From trying to chose a color on an 07 GT.

My 4 main choices are Black, White, Torch Red, and Vista Blue.

And I cant find any good pics of any of these colors on a GT with no spoiler and 17" bullitt's.

I'm biased, so if I told you, it wouldn't help!

Did you look in the timeline section of themustangsoure.com homepage. There are a lot of pictures in the 05 section. This would not include the vista blue color since that was introduced in 06. It's not that much different than the 05 sonic blue, but there should be some vista blue GT's in the 06 section. It's a hard decision that took me a long time to make [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img] . It's obvious what color I chose, but you will be happy with any color that you choose. Good luck!

Torch red with white stripes.
Performance white with blue stripes.
Vista blue rocks also, but so does black.

Dunno man, hard choice...[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Here, the back bumper is 3' from my desk, and I pick the showroom cars, so you can imagine my choice [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]



Then of course I go to lunch in this:



so maybe I'm a little biased... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img]

I've never been a fan of the shaker hood on the S197, but that strikes me different, in a good way [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img]

Ahh, I got my car from Ted Britt [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Me, I like blue. Mine is Sonic Blue, but Vista is pretty close to it.

Is there really any other color for a mustang convertible than red? There is a reason that many restorers paint old mustangs red. It's just the color for them...BUT,,,I think any of the colors you choose will look great. Imagine yourself in one of the colors. Would you be jealous or upset if you saw your neighbor get the other color? If so, maybe you need that color..... That's what's nice about this choice...You can't loose.
