Yeah I agree black looks best when its clean... but it doesn't sound like it ever will be. Silver isn't usually my first choice either, buts its all that was left. I don't mind it, and it does hands down look the cleanest when its dirty. Also, any minor scratches come out real easy with cleaner wax. If I could have picked any color, it probably would have been dark red or dark blue.

I ordered mine black, only because it has a spot in the garage and isnt a daily driver.

If that wasn't the case, I'd opt for silver or white.

Go with silver so there are fewer Grabber Blue cars out there!

My GT is Candy Red Metallic w/tinted overcoat. It is hard to keep clean. Water spots are terrible. If I had a do-over I would have bought the white one!

Have you actually seen the performance white color in person?
How does it look like? better than the Ingot Silver Metallic?
Will white get as dirty as the BLACK as some posts suggested?
Thanks buddy,
Be safe.

White vehicles are among the easiest to keep clean and show imperfections less than any other color. The white GT I considered looked great but I was seduced by the red. You can put any color stripes on a white car, except white, and it will look good. White cars tend to stay cooler as they reflect heat/sunlight instead of absorbing it. Any color interior also works with a white car.

I have Grabber Blue and it stays looking clean between washes. I also have a Dark Titanium Charger, something like Sterling Gray. I can wash both cars at the same time and the Charger looks dirty in a couple days.
