Yeah, but it makes it easier to identify on the track. Go to a NASA or SCCA weekend and see which cars you can follow out there -- the garish, butt ugly ones. The cool paint jobs are lost in the mix.

Uhh, yes. Yes. And fugly as well.
Actually, this gives a great chance to study the paint design scheme as well. First, I think most everyone would agree that the wheels are an okay design, nothing special, but the red paint is hideous. Next, are the red mirror tops, they appear totally superfluous. They don't contrast or tie things together. From the photo angle, the red roof isn't as overpowering but from a bit higher angle, say, the angle a group of Brazilian supermodel umbrella girls would observe it from pit row, its easy to see how a guy would go home alone even after setting the top time for the day.
The red C stripe isn't so bad with the black, nice contrast and most agree a little red is sexy (!). The red wing comes across as more of a highlight, to point out the difference between a Boss and the LS. The red grille is actually pretty cool to me, a nice touch if the rest wasn't so over the top. Which brings to a point the design in total. All of the red pieces individually would work quite well on a black or even the silver LS, in my opinion. But, taken all together, as we, the consumer, are forced to do, is too much and overpowers a classic, even iconic, design and car.

I'd take it!
And buy black or chrome rims, black mirror covers & then in giant white w/ blk trim paint my number on the roof and then sign my nickname in white like they do on NASCARS. Now we're talkin!
