I've ordered a black GT PP in October, went to the dealership yesterday asking about the VIN (still nothing). BUT, they had a TY GT PP in stock, just arrived and available immediately.....
Picking it up next week and no regret at all. That yellow is really standing out...

That's almost what happened to me in 2005. I had ordered a silver GT sight unseen, but two weeks later I happened to see a silver car on a lot, and it was not what I expected. :(
I called the dealer immediately and asked if it was too late to change the color, and luckily for me, I was not locked in yet. I scrambled looking online at dealer inventories, found a dealer an hour away who had a bunch of Mustangs in different colors on the lot, and drove up to check them out. The Screaming Yellow one just stole the show. When I got close up, I noticed it was quite dirty, but it hid the dirt amazingly well. Comparing the cars lined up next to each other, the yellow car was the standout, and that's what I ordered.
10 years later, and I don't regret the decision at all. When I take it to the track, it looks like it belongs.
And just in every day use, it still gets noticed. I seriously can't go anywhere even now without someone inevitably giving me a "nice car" compliment. It just attracts attention. (It also attracts flying bugs - they think it's a giant flower apparently.)

I agree, there are a lot of cars with those colors. My wife's car is dark grey. But my car parked next to hers definitely shows a big difference. Dark Grey is not the same as this Magnetic Metallic.

The red just pops out at you, looks aggressive. That's my calling lol.
Not to sound ridiculous but I want people to notice me when I drive by.

Couldn't have said it better. While I loved the old tungsten grey metallic color, it would have looked amazing on a 2015 IMO, the magnetic gives some interesting colors in all different lighting situations. It also seems to hide different environmental conditions a little better than a black or white car per say.

The only problem with driving a Race Red Mustang is the increase of Police attention. Better stay within 5 mph of the speed limit or you`ll attract moving violations like crazy. Had a Rio Red Mustang Convertible I bought new in 1994 and no vehicle before or after caused the amount of tickets acquired with no significant change in driving patterns either.

True enough. I had a cop follow me into a parking lot this morning to tell me my car was bad ass!

Ruby Red Clear Coat Metallic draws attention but "Race Red" is like waving a Red Cape in front of a raging bull. Oh well... drive accordingly.True enough. I had a cop follow me into a parking lot this morning to tell me my car was bad ass!
