I saw the base model red hot metallic, white stripes at the Carlisle show. The car was gorgeous and it looked even "stockier" in person. However my son was more interested in the Orange front clip that was next to it and he was insisting I buy that and put it on my Audi so it looks cooler. Either way seeing that red is making my color decision harder.

Correct me if Iam wrong but according to Ford Performance they don't call it "Red Hot Metallic". I think that color is called "RACE RED". I love it and thats the color Iam going to go with. Yes, Iam #1 on my Ford Dealers list for a 2020 SHELBY GT 500. Iam going with that color but going to also go with the "Painted" Dual Stripes but in "BLACK". I think the black dual stripes will make the car POP much more than white stripes. Would love everyones opinion.

Race Red and Red Hot Metallic are two different colors. Race Red is NOT a metallic paint and has been available for many years now. Red Hot Metallic is a new color for 2020.

WHERE CAN I GO TO SEE THE NEW COLORS???? I CALLED THEIR ENGINEER AND TOLD HIM I WANTED A BRIGHT RED CAR AND HE SAID "OH YOU WANT THE RACE RED". HE NEVER SAID ONE WORD ABOUT "RED HOT METALLIC". JUST FOR THE RECORD THE "RED HOT METALLIC" ACTUALLY SOUNDS MUCH PRETTIER. I LOVE METALLIC PAINT.

Unless you catch the cars at one of the shows across the country, or happen to see them testing in your area, you can't...for now.

If you want a bright red car, Race Red is for you. I don't believe we've seen a GT500 in Race Red as of yet. All of the GT500's I've seen have been the new Red Hot Metallic.

I think the redhot mettalic is a killer color, and I hate reds, but that just has some real appeal to it

I was all for it initially. However, it gets a little too brown for my liking in direct sunlight. Seems to wash out a bit. Indoor under lights, it looks absolutely amazing!
