Default Which looks better...Jet Black or Fire Red?

I am planning on buying a 2007 or 2008 Mustang GT500 and I need to know if Jet Black with leather interior is better than Fire Red with Black leather interior is better or the other way around or even mixed...It is a tough decision for me...

Decisions, decisions... you honestly can't decide between the two? I knew what color I was getting before I went to the dealers... so I can't understand the dilemma LOL

Think about what colors you like best...
I'd personally go for the red... orrrrr black with red stripes... hot hot hot...

It's really a personal decision... good luck!

Black will look the best but it is a car that needs lots of TLC so if you want black this is what you have to do to keep it sharp. Must wash once a week maybe twice hand wash two bucket method only no car wash spend about a hour each wash and follow with a detail spray careful were you park cuz a ding will show up for miles be very care how you wash, black will swirl very easy needs to be waxed offen so if you don't have the time to put that much work in it redfire now candyapple maybe the color for you I now have redfire my last car was a 2000 black mustang boy did it look great when shined but one tuff color to keep looking good both were not dd

I would choose black,even though it takes more time to keep looking good,nothing like a shiny black Stang.

i like the red also. not because its my favorite color but because i think that black on all cars hides the lines and flow of the car. all thought with not being able to see the flow and lines of the car cops might have trouble knowing what car it is. provied you dont have cobra on the back bumper in white

Had a black car once. It looked real good when clean but by the end of the day it showed every speck of dirt I picked up. Now have a torch red which is a lot easer to keep clean.
