I have been looking at the Sterling Gray GT and the dealer sold it the day before my appointment to go check it out. That sucked. Every local dealer I've been checking has either black GT or race red CS. The sterling gray would have to come from another state but they haven't been able to find one with the options I want. I like the race red CS, nice car. Black is a great color when it's clean, but it shows the dust and swirl marks and I am concerned I will go out of mind trying to keep it clean. Does anyone have any color advice?

 

Just my opinion coming from a guy with a black GT: Race Red CS all the way!

"Black: it's not just a color, it's a part time job!"

 

^ but there is nothing more beautiful than a clean black gt

 

Both 100% Correct...
...but choose Red. Black really does take a lot to keep from getting swirls.

 

Also coming from a black gt owner: get the red cs!!

Mostly because it's a cs though. I love the black on mine. Looks great clean, but as others have said, it's a pain to keep clean. During the pollen outbreak a month or two ago, it was impossible to get it all off

 

I always wanted Chrome Yellow or Screaming Yellow for my first Mustang, but when that wasn't available, I had to pick something else. Considering my last two cars were blue and both got totaled (neither my fault), I wasn't going blue again. White and Silver are too common and Black too much work, which left me with Red. I always felt like red was so common with Mustangs but, 2.5 years in, that's totally not true, at least around here. Even when I go to our KC Mustang Club cruises with 100+ cars, I still feel like mine stands out pretty well. Go with Race Red!

 

Get race red. I'm biased obviously but I bought mine used and didn't want race red at first but the deal was something I couldn't pass up. This color has grown on me and I absolutely love it. It hides any swirl marks pretty well and dirt and dust pretty well too. Go with race red. It's flashy and stands out and definitely gets everyone's attention...in a good way.

 

The real question is what are the options on the Two????

 

If you want the faster car get black.

 

Get the red...if you really want less work get silver....I'll never do black again....

 

GTCS IMO. Depending on the interior.

 

I would probably do neither since neither are what you really want.

First I would decide if you want a GT or a CS. Personally I find the CS to be kind of tacky with all the tacked on appearance stuff and a perennial blow job to California like everything else. Then add the front that looks too much like a V6, and the no Brembo option, and it's game over for the CS for me. I'd go GT, since it doesn't have any stick on stuff (unless you want it), you can get Brembos, and you can spot a GT a mile away with the sweet fogs in the grille…no mistaking that for a V6.

Then, I'd hold out for gray if that's the color you want.

 

I'd go GTCS. They are more unique and don't boast the huge fog lights on the grille. The wheels are great also.Regular GTs are great as well but there's plenty of them on the road.

Dont let brakes deter you, you can always add those later...And you get to pick the brand!

Also the fact that people mistake it for a V6 is somewhat cool...

I remember the time my uncle grabbed a rattlesnake thinking it was a milk snake. Lol

 

If I had a CS those wheels would be the first thing to go.

 

11-12 are better wheels IMO

 

My 01 was black.....my 09 was black....but my 13 is race red. That having been said, black is beautiful when clean and I was once told "black is the most beautiful color on a car, as long as you aren't the one keeping it clean"...I would have to agree...the red isn't as common, at least around here so I'm glad I went that route.

 

Traded in my '02 Black GT for a '14 Black GT today. You know what my vote is.

 

RR...but I am biased!

 

No your not. But you are right. Race red is the fastest color. Race is in the name.

 

your right about that..

looks really good for about 20min after you wash it.
