Silver is good.

But black with the polished wheels and the big red calipers is insanely hot.

They don’t make then in white do they?

hmmm.

that 5th gear thing is very interesting… you could drive it like an automatic in stop n go traffic 🙂

no white, but i imagine that will change next year, or the year after that.

I guess there is a big demand for white and gunmetal :gotme:

just black, lemans blue, velocity yellow, victory red, and machine silver.

my favorite was black, with red coming in at a close second.

I don’t think they said anything about it being too big. I’ll have to watch again.

:drool: gunmetal would look so good on that car. Something like DSG (dark shadow gray) on the 03-04 Cobras.

Yeap, and I dont think it makes much sense. The car doesnt seem any wider than most, and if it is, it probably has something to do with why he hit a 1.2 on his G meter on that turn.

Racing the burning gas was a pimp move though

I have to watch the vid again. I’m pretty sure that speedo went way higher than a typical mph one.

He’s right Brits use MPH for measuring speed.
