Oh crap Dave, you had me scared there for a minute. Yeah, your right, you don't want Race Red. Truly, no one but myself can live with being just like Greg. @EvlNvrDysAll true statements (coming from not only a paint guy but a consumer who has owned a LOT of vehicles, most colors).
1)most all will. But reds, and any dark color- for sure.
2) sort of. It's more of a "My eyes are bleeding because the sun came out" red.
3) yes, yes it does.
4) statistically speaking, it seems true. Although many "experts" in the field will deny it, it does seem true. Maybe even because the color is RACE red, it tends to make the "go pedal" a bit more enjoyable?
5) Honestly it does. The red vehicles I've had, I loved. They looked amazing when cleaned and waxed. Skimp on care and it will chalk up, haze, be some weird shade of purple, pink, red, and brown all rolled into one dull red Crayola of sadness. Definitely less work than Black (or AMBlack), but not by much.
6) I am SERIOUSLY on the fence after those pics dropped Friday of that red 2 dr at the dealer. I ordered A51 because I liked it in person at the TN show, it looked good with the lighter "silvery" (pre-prod) MIC top, and it would hide some dirt fairly well. But with the newer, smoother, darker MIC it goes REALLY well with Race red.
I am still undecided whether to call up the dealer and change from A51 to RR. Like literally 50/50 at this point on what I want to do...
I need some advice.
EDIT:
Ordered a 4 DR BL, MGV. SO part of it (small part) is that the handle accents and stitching (not very noticeable, really) are Orange. It actually goes very well with A51. Good compliment. But with RR? Meh. The handle inserts (and aftermarket) are easily enough changed out.
