Help me pick a new color Before you just start throwing out ideas, let me share a little bit of history:
Here is my competition white drag radial firebird formula:
But an unfortunate run in with the wall in April this year changed all of that:
I had severe structural damage so the only feasible thing I could do short of totaling the car was to cut the back half of the car off and replace all the structural elements of the car. At this point I decided to just go with an Outlaw 10.5 chassis since the factory frame rails were ruined beyond repair. This is the result:
So as not to delay things we threw it up in prime so we could get back to the track:
All is good and we head out to test in September. Many compliments about the black or murdered look but remember this is just primer. First time out we set the world record for an LS to the 1/8 on a 10.5 tire:

But unfortunately my good fortune was short lived. Yet again I was met with a run into the wall. My chute failed to deploy properly and caught my wheelie bars throwing me into an uncontrollable slide at around 200mph.
Sooo, what does a guy do? Fix it again but this this time it will be re-born a Firehawk!
Now that you have the brief history, white was just not the color meant for me and flat black is waaaaay over done. What color is best suited for what I hope to be the fastest LS ANYTHING in the world! Examples or Photoshop is welcome.
Thanks!!

Synergy Green or something in that area of green. Or hot pink, no ****. If I had a drag car I was going to be attempting to set records with, I'd rock the hell out of hot pink! Then people talking, "holy **** Jeff, you see that badass hot pink T/A setting world records and ****? Cars badass......BADASS!!!!! CAN'T **** WITH THE HOT PINK BITCHES!!!!!"
At least that's how it goes in my mind.

Hues of Blue and Orange are so far the biggest suggestions from multiple boards and locations... I had a metallic matte silver as the base in mind originally. I will definitely have a partial wrap of some sort from Greg at Sticker Dude. I love to read all the comments! From a photographers perspective (Sean here and a couple on another site) it seems they like to shoot Orange and Blue hues which match's the majority of suggestions but Black is a real strong 3rd. I will see how the suggestions continue to roll out and then I will pick the top 3 suggestions and maybe do a poll with those colors for fun.
Thanks for all the great ideas!!

As someone that frequently uses the hot mop, Please no Black :-)
I like your matte silver with a wrap, I really liked the original flame wrap that you had when it was white
