The old looking 7 vs the new looking 7.

This is a poll of which 7 you like better? I have given us some time to adjust to the new 7.

I have got to put my vote in for the old 7, love it. I've given the new one some time to grow on me and I'm just not getting it. I don't see it as tieing into the Speed marketing, I just think it's ugly.

That being said, we've seen 4 (not counting Fast Five) liveries on the car so far this season. Anyone want to weigh in on whether they like Orange, Yellow, Pink, or Black.

Personally, I think they all look great but if he could race in only one config I really like the pink car. Not because I'm a fan of neon pink by the way but frankly the orange car looks like the 20, the yellow car looks like the 27, and the balck car looks like the 78. When they do an overhead shot or a shot looking down the straight it's tough to pick out where we are sometimes. With the pink rig though, man that's never a problem. Easy as hell to spot.

Opinions?

I like the Orange, mainly cause he runs that color on his Off-Road Trucks..what is missing is a design patten were he can mix the 2 colors together like Black & Orange...Black & Yellow since the cans of Speed are Black with Colored Logos. I know the Black Car was all Black, but make it more of a 2-Tone Paint...that would be sweet.

I'll stick with the orange paint with black logo it just looks sooo cool
One thing I would change is maybe a black accent on the splitter and spoiler that
way you could distinguish the 7 from the 20 from far away

Kinda like the Warner Bros. Car. ...car was not solid. Put RobbyGordon Off-Road & his SpeedEnergy Store when the space is available. Web-sites, etc.

OG Ultra Motorsports 7, matches the SPEED lettering just fine. It's bold & clean like the rest of RG's cars. The new 7 (while I fully get that it matches the SPEED S style) just doesn't fit . Maybe if the cars were black with the SPEED S & 7 matching in Fuel, Octane, or Unleaded color. Or....try the big SPEED S's in white with black shadow to match the current 7

NASCAR to Robby: here's a can of Rust-O-leum and a 3 inch brush paint a 7 on your car. Old style please.
P.S. would like to see the actual color that's on the can instead of the pink, just for a look.

I prefer the old 7 and the orange paint. Very clean and very easy to see.

Agreed, see how the block letters flow right into the 7? Thats whats missing with the new 7, it sticks out like bird shit ....& nobody likes bird shit on thier car. Continuity is whats missing. Color the 7 like the S it's syled after, or vice versa.
