I had a Magnetic and now have a Monterey Red which is slightly darker. I'm not sure where the other two fit in. They may all be fairly close. Usually there are some posts of comparisons when a new red comes out. Maybe you could find some on a search.

non metallics:
Precision red is the darkest, followed by victory, then the orange-ish torch red.
Metallics, Monterey, then Crystal and Mag red, they are fairly close.
I think precision would be closest to blood red.

And here is Monterey Red before I changed it out to body color black metallic. I loved the MR, but I like to change things up and didn't want to be locked into it as a trim color forever.

I'm of course partial to the Montery Red since my '07 is that color. The cool part about this color though is that it never looks the same in different lights. I don't have a clue why, but its never the same. I go up to the S. Calif. mountains, blue sky and this car is sparkling! On cloudy days, totally different. At night, it can look almost black. BTW, I let a woman pick out the color when I ordered it...that was a good choice! They know what they like as I get a lot more compliments on the color from women. Makes me happy

I like the Crystal Red Metallic the most, and it's an '08 color. That's b/c it's the color of my car.

It's hard to tell much from the photographs...especially for some of the reds which are very chameleon like depending on the lighting. I'd say Monterey red is the darkest. Magnetic Red Metallic II is almost a candy apple red in the bright sunshine but it looks considerably darker on an overcast day or at night.
