Guards Red:

[speeder]

Never looked so good, IMO. When I sold Porsches at the dealer in the ‘80s, it was one of my least favorite colors. It was common, obvious and boring, IMO. A cliche’.

I’ve come around and a lot of it has to do with the sea of white/black/grey that is every modern freeway and parking lot. Plus, it just looks great on the new cars.

I remember being told it was too common and got overplayed. But I still like it to this day. I've had several red cars- I like them...

For a long time I thought Guards Red was just so common.

In the last few years my opinion has really changed and I love 'em (really just the '80s Carreras).

Last weekend I saw a Guards Red Carrera Targa - '80s vintage - driving through Frazier, CO and I wanted to follow it (but didn't).

Driving back from Az last week I saw a new 911 in what looked like Marina Blue.

Looked real nice!

I never thought I'd own a Red Porsche - for the same reasons mentioned in the OP.

Then this one came along and I couldn't be happier. Not "Guards Red" but still Red......

[fintstone]

I guess it is a tolerable color on these old clunkers (even Targas):

[MBAtarga]

I don't have anything against Guards Red!

[HobieMarty]

I've always thought that shade of red was very cool, especially with black trim.

I liked em' as a kid and still like em' now. An older pic but still looks the same with little difference in mileage due to lack of use. 500-800 miles a year if I am lucky.

Guards red Has always been one of my favorite colors.

I saw a new red Mustang a few days ago, and that red really popped out.

My first 911 was Guards red and when I sold it, it was the first time I made money on a car! (1993)

I'd love a brick red 356 someday

While I can appreciate the beauty of a gaurds red Porsche, I have never owned a red car.

Sweet goodness the things I’d do for that car. Wow!

The guy I bought my GT3 from is selling his Guards Red one, it looks great on the 997 as well.

[DWBOX2000]

I’m good with GR.

My XKE is Guards Red - it was restored in the 80's and as you know, that was the hot color back then.

[creaturecat]

whore red. drive it like you rented it ........

[3rd_gear_Ted]

Rossa Corsa is a nice red also.

[speedster911]

as others have posted , common and boring in the 80s- I still love the color..... and the car

[cabmandone]

IMO there is NOTHING better looking than a guards red 911. Love them when I was a kid. Wanted to switch the color of my GP white cab but my brother talked me out of it.
