If you have a garage to keep it in go black.
if its outside white. --- Plus I love the black wheels on the PPW Z's Very clean look.
I have black - love it but it is a whole lotta work keeping it clean - FL car rains everyday in the summer

white! but I don't agree with the standing out at night thing..
have you ever seen a clean black car that's waxed and polished at night cruisin by some dim streetlights? I'll tell you there's no other color that looks that sick in those conditions
I still like white though haha

Outside of appearance, there may be another consideration for your choice of color.
If you plan to drive faster than the limit, and the law in your area use laser instead of radar guns to catch speeders, black is supposedly the way to go.
A laser speed detector gun or LIDAR, measures the round-trip time for light to reach a car and reflect back. A laser speed gun shoots a very short burst of infrared laser light and then waits for it to reflect off the vehicle. The gun counts the number of nanoseconds it takes for the round trip, and by dividing by 2 it can calculate the distance to the car and thus give the speed it is traveling.
The theory is, if a car is a light color like white or silver, it is much more reflective, hence a much larger target for the gun. Supposedly this is why some drivers put those gray covers over their license plates. Plates are designed to be reflective so they can be read more easily at night thus making them a good target regardless of the vehicle color. If the reflective surface is reduced, it should effect the accuracy of the gun.
I'm no physicist, and this could all be urban legend, so take it for what it's worth.
