Hi,
I was wondering if people could help me with my color choice. I have narrowed it down to red/black and silver/black. I like the red because it is it makes me go WOW the most, but I question its long term appeal. As for the silver, it is classier, but sometimes it looks too plain for such an exotic car. The silver also looks kinda gray, but I have not been able to see one up close.
Any advice/opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've had red sports cars since 1986 and have yet to find my appeal for red lagging. I must admit silver looks nice, but I came upon a silver one on the freeway one day and thought to myself a S2000 should look more exotic when viewed from the back; red takes care of that, imo.

Get what you like best and you should see a silver up close before you decide; you might like silver better than red.

My first new car was a Red 1983 Mustang GT and I have owned 6 red cars in all. I never get tired of red. Red is the only TRUE sports car color. 50 MPH and standing still.

Silver is VERY hard to see on the road. Case in point I got hit TWICE in 3 weeks by idiots who simply said they didn't see me. The silver blends in with the road.

Red will not have this problem, but may attract the coppers more.
