If a GT350R spec tier-list existed, where would you put my Race Red car??

Yours looks great
I think this color looks better on other cars, such as yours and the very similar blue that they used on the focus RS

Color choice is always personal. I love GrabberBlue so much, that I bought both my Mustang in that color

When it was time to pick my next mustang the Ford dealer brought in every shade of Blue mustang at the time. Beacuse I couldn't decide. I saw my first option pull in, and was like "yeah baby a nice deep blue the one i think I want ...Then the next car was the GrabberBlue. I couldn't stop looking it. I tried so hard...but it kept sucking me back"

I did a phycology trick I assigned 1 color to each head of a coin And flipped it. While it's spinning in mid air my brain tells me what I want it to land on naturally before it lands. And that was grabberBlue.

It also has a pretty good back story

I guess you could say... It grabbed you?

New tier list just leaked. Mine dropped a tier, but I'm ok with it because there's some good specs for the R. Poor twister orange... It's a great color completely derailed by the R's insistence on red. I don't think anybody ever said red and orange is a good combo. It still looks so cool, don't get me wrong, but the insistence of red at this time puts it at the lowest tier.

Agreed, the red calipers on twister orange is a painful combo to my eyes which is why I had to go color matched on my Orange Fury car when it came time to fix the calipers. My buddy's twister 500 for reference.

Here’s one that just went live. We’ll se how it does. Mileage is still decent. Should do well.

You guys are a terrible influence. Now I have to explain to me wife that I bought a model car and my two sons ages 3 and 1 can't play with it because it cost $215.

I have a 2020 Race Red GT350. Originally came with white and metallic grey stripes, but the first thing I did that cold winter I bought it was got out the heat gun, some bourbon, and stayed up late taking off the stripes. I know, that is Shelby sacrilege, but I love the clean look of a pure Race Red GT350. I decided on Race Red as a nod to my Performance Red 1992 LX 5.0 that I had in high school and college. I will never sell this car.

I don't think the GT350 comes in a bad color. Grabber blue is legendary and I think Magnetic Grey is very underrated.

Will respectfully disagree with Grabber Blue being flat

I think when they say flat I think they are talking to the lack of any metallic. Grabber is certainly one of the more historic colors and I agree Grabber should be moved up along with the yellow. It is personal and, for me, the whites and the grays are not something that catches my eye. But that's just me. I will say, Ford loves Blues

Mine is a 2022 so it’s the Grabber Blue Metallic. I can see the prior Grabber Blue being seen as more flat. GBM seems to color shift a little more with the metallic in it.

Ford does love its blues that’s for sure, although I did see Atlas is out of the lineup for 2025. Rapid Red is also out and a new red is inbound, Molten Magenta Metallic.

I have a few that are in that price range, what she doesn’t know doesn’t hurt me LOL. Luckily my kids are old enough that they’re beyond the “want to play with dad’s diecast cars” age.

Yeah I'm going to have to play with it in secret and keep the vrooms and screeches low so I don't wake anyone up.

It did

I'm.... I'm speechless. I'll give you all a moment to process this. I just got off the phone with my agent and it looks like this is final

The Heritage R and Kona R I agree with at the top. Oxford White should move down a couple. If I was doing the list, Grabber Lime, Grabber Blue and Triple Yellow would be in the A tier. And frankly, none of them should be below C tier. They’re all R’s after all! Just my $0.02.

Kinda agreeing with you about oxford.
