do match up much better in "normal" light (attached pic from inside the garage). IMO the redfire exterior is too dark for the red interior.

Your pic doesn't show much, but none-the-less, I agree with you 100%. Redfire is too dark and clashes worse than the Torch IMO.

I have red on red... ...but my exterior paint is Rio Red... ...still wanna see it?

Torch red may be a bit too orange to match with the red accent interior. In 94-95 the only red on red combo you could get was with rio red... ...never on laser red. Youd think with the demand they would limit stuff like that.

I am so bad about my shades of red that with the top down... ...I WILL NOT (or try atleast) wear a red shirt, due to the fear of it clashing

There are some pretty good pics of the Torch red/red combo in the vert section of the site (mostly Ford PR pics I think). I attached one that shows ext/int close up.

And Ford would also agree as they used the combination to intro the vert, display it at the NAIAS and publish it in some of their advertising. Of course, beauty is in the eye as they say. I ordered it and thought it looked great. Agree about the car at NAIAS, it looked like crap, pink crap. The lighting did that color no favors.

That is my exact car you quoted there exc911ence. I posted a couple of topics with some pictures I took the day of delivery and day after.
