I can't decide which color to order!
Okay, i'm getting ready to order a GT/CS next week and deciding on which color is driving me CRAZY!!
As it stands right now, i'm going for the Candy Apple Red. I've seen it in person at the dealer, dirty, but i've seen it. Everyones pics here make it look MUCH nicer than on the dealers lot.
The problem is that I really like the GT/CS in white. The bigger problem is I don't like a white car! ARRGH!! My very first car was white (28 years ago - 1979 Mercury Bobcat) {okay, stop laffing!} was white and never had another one.
I realize that asking for peoples opinions on these 2 colors is only going to confuse me more, but maybe it will to help hear the pros and cons of each. Maybe someone has a red and wish they got white, or has white and wishes they got red.
Anyway, i'd love to hear the good and/or bad of each color before I head out and place my order.
I'm listening!

I'm in the same boat! Looking at a GT/CS in the next couple of months.
Candy Apple Red is one of my options, and I do like the white as well. My poor GT (now totalled) was black, and looked bad a** but was a pain to keep clean. The Vista Blue is nice also but I have two buddies who already have that color and I like to be different...argghh!!!

I've never had so much trouble deciding on a color. The one I really want is Redfire, but i'm a year too late! I agree about the dirt on white. Thats one of the main reasons for staying away from it, but the black C/S stripe and a shaker on it looks oh so good!
If you wanted Redfire, go with the red... I wouldn't say they're too terribly different... but white is definitely not Redfire.

The Candy Apple is what i'm leaning towards. I'm going out to the dealer today and get the payments worked out and check out the colors one more time in person.
Alloy was my original choice. A guy that comes into my local pizza joint has one and I liked it. Since I discovered the GT/CS, that's another color that went out the window!

I think Candy Apple is the way to go.
Metallic paint looks good on a muscle car.
White might be good if you are going to drive it in winter.
The salt shows up quicker on the dark colors.

Vista Blue with parchment interior all the way. Its retro yet stylish and modern at the same time. Candy Apple was my second favorite choice, but everyone has a red Mustang..........good luck!

In the original post he had narrowed it down to 2 colors, red or white.
Don't make it even harder for him.

I love the white CS too. White was my second choice. Vista is a great color, but I was getting rid of a blue Expedition and didn't want another blue vehicle. I get a lot of "nice car" comments and they are almost always followed by "I love that color". As much as I love the look of the white CS, I don't think you will hear many comments about the color. I say go with your instinct.....red.

Your going to have to get out and find each car in the available colors, give`em a good look so you can make the decision on what affected you the most. When you see the right color your heart is going to jump.
I saw a dark candy apple red GT the other day and immediately went gaa gaa.
