How did you find out about the Stealth/3000GT?

I hear people oohing and aahing or remarking about the car, but no one ever says anything to me.

I have had people tell me I look grumpy, though...:huh:

My first guess was going to be color (as opposed to location). The ratio of compliments I receive on my white Stealth vs my black one is about 3:1. I don't know if it's because I'm less approachable in black, or if the white just grabs the eye better. Would make for an interesting social experiment.

.. since i have owned the VR4 it gets ALOT of attention and looks everywhere it goes.. im not looking for that kind of attention but i do love it!

When I first got the car, I didn't mind the attention at all (especially from the ladies ;)), but these days, unless they're a true 3S fan, I'd prefer to be on my way as quick as possible. :p

my firestorm red NEVER gets looks or compliments, and shes in great condition. im guessing location.

Post photos of it online on off-site locations, state that it's Firestorm Red, & you'll keep getting told by people who don't even own the car that it's NOT Firestorm Red! That's attention, right? :suspect:

if someone gets regular compliments on their green 3/s...i guarantee it's a location thing.

I think it was a popular color in the 90s. most expensive cars came with similar color in that time frame.

You're probably right, I live in Cavalier/Grand Am country and almost everywhere I would go, if someone walked by my car they would always offer a compliment. Many times when I drove it to work, customers would walk over to it and do a little inspection, probably wondering what it was. I've had one person ask if it was a Ferrari :( Generally, I do not like compliments as they make me feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately I won't have to worry about it anymore. <happyface><sadface>

I wonder how many posts you've made expressing your opinion about colors.
