red, you already know my opinion on this.

As long as it's 2 liters worth of 9000RPM fun, I know you'll be hammering it around the track!

Oh, and Douglas, Holy shiitake!!! What is that, like, 4000 coats of polish/wax?? (seriously, WOW)

Dougla, that's gorgeous.

When I did a walk-around of my black S for the first time last weekend, all I noticed was a few rock chips; nothing that couldn't be touched up. It had been sitting out in the used car lot for a while, I imagine, and had a good cover of dust.

It wasn't until I washed it today that I saw the ugly swirls and more nicks and scratches than I'd like.

It's going to take a LOT of work to get a finish that I'm happy with.

Jason

Yes, I'd go for black again. However, I'd put red leather in it. I've pretty much done that now, w/ Ricks stuff.

Pixsurguy, ditto.

The red interior looks sweet on every exterior color I've seen.

Black with red interior is definitely the fastest color....I thought this was common knowledge.

I would definitely pick another black one. The only other colour I considered was white, but it was not available in Canada so my choice was really easy .

Here are a couple of more pics to help persuade you to the dark side . Click for full res!

I had a 2000 nighthawk black pearl before my sebring silver S. While black is beautiful when it's clean, its horrible when it's dirty and unless you just washed it 5 minutes ago its dirty pal. I would definately not trade back colors. Well, maybe if I still had a garage...
