SVTpower Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I can't tell you how many nights I've had problems sleeping thinking about this. I think I've asked too many people and shown too many photos. Red/ white - Too many say not to get red........not muscle enough, not the right red, looks orangy sometimes, will be too popular etc......... but I like it. it's bright, has lots of 'pop'to it but will I regret it????? Hmmmmmm.......... Ebony/WHite - people saying too much contrast, looks too 'decal' ish' I like it though.......the white gives it some 'pop' Ebony/Tungsten - almost everyone of my car buddies........and my wife say this is the one. I like it ........tuff!!, mean!!! , combo goes good together but a b*tch to keep clean, but it will be a toy for pleasure use anyways. I know, I had a black stang in the past. This one is a safe bet to order. If silver stripes were available, then it be a no brainer but n/a..........tungsten the closest I suppose I will read your replies in the a.m. before I go. Decisions..........decisions................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest evilchris Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Black is the meanest color of all and worth the added effort to keep nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Get Black...no - wait - I mean Red, yeah, that's the ticket. No, wait - Black is Bad. But - Red is hot.... The most popular color will be the easiest to sell. But - I may keep this thing forever. I feel your pain, man. I was on the fence between White/Blue and Red/White. (tradition vs hot) I've had a black Mustang. If this one was going to be a weekender, black for sure. But - I'm driving this one every day. Your call.

Decisions..........decisions................. Well SVTP, R1Lello, you know that I understand Your dilemma! In the end I went with Red/White because it was my original choice. I wasn't happy with the 'sneaky' Red colour switch that Ford made, SVT Red for Torch Red, but with the help of the Spy Shots I was satisfied that with the addition of White Striping the Torch Red miraculously looks.... well... Red!! Those stripes do Wonders for the colour. So you can say that in the end the white striping sealed my decision. If I were to have ordered a convertible, which doesn't come with the centre stripes, I would have gone with another colour. Ebony, just gorgeous with a well applied premium polish. Original 'Model A' Black Polished Deep, WoW!! However, I've had quite a few Black vehicles, including a 95' 5 Speed T Bird SC and I was forever wet sanding/buffing slight scratches and swirls out of the Clearcoat. Yes I'm anal! If you have to go Black I'd go White Stripes. Black cars don't always stand out in a crowd. Those White Stripes say "Hey look over here"! You can't miss them. Good Luck!!

SVTpower Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Well, it's 12:30 in the a.m............I decided. Ebony/Tungsten!!!! It's a weekend toy so what the hay................I enjoy waxing anyways and detailing everything I own. (My team at work call me the Waxman) 07 Shelby - completely agree with you on the red. As you know, red from concept was what I really loved but you're right, the white stripes bring it this Torch/Colorado red out somehow. It's a good choice too!! So that's it, done. Ebony/Tungsten stripes, full Black/Charcoal interior. My buddy ordered his Thursday night..........stuck with his first choice. Perf. White/Vista Blue stripes. Good night all !!

Since everyone on I-5 drove 15-30mph over the limit she would just pick a color. I'm glad I don't live there anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
