Now that I'm getting orange I cant stop noticing how many red cars I see, and I dont just mean your typical red SUV/pickup, I mean sporty red cars like corvette, lexus, etc. I keep imaging how lame I'd feel if every one of these guys happened to line up with me at a stop light 
Really stoked about the orange, the pictures dont do it justice. In fact it doesnt even really look anything like the pictures in real life, it's weird. Really need like a professional camera to take it right.

Orange! Ruby Red would be a good choice though. Not a fan of Race Red. My wife's 11 is Candy Red..beautiful color. I have a 14 Charger R/T in Header Orange which seems to be pretty much the same as Ford's Competion Orange. LOVE that color. Before that I had a Sunset Orange Metallic HHR..and I DID dress it up as a pumpkin on Halloween!

ORANGE !!
Have a '69 Mustang painted orange (Calypso Coral) and had a 2004 Mustang that was Competition Orange ... colors were very close.
Comp-Orange was the LEAST COMMON Mustang color in 2004 however was the most common color on the Mach 1 version.
Would guess the least common 2015 color will be Orange, Yellow, or Guard. Race Red will be much more common, but not likely as common as Black, Silver, and White.

Honestly do everything possible to go see them both in person. Pictures with these S550 just don't do them justice. I was between black red and orange and could not decide. Happened to see all 3 in person and instantly chose CO!

I was on the fence between guard and orange, then went and saw both in person. The orange is just so stunning, especially with black rims. But even without, it is a beautiful color.
Guard is still a nice color for sure, but orange is a no-brainer for me for a more eye-catching color.
Also looked totally different than I imagined.

I finally saw some 2015's at a dealer a couple of months ago. I wasn't bowled over with what was on the lot.....silvers, whites, RR metallic. But on the showroom floor was a CO with the PP and it knocked me out...very agressive looking, and the color just accentuated it's lines. CO changed my mind about the S550, at least in that color
I've since seen other colors and am slowly coming around overall, but CO is a head turner.

I bought the race red one. I owned a competition orange in a 2004 Mustang. While I did like it, it was a novelty color to me and wore off after a couple of years. My next Mustang was Kona Blue. I loved that color. The reason I got race red this time was the color just popped out to me. IMHO you can't go wrong with any of the colors except black or white, such a pita to keep clean.
However, I still choose it over orange.
