Why do people assume red attracts cops? its the idiot driver that attracts cops to a red car.

I say IOM not white.

In my opinion there is only 1 choice.
The best of both worlds.

Three weeks ago I knew I wanted a white car. But after seeing the IOM at the dealership I knew IOM was the color I was going to get. During the day IOM changes colors from red to orange to a golden color! The orange color does NOT clash with the red tails, IMO! I would have been more than happy with either color but IOM was the one for me! Let us know what you decide!

White. Such a better platform to get creative with custom stripe packages, rims, and other exterior appearance items.

Hmmm.... What do YOU intend to do with your car..graphics and outward appearence? IOM will create some limitations, while white is pretty much open season!

We also had a delimma like that while trying to decide on a Camaro color..We were unloading a White Grand Prix GTP Supercharged and we liked white..but never saw a white camaro with stripes.. that looked pretty nice actually..very clean and it does show the lines...but we decided to go with Rally Yellow... We prob wud have got white and added Blue stripes, having seen the red stripes, and that is killer also, but Blue POPS on the White Camaro.. IOM was very well liked, but I worked for Home Depot at the time and well... wasn't gonna go there! We both like the IOM as well... Good Luck! But as much as we love ours, it could be Fuscia and we wud still drive it... (just late at night on back roads without streetlights!)

Post ur pics when ya get ur Permagrin!!

I was never a fan of white, but the Camaro looks amazing in that color because it shows off the body shape so well. Worried it might need a lot of cleaning though.
White is awesome. If you like the color, rock it. Stays cool, doesn't need cleaning. Great looking.

Wow! I spent about three seconds researching this "urban legand".

Drivers of red cars get more tickets.

So…According to data compiled by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, red cars do not get more speeding tickets than their less vivid counterparts. Nor are they more likely to be stolen. One would also assume that sports cars are more likely to be cited for speeding. That’s what sports cars are for, after all. Yet, the data tells a different story. According to a study by ISO Quality Planning, a risk assessment company, the following ten vehicles are the biggest cop magnets on the road. (I wonder where my crossfire would fall on this list?)

Orange is pretty awesome. I got an Internet price of just a hair over $30. I think it looks great. Worried about the red tail lights clashing a bit with the body color though.
I wonder if this helps you out... I am loving my IOM to be fair, looks awesome in the Texas sun all cleaned up!
