Plus 289 cars in my opinion look out of place with stripes, except Rick Parker's car. But John, FIA cars didn't have emblems either !? Thanks, Matt.

Actually, one of the 64 Shelby team car's ran emblems. Icluding the Powered By Ford emblems.

If you want a nice dark red that's not too dark but looks good, check out a 94 SVT Lightning. The color is called Crimson Red Clearcoat. It was used on the 94s only, 93s and 95s are a brighter red.

FIA ERA,
James Yale's (former) Daytona .. featured in Kit Car is Viper Red with Viper Silver stripes, the opposite of my ERA (see my gallery) Computer monitors are all different, but this is a pure red, not any yellow in it :



Good luck!
Sam

Don't laugh, but check out the red they use on the mini cooper. It would look outstanding.
