I've always liked black, but I really like the dark blue metallic for the Firebirds.

Whoa, I thought silver would be less prefferd because most cars on the road that I see are silver, and I tought Burgundy would get a higher rating. But still too little votes decide. The reason I didn't put SOM is because too little cars were made in that color and it would be very hard to find one, but if the opprtuniy came, thats a different story.

i vote NBM for obvious reasons... i bought my car not even caring what color it was, just happened to be a NBM one i found, and im lucky i ended up with it... i love it, all i see around town are silver/white ones, RARELY do i ever see another NBM t/a, the only other blue ones around me are firebirds driven by old people lol. i always get compliments on it, and i just claybar'd/polished/waxed it this weekend, and it looks freakin amazing in the sun, its awesome.

NBM also goes great with my leather/suede interior that came with it, i thought it came like that from the factory but just found out it was custom made

I'm partial to black on a Trans-Am.

Both my T/A's are black, I'd like to have a NBM WS6 though.

Honestly, I'd take any color if the price was right, you can do nice themes with any color as your starting point.

Everybody and their mothers have black/silver/red.

Personally, my 2 favorite colors (on all f-bodys) are SOM and pewter. My car is pewter, but I only settled on it when I couldn't find a SOM one at a price I could afford at the time.

I never saw a black T/A in my town, then i bought mine and they seemed to come out of the woodwork. If you wanna be unique go with MRM. A beautiful color. Some my think its not a muscle car color but with some appearance mods it s the shiznit

Silver is alot more user friendly and stays looking good longer than any other color. I always liked my silver car... never saw any swirls on it .....

but if you are a detailing freak with a PC though, nothing looks better than red or black to me.

i'd say that metallic purple color as for being unique, but best overall is black.

there's too many of us black T/A's tho.

Sorry I should have clarified that, I meant all other cars. At work theres a silver BMW, mazda, silverado, neon, civic, mitsubishi, prelude, expedition, camaro, and a tacoma. Almost half the workers cars. Plus on the street, most cars that I see are silver.
I shouldn't judge it until I see it, ganna check it out today.

I had a black 99 and traded it for pewter. Classy looking color imho and you can let it go for a while without noticing dirt.

Well, I think a Burgundy (MRM) sports car is awesome. My choices are MRM, SOM, then Silver.

Silver is the way to go. I had a black mustang and it showed everything, and I mean everything.
