I would get red too if it was an option. I guess I could add red as custom stripes if I wanted later.
Red looks very nice with the white. I totally agree with that. I was bummed when they did'nt have red stripes as an option.
I really dont like the over the top stripes on the black but I do like black with just the side stripes. My family member has the car ordered in white with blue stripes. He said if I wanted to change it though I needed to do it soon before it is locked in.
I REALLY wish the white came with black interior. The charcoal isnt that bad but it is a tad light for my taste. I love the black and red interior but I believe you can only get charcoal with the white. (im going to double check).
Anyways, thanks for the input

As I stated earlier. White. Especially knowing it is ordered with blue stripes. Then take it somewhere and have them duplicate the interior, but in blue, and get white bullit wheels. Store the seat covers and wheels for when you want to resell it as a stock unit someday.

I would think since you're located in TX white would make a lot more sense to keep cool. Whatever color stripes come on it doesn't really matter. My understanding is they are not painted, just vinyl so it's not like you couldn't change them for cheap money. I got mine for around $100 from Baltimore Street Mods. Long term I'd want whatever color stripes painted on anyway.

White with blue stripes or blue with white stripes are always two good mustang choices. Dark colors are more slimming.
Tungsten might look nice but
I am not really a fan of black unless it is perfectly clean and swirl free. Which is hard to do on a driver. But if it is going to be a garage queen, go for it.

Here's a simple answer to your simple question.
Get the White w/Blue.
It will look better over the long haul, white is easier to keep up, and it's cooler in the Texas weather.
There ya go.
Black is a bitch to keep up!!!

I have to agree with the white with blue stripes. I was thiiiiiiis close to getting a white GT and doing that stripe scheme. Its classic and it will be much cooler in the summer (and this is coming from someone who lives next door.......so I know how the heat can get). On black I tend to prefer white stripes.....but thats just my preference. I'm not feeling the Tungsten stripes on the GT500 body too much.

I am just going to say this, I dont think you can get a Shelby anytime soon for MSRP and choose the color no matter what "Family Hookup" you have. Didnt you know the shelby was coming out prior to purchasing your GT?
