Hi fellow GT350 owners. I am trading in my 2015 GT Magnetic for a GT350. My choices are down to a used 2017 Magnetic Black stripes or Race Red White stripes. Basically only two I can find without Recaro seats.

Any Race Red owners have regret of color, or is it still as beautiful as day 1. Also any concern on a used on? It has 4,500miles. Thanks all I advance.

No regrets on Race Red (I regret not having a better camera). Race Red looks fantastic clean, yet also holds up well when dirty/dusty. Between my wife and I, we have 5 cars, 3 are red (other 2 are white). Common denominator on the colors - they look great clean or dirty, and have a nice contrast to the black trim prevalent on modern cars. Where in Jersey?

Congrats - every color looks great, tho I'm partial to Lightning blue.

And yes where are all the other GT350s in NJ? In my area I've seen at most 4 different cars, but not sure because they are all magnetic with black stripes!

Bridgewater. you? .Thanks for the insight in the Red. I’m a White car guy. The Magnetic was a stretch, but I like that, looks good when dirty. LOL. This one would be in the street. The GT500 is garage queen!

Red. It’s the fastest color.

I've had mine for a little over 2 years and still have absolutely no regrets. I love this color (I don't have stripes) and still look back to stare at my car every time I park it. Plus, as [MENTION=10791]TaraFirma[/MENTION] said, it's the fastest color. It says so right in the name, RACE Red :D

Race Red rocks. Very eye-catching, especially with the contrasting white OTT stripes. Don't worry about used. Original factory warranty will cover you. Obviously, get a CARFAX and look for the VIN tags.

Are you a Greek God?

THANK YOU GUYS, you all have made me smile...The advise on the Used car is great as well. It would be my 1st used car EVER, and I am 53...

For the record, I am trying to talk myself out of the Red...you all have done NOTHING to help that!:headbang:

[MENTION=17837]raiderjatt02[/MENTION] makes a good point. Chose your color based on what you want to see each time you step away from your car. I honestly believe that if you don’t look back at your ride every time you walk away and think “damn that’s a good looking machine” then you bought the wrong car.

I narrowed down to ruby red or lightning blue but wifey thought red was a "young guy's" color. I'm 59! Anywho, happy with blue. If you want to see what it looks like in person, let me know, I'm right down the road.
