After seeing what happened to Vista_Blue_GT,

Maybe Grabber Orange would be more visible to the dolts out there on the road? I always think if anybody hits my Screaming Yellow GT the first thing I'll ask is "What do you mean you could see me???" GO is equally eyecatching.
Only downside is that little flying bugs are attracted to these bright colors, which means when washing and drying your car you have to blow then off before wiping your car! But they keep landing on it! Bees too!
Plus it needs to be cleaned with detailing clay at least 2-3 times a year, as the little specks in the clear coat il show up easier.

you'll always look back with regret, no
matter which one you choose. it's too bad
you don't like one over the other, that would
make the decision much easier for you
with me there was absolutely no doubt as to
which color was coming home to the stable...
good luck and i hope you can be happy with
either the GO or the Blue

I prefer the VB as I indicated. The orange looks solid but it is actually a very very fine metallic and Ford advertises it as such. You'd never know unless you looked really really close. Could have been a nice color. ..just a miss by Ford IMO.

RE: Can't make up my mind, Grabber Orange or Vista Blue
I've always liked blue on cars and trucks...the only thing that has kept me from getting one is thatblue seems to show all the minor scratches in the paint more. There were a couple of VB stangs at the last meet I attended, and you could see some hair line scratches in the paint., most likely from washing or dry wiping the car down. I'm approaching the middle age era (41..damn) and I went with the orange. Its not my daily driver tho, but that car gets attention every place I go. Its not a color for everyone,and not everybody likes it, butthe best part is that you don't see many of them driving around. Iget asked frequently from those who don't know about Mustangs if I had it custom painted...makes the car even more fun toown. Either way, you'll really like whatever color you choose, imo they are both great colors.

I was heartbroken when Ford discontinued the Sonic Blue. I wanted one from the day I saw it. I think the Vista looks like a Sonic car that is dirty. I really like the Grabber Orange.

Grabber orange stock is boring, but as soon as you put on some rims and stripes, it's a different anima. Blue looks good no matter what you do to it....

IMO, Grabber Orange does not look good unless it is squeaky clean. Add some stripes and it looks better!
My vote goes for VB.....but that should be no surprise.
