My car is black with white stripes, black looks nice but 15 minutes after washing you can see pollen/dirt on it. Stay away from black.

You would probably get more responses if this was in the appearance or paint section rather than in the Gen3 Internal engine section. Just a thought.

I say black or red. I also say your in the wrong section. Exterior appearance and internal engine are kind of polar opposites.

Engine coolant green? Wait, GM's coolant is red...

No really, I think the newer Cyber Metallic Grey would look awesome...

I really like the new G8 GT cyber blue, and think it would look sick on a f-body. Thats what I am leaning towards with my car when it needs paint.
