I absolutely love it. I like the mag red too, but I don't think it's as pretty, a lil' too dark.

I actually bought my car knowing that there were a few minor issues I'd have to deal with because I loved the color so much, and the price was right too.

Plus I liked the appeal of only 381 CR '97's.

There were three reds in 2000. The Torch Red, Magnetic Red and Magnetic Red II. Mag Red II came out mid year on the 2000's. Mine came off the line in March 2000 as a Mag Red II. The early 2000's were the original Mag Red. The two 86 codes are the Mag Red (Red Pearl Tri-coat) and Mag Red II (Red Tint Tri-coat).
