Help me decide between Velocity Blue and Performance Blue

[DrumReaper]

Seriously?

It’s pretty difficult to try and pick a color. I mean unless you have all options in the sun light before your very eyes, I don’t know how you’d choose unless you’re close minded on a particular color.
My decision is more about dirt maintenance than just about anything else.
My first choice out of the box was white, then I saw the PB with white stripes, Then I saw rapid red tinted CC, then I saw magnetic grey, then I saw race red.....The struggle is real in my first world country.

Kona blue, what?

When I ordered my 16R I went through Avalanche, Race Red and then settled on Magnetic with OTS and black roof.

I just changed this go-round from Iconic to Lime and now Velocity... wife likes the velocity immensely and I do too so since she’s being a great alliance in this procurement I want her to have a say-so as well, so VB it is.

Ended up with PB back in November. I’m considering a VB GTPP2 as a daily now. I love both blues

I was on my to the dealer to order a Red Candy Metallic 2012 RS3 Roush and I noticed a Kona Blue Mustang parked in the sun and I changed my mind while driving to the dealer! I’m very happy with my Kona Blue decision. 2017 Ford came out with Ruby Red GT350 and I said if I ever get another Mustang it will be a Ruby Red GT350. I liked the car and color so much I drove all the way to the dealer without changing my mind! Color choice is never easy but in my case after seeing Ruby Red it was easy. That being said “IF” I’m lucky enough to ever add another Mustang to my garage choosing a color will be very difficult! The two blues the OP is trying to decide on isn’t easy. I think I might go with Performance Blue only because you can’t get it on a GT and it’s available on the GT350.

I live in a desert climate, hot and very dusty.
How’s the VB with showing dirt?

I just wish ford would bring back Lightning Blue. Its the best blue ;) But I vote velocity

Thank you. Here you go. Some pictures on a cloudy day to compare how this color changes in the sun.

I am glad someone gave a shout out to Kona Blue!!

Perf blue w/ black roof and white stripes. I may be a little bias. Love the color combo on an R and the fact FPB can only be had on FP cars/trucks. The black roof goes so well with the R’s wing and wheels that the white stripes just finishes it off with perfection.

Any pics? I had never seen a black roof with the PB car with white stripes. Love to see it!!!

When I was shopping, I was stuck in a rut. I just could NOT choose a color. MANY HOURS.

I love them all....Ruby Red, Black, Magnetic, etc. But in my mind ( and this is just me!, not saying any of it is fact), when I thought of classic Shelby's I mostly thought of white cars, then followed by blue. I asked my wife over and over what she thought, and she said she didn't want any part of choosing it, other then "I like the color of whatever one costs the least" (LOL)

In the end, I would of got the Kona but picked the Performance Blue since you won't see it on the non-Shelby Mustangs, When I got it home, she LOVED the color, and said it was "an exceptional' color to her

Happy wife, Happy Life

I have had quite a few people tell me it reminds them of the original shelby's in blue / white stripes.
We were not sure of the color as we didnt get to see it until it arrived at the dealer and we loved it.

...and riding the "which blue" tiger ....what about rim color with either of these blue? Obviously black..... but bronze rims? Gun metal?

Once you pick your blue, now on to the next choice for those getting a more "street" tire then the Cup 2 and thinking easiest to just keep a 2nd set of rims

What color rims ???

I’m going Signature Wheels in gunmetal in the VB. I haven’t decided on the wheel design yet.

I went FORGELINE. Since they are one of the few brands made in the USA, they will refinish and change colors for you anytime, and at a very reasonable cost. I emailed they they called me in under 10 minutes. Pretty impressive customer service. Just barely over 20 pounds
