Dammit now I'm not sure between Torch Red and Crystal Red.

You'll have plenty of time to think about it.

Thanks! That last pic of Tran's is what I've been looking for!! Something out in the sun.... I wanted to see the reflective properties...

Who's the expert on color differences? Are there any real differences between Crystal Red Metallic (My '01) and what they are calling it now...CR tintcoat? Does it have to do with the amount of gold fleck's in the paint?

My '01 was a head turner and I give zaino alot of the credit. The CRM was amazing after a "tune-up" polish....

I'm pretty sure the only differences is the flake in the paint.

Thanks for that last batch of shots in the shade, made me realize CRT is not for me, too dull when not in the sun.

Right now I am leaning to white. Too bad there is not an option for a pearl white - there is a great one on the BRZ, also the GTI has its lovely Ornyx White. Flat white snaps from a distance but it's not as interesting up close.

The C7 (first pics) were somewhat different than the Z51 pics? The Z51 pics looked more like Torch Red than CRM.
CRM should be a deeper red with a fleck that sparkles in the sun.
