Let's say (hypothetically speaking) you won a raffle or a sweepstakes contest and the prize was one of these two mustangs. Now, you can only choose one of these two cars as your prize claim, which one would you choose ?

Here are the pics.

Door #1 - Peter's car, white with blue stripes .. Scroll down to see all pics.

Or


Door #2 . The red with white stripes at the LA Auto show . scroll down to see the many pics of different angles.

http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=13000

Now, just imagine Peter's white car with the exact same kit that's on the red car, so Peter's car would come with the same kit ( rims are your choice as well, I just want opinion of the color combo with the kit) . I am trying to balance the choice out as best as possible so no one can say "oh ,I'd rather have Peter's car because of the rims, or someone say- "I'd rather have the red car because of the kit package.. They both would come with the kit and same rims.. So Go by that criteria.

I am just curious to see the response and votes.. I have 3 friends who say the red looks better by far and another 3 who say the white by far.. You guys are the tie-breaker here and deciding factor

Thanks all

Hate to admit it, but the white/blue does look better.

Without a doubt red and white for me. I love everything about that car except I would leave the fogs where they were. Maybe remove the spoiler too.

Wish I could help you decide... can't go wrong with either. Love the white w/ blue. Would probably get that myself if they had a blue interior to match it with... since they don't I was thinking white with red int and red stripes, but that torch red with white stripes completely threw me back up in the air. Now its white with red stripes, or torch with white stripes, or black with red stripes (all w/ red int).

Yeah, my post was just answering his question. We all know that black w/ silver looks the best. You do have the best stripes on this site. They're perfect.

The upkeep on the white/blue (try and keep that car looking like the pics!) pushes my vote to the Red/White.

The score is tied 4-4 late in the second period with Team White on the powerplay

Who's going to win ?

Yep, I understand.. all of Canada is depressed because of no NHL..

With that said, Team Red comes out firing in the first minute of the 3rd taking a 5-4 lead. They must have had a pep talk during the 2nd intermission . LOL

I'm a traditionalist so I have to go with the white with blue. That 5.0 cammer GT (white with blue stripes) is my desktop at home and at work.


"The upkeep on the white/blue (try and keep that car looking like the pics!) pushes my vote to the Red/White"

Why is the upkeep on white with blue stripes more difficult?

I vote for White with Blue stripes.

I also like the white one with the single blue stripe, but can't find the link anymore.

I like the white with the red stripes better than the red with white stripes, but to tell the truth, they all look pretty good.
