Default Do you prefer Red or White

What color looks best on the C4??? My current 89 is bright red and its a little faded. I want to update to a 92' up. Do you guys think that red looks the best??? Im have narrowed down my color choice to red or white. A lot of other sports cars look best in red. The red is an attention getter from the cops and black shows dirt. The white car seems like it would be easier to keep clean and it stays cool. If you had the choice would you pick RED or WHITE for all situations car shows, cruising, appearance, etc..........???

Personally, I would not own a car painted white... Guess that leaves more for everyone else.

FWIW, I thought I would never own a car w/ red guts however, my Ruby only came that way, so..... :cheers:

I also said I'd never buy a white car, but a good deal came along so I snatched it up. Its grown on me since I bought it and I actually kind of like the color now :crazy:

Red, but I must say I have seen some silver ones (very rare) and they look sweet.

Silver ones are rare?? :confused: :confused: They're all over the Northeast!

Red is my choice between red and white.

Since you seem to prefer low profile, low maintenance, go with white. You answered your own question. :cheers:


I like red or black, and that's all I've owned in cars or bikes...but I won't be driving YOUR car, so go with your gut feeling.

White is my choice. I too always said no more white rigs, but a great deal came along and here I am. I'm setting up for my dark pewter metalic paint job on the horizon. I think silver is the easiest to keep clean even though it is kind of a non color.

White looks best. White makes the red tail lenses stand out like rubies set in ivory :yesnod:

The 1st one in 1953 was white w/ red interior... hey, so is mine :)
