Nothing beats a good, clean black car. If another color was better, why would Henry Ford say "they can have it any color they want as long as it's black?" It's classic, it's timeless.

i got to test drive a black/black. it looked soo good it had me hanging between black/black and black/red....but i went with the black/red. sonic blue is an awesome color IMO. but black is too. the car looks amazing either way

Rags, glad to hear you decided to join the Black/Red contingent. Any updates on delivery for you?

I spent alot of time debating black and blue. The black is impossible to keep clean, and the blue looks purple. I hate dirty cars, and can't imagine driving a purple one. But when I walk all around a SB Mustang, I don't see the purple. My wife and daughter say, "Look there, it's purple on the fender. It's purple on the trunk lid." I just can't see the purple, but I do see the dust on black. I ordered Sonic Blue.

I think you should have stuck with the Sonic Blue, but like Holdera, I may be biased.

Sharp ride, chevy_slayer!

I don't think a Ranger does the Sonic Blue justice. The '05 GT is another story. Very nice, IMO.

Mine's Satin Silver on Red, but SB was my second choice. Black is always a good choice, but my '04 F-150 is black and I needed something of a different color in my driveway.

Ordered Sonic Blue here. Only time SB looks real purple to me is when it is very dirty on an overcast day. Dark purple/blue at night and beautiful blue in the sun. It is a great color!!!!!

I almost got SB, specifically because it looks purple in some light. The problem is, its not purple enough. So, I went with my second choice, for a couple reasons:

First and foremost, because when I get it custom painted, they told me it would be easiest to start with a black car.

Secondly, because until I can afford the paint job, black on black was the only color I could be happy driving. Yeh, its a pain to keep clean. But, you cant beat the look of a newly washed and waxed black beauty.

Oh, and I am getting mine painted purple. I have wanted a purple Mustang since I was about 9 years old. This is the perfect year to do it.

Cool car, Scott. Exactly the same as mine, except for the tint. One thing, though, with a driveway like that, don't you get a lot of gravel stuck in the tread of the tires? I get some and we don't even have a gravel drive.

They are both beautiful colors, just as much dirt on one as the other

Don't stress.

Once it's there, and they put the keys in your hand, you'll have your answer. I suspect you'll like. It's a Mustang, and it will be all yours.

It's all personal preference, but I can't think of too many combinations that wouldn't work for somebody!

I'm not even sure how many I considered, and I ended up nowhere near where I started.

Enjoy!

Windveil blue with a black interior would have been good. Sonic blue is to purple. Wonder why Ford did not call it Mystifying Purple or something like that.

I owned an Audi S4 that was black and I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER BLACK CAR! Constantly dirty, swirl marks all over the paint that are seen from all angles. Paint protection when installed on a black car is very noticable. Black cars are GREAT in the showroom but a nightmare in the real world. Its a shame because they look great when new but every chip and swirl mark is noticable with black paint. Just my experience guys hope you have better luck with black car than I did!!
