Never been much on Orange, so I have to say Alloy. I think it looks much better than I had anticipated.

I think Ford dropped the ball on the orange.. I know Grabber is a classic, and it has it's historical significance, but... I think it looked much much better on the '70 Boss... I would have liked the orange much better if it had a heavy metal flake in it... perhaps a little darker.. lookin' something like the orange 350Z or the Daytona Charger.. If they wanted to be a little lighter.. then they should have gone a little closer to the original shade.... but make it heavy metallic... I think that better suits cars today.

Don't get me wrong... I wouldn't kick it outta bed for leakin' oil.... I'm just sayin'....

Personally, I prefer the Alloy, even though I know you really like your GO, Pitpup.

For me, I just like the darker colors for cars. Perhaps it's just a misplaced hope that the police won't hone in on a darker Mustang than a flashier finish like GO, Torch Red, or Screaming Yellow. To top that off, my wife said that while the color choice will be mine, she didn't like black, white, Legend Lime or Grabber Orange, so that's a subtle hint, I suppose.

Knock on wood, but no tickets since 1990. Of course, no Mustang yet either...

The "ONLY" bummer about Alloy is keeping it clean. If i were 30 years younger i would be all over it, thats why i bought silver.

Do you mean, like a burnt Orange? If so, I agree
