Hi Matteo
I think the orange from the Mirage GT will be the best. An also nice colour would be the original from Porsche exclusiv department called pearlorange or orangenperlenrot a mix between orange and red...
If you wanna go for matt than enjoy the pics from the link above its mainly for ferraris but maybe you get an idea what could be possible in combination with stripes (look under Black Miracle)

the most difficult think would be to replicate the special pearl color effect on the vinyl.

I checked the Black Miracle..... Stunning!

BRG, the RIGHT British Racing Green (though probably unlucky:lol) would be really cold as ice!

Here are some more pics of the Matte Black GT I found...personally i think it looks great but the wheels need matte centers with a silver lip...just my opinion.

Well the next car I am going to buy is a Ford GT. For me the problem is choosing a color.
I already have a Red Final Edition Viper (white racing stripes). Then a Vista Blue GT500, which I am going to have white racing stripes painted on (option was to get vinyl stripes which is a terrbile option). I kind of had a Dodge red (Dodge's advertizing color), and Ford Blue (Blue Oval) thing.
I really like Red, and I really like the Midnight Blue. Black is an option but I am not so sure about grey racing stripes (why did they not have white racing stripes????) Wife doesn't like Yellow, although I do.
Silver and Grey I definately ruled out as Jerry's Saleen S7 is Silver and well I don't want to go there with that. Plus I always looked at Silver and Grey as Luxury vehicle's rather than super cars. Mercedes looks good in Silver etc!
I haven't ruled out white with the Blue Racing stipes either. Hopefully BJ motors will have a large selection this April for me to look at.
Although, I won't be buying one until the market changes. It is too good of an opportunity to invest right now. Once the market goes up then stock's won't be very appealing, but another car in the stable will :)

I have only seen one Ford GT in Western New York and it was only for a few seconds as it was going the other direction from me on the road. It was red with white stripes.

I have to actually see them in person and maybe a two or three next to each other so I can compare which color really looks best on the car (IMO).

Each color is unique and special.. it is weird but each color also makes the FGT look like a different car..

Yellow was my first choice and in person is absolutely awesome.. don't knock it until you've seen it... it is not a normal yellow :biggrin

with that being said... if you have a FE Viper you can't go wrong with a red and white stripe GT... would make an awesome pair!! :cheers

With that being said, I KNOW i will be slaughtered for saying this...

but I sure like the back end of our new GTs compared to the original :secret:

Camilo did a great job retaining the identity of the original, but improving its least attractive side.

I would be open to a wrap using the striping that Camillo did on the Rally III red car that Chris purchased. Would want the colors to accent my CF hood, wicker, scoops and mirrors currently on #1153.....

The thought has crossed my mind.... but, I think it would be to much,... although when you see the Alfa 8C in total CF your mind has to wander....

Until we share that MMM....
