Default Color Choices ?

Hey guys Im looking to maybe buying a 1995-1996 Vette to replace my old one. I have narrowed my color choices down to 3 red, white, or black.
I like the torch red but it might be to flashy for the police and tickets.
The white looks clean looking but maybe not flashy enough.
The black looks good new but its hot in the summer and it shows dirt and scratches vey easily. If you were a young single guy which color would you pick all things considered. Thanks everyone....

IMHO i would go for red on red or white on red the red interior in a white car is awesome and goes nicely, my car is dk. red with graphite interior thats a good color as well (or you could always get a Ruby :D )
Really just boils down to what you like
Ben :cheers:

Black has got to be the best looking color when it is clean :yesnod:
However, it is very hard to keep clean.

I think white is kinda of a girlie color, but very easy to keep clean.

So if I were you I would go with red, easy to keep clean and looks good on a Vette.

I definitely think you should get either red or white.

(I really love black/black, but since I haven't bought mine yet I'm just trying to eliminate the competition.) :D

I think the key to the color choice of the '94-'96 Vettes is the Lt. Grey interior. It looks great with Torch Red, Black, White and even Admiral Blue. :)

Thanks guys, I guess it all comes down to condition more than color.
The guys with the black vettes, do you get a lot of swirl marks?
