Race Red vs Black

[SPARTAAA 117]

Pick one based purely on how it looks...I know black gets dirty really quick and red gets a lot of attention


EDIT: I'm so tired I left out Ruby Red...but thats the 3

RR...black is badass but it's a part time job of keeping it beautiful.

Ruby Red is one of the best colors Ford has ever made a vehicle in.

Race red for sure.

It's hard to say, I think with performance vehicles red is a bit cliched and overplayed, I mean it is my favorite color but for these types of cars it is too common IMO. Black as others have pointed out gives dirt and mud a dark contrast background to stand out on which is why it "looks" the dirtiest when not clean.

But that being said, to go back on red I think one thing a lot of car manufacturers as of late have been lacking on is colors outside of grey scale, that is anything that isn't black, grey, silver, or white. I've noticed certain segments these are the only colors available such as base trim levels on compact-sized cars and smaller or luxury vehicles. Thus, in a contemporary setting where only those types of colors are offered, something like red is different IMO when you look at it that way.

I do think there is a dearth of decent shades of greens from car manufacturers lately, especially something darker and not a controversial color like "Gotta Have it Green".

I saw a black 15 GT at Barrett Jackson and I have to say I did not like it. I dont know if it was the car or the color.... so jury is out for me.

It depends what you wear to work, red dress or black suit. Myself I wear blue so......

Race Red, DIB, or Competition Orange hands down. Don't know what the hype about Guard color is. It's another shade of grey. BFD.

Once you see it in person it is pretty cool.

At the car show, one side of the car was grey and the other side was noticeably more green due to the change in lighting.
