The good news is that SW Virginia dealers have some. Spent a day checking out white, silver and black, a couple with a red int. The good news is that the quality of these were excellent!. Also, these dealers are considering MSRP as the "top limit". Did not do any heavy bargaining.

The bad news is that Redfire and Torch were not there. So...instead of waiting, wanted to get some input on whether the red int would go with Torch. The red int (IMO) is a medium red color and would certainly go with redfire. I have read that Torch appears more orange in pictures. Well folks - have at it

I'll always thought a bright red was an excellent choice for a sports car, not a muscle car. IMO, the red interior goes matches best with Redfire, white, or the gray(s).

I would have to say that the torch red will match better with the red interior. I think the redfire with red interior would be clashing.

I just hope that the aftermarket will have blue leather to match a Sonic Blue exterior.

Have no fear about Torch Red! I saw a Torch Red GT with Red Interior this past weekend at a car show. It matches beautifully. It was the first time I saw the red int. in person, and I was floored by how good it looked.

Red with red interior is just too much for my blood. Especially Torch red clashes with red leather, they are too different. I saw one in that combo and didn't like it at all. But then again colors are very personal.

I picked up my Torch Red (Spoilerless) GT with Red Leather Interior last Wednesday. It does not clash at all, in fact, many have commented on how great the combination is. It is an excellent combo for a muscle car in my humble opinion.As an aside, I have received countless thumbs up, along with people stopping me on the streets of Chicago just to comment on how beautiful the car looks. Just last night, someone followed me off the expressway to a stop light just to express how good the car looks.

Torch Red Rules.

You & I got the same car, but I got the spoiler.

Please post pics after you do stripes as I am also considering.

I've seen a redfire/red int. and a torch red/red int. The red interior isn't either color...kind of in between. However, it didn't look bad in either car...

I personally ordered a Torch red with dark charcoal interior, but that's just me...

I have seen the Torch/ICAP combination and I think it looks great.

I am not a big fan of red, but it still looks good. Overall I do think Redfire is a nicer color.

I like the red&black seats in my 03 10th ann Cobra better than the solid red

Um, 'will it match?' It's a red on red sports car that has been around for 41 years. Of course Ford wouldn't throw in some pointless combination without having a reason. It's definitely gonna match.
