Changing my order from GO to Redfire

I'm going to call up tomorrow and change my GT/CS order from Grabber Orange to Redfire. What do you think of that?
The Grabber Orange, as much as I love it, as it's a very rare and masculine color, is going to be unappealing to a lot of people (like my wife). The Redfire probably appeals to everyone. Also, I think the parchment/black interior looks better with the Redfire than the orange. (But look out for the Grabber Blue!)

If anyone has more photos of GT/CSs, especially interiors, I'd be obliged if they'd post 'em.

I think you are making a good choice. Although I really like GO for its nostalgic appeal, I am a fan of metallic paints. I'm not a red car guy, but I do think the Redfire metallic is beautiful. Parchment would go great with that color.

I almost did the same thing but stuck with it & I LOVE it as a matter of fact it's killing me that I don't have it now but have to pick it up in a couple hours from it being udercat/rust proof & Diamond coated. So if you do change color and it gets to the lock in date That is what you will get. First instinks are usually the best , You will be the owner & you have to live with it, do be swayed but what others like or dislike , Beauty is inn the eye of it's beholder.

The GO is a great color, especially if you want to stand out in a crowd. LOL. If you liek the Red then you have to go with it, you are the one that has to drive it. Enjoy the car and if you can make the wife happy, then that is all that counts.

I would recommend at least doing a dealership search on www.fordvehicles.com and see if there are any dealers with Grabber Orange on the lot, so you and your wife could see it in person to make a more informed decision. It may be hard to find one on the lot though, it seems not many dealerships are buying GO and sticking them on the lot... I expect most of us Grabber Orange Nut Cases have ordered their vehicles...

You'll never find a GO GT/CS on a lot. Too rare. Mostly, they won't even believe it's available. It'll be the most collectable of them but I just can't believe that my wife could drive it to work. Besides, Redfire is a great color alternative.

A GO stripper (Deluxe w/few options) would really be my first choice, if it were just me.

What really scares me is that I'll buy an '07 4.6 and then Ford will come out with a bigger standard engine. Some kind of GT350. Man, I'd be not only ****ed, but poor, since I'd have to trade in.

Where do ya think ya could find a GO GT/CS photo or real car just to look at?

I really was only suggesting to find a regular-version Grabber Orange somewheres, so you could check the color in person... I currently fear the GO GT/CS is a phantom vehicle... have not seen one single post of a real live car with this setup yet...

Actually, the dealer down the road has a couple. I've seen them. And they're pretty close to what I'd want (if I weren't getting the Redfire for the sake of wifey).

But they've been sitting out on the lot under the snowstorms and theyr'e pretty dirty. I can't see what a clean, waxed, shiney one would look like. Could you post a really great photo of yours, including the interior?
