I think White looks better blacked out, though I'd get the Dark Pearl Blue instead. White and Red are eeeveryweehre.

Tough choice.
Red makes you cop bait, but being from Alaska, I'm not real huge on white. That's personal pref though, as I already see enough white as it is several months out of the year. I hear it's a pretty color in hotter climates.

I'm not a fan of white. White trucks and cars make me think they're company fleet vehicles.

My real choices are Blue flame 1st (obviously), Candy Apple Red 2nd.

So my vote is for Red all the way.

It has nothing to do with car color, but the drivers. Flashy drivers that prefer red vehicles are more likely to speed. Basically people that like to drive fast are more likely to go with a red vehicle.

But there is more evidence that the kind of car you drive has way more effect on tickets than the color.

Huh... my wife comes from a family of cops, and they'd disagree with you. When picking one vehicle out of 4 lanes of speeders, they single out two characteristics more than any other:

1) Red vehicles
2) Out of state plates/rental cars

This is all things being equal, as of course they would bypass both of these for sports cars or anything that has been tricked out extensively like some of the trucks in this forum. Enjoy that coffee FX

Then you are also disagreeing with everything I could find on the net. There has never been any evidence that color affects the rate of getting pulled over. But congrats on knowing cops that pull people over for superficial reasons instead of how they drive.

Remember that white is a tough colour to take care of. You need to put a clay bar to it regularly to get rid of all the road debris that gets into the finish. My white Platinum has a ton of tiny flakes that are rusting especially on the tailgate. Luckily a little elbow grease takes care of it. I know this happens to all colours but white is the only one it so visible on.
But it does look hot when it's all cleaned up.
