My Fav is the 'Formular Red' by Acura NSX. I feel it's the red-est red.

I'm still a fan of the stock vintage red color when properly maintained.

The red on the Mazdaspeed Miata is really nice. My friend has a red one and the paint looks deep.

That's Velocity Red Mica. It's also used on the RX-8. I think it's one of the best looking reds I've ever seen.

When my FD goes in for a repaint 4-5 years from now, Velocity Red will be a very, very close second to Vintage Red in consideration.

Your profile says you have a '93 Base. If it's a manual transmission car then 731 Vintage Red (VR) manual Base RX-7s were produced in '93 for the U.S. That's out of 1,734 Base models for that year. In 1993, Mazda produced more VR RX-7s (4,264 out of 9,976 cars) than any other color. Of course only about a third of these cars are left now. There are several threads in the forum that go deeper into specific colors and models produced for a certain year as well as how many RX-7s are left.
