Recognizing that I spend very little time driving under street lights at night... I wanted something a little brighter this time. The Race Red seems to be more on the Orange side where the Torch Red, more on the red side. At least to my eyes. Both are great colors, so still on the fence.

Carmine Red


The Carmine Red is a little dark don't you think? Mazda has a gorgeous red if you haven't seen it, has a purple tint to it.

I've always felt Cobras were cartoon cars, I mean when you think about it they're kind of ridiculous. With this thought I always felt like they should have an in your face cartoon color. When my wife wanted to do blue I wasn't very excited, the old cobra standard Guardsman Blue is, well, bla. We looked at some modern blues like Subaru Rally Blue and the Jaguar Casium Blue. I was worried if we painted it a Jaguar blue it would leak oil so that was out Ended up with a HoK candy blue over silver that you can hear before you see. Literally everyone we meet says something about the color.

Good luck, I'll be following along.
