...like mine.

But now I wish I has bought a black 8.

I think black is the best color for the 8 and most cars.

Oh well. Silver is the fastest because silver paint has the lowest drag coefficient. It's been scientifically proven in a double-blind, random test.

ha I always like the look of the silvers and i drive a bb. The thing that sucks is that swirl marks show so easily on the black.

well silver might b the fastest considering the curse and alll!!!!....that's y it's the curse cause they are all going so damn fast they can't keep under control!!!!1 haha

Black cars are nice but hard to keep clean etc etc....my last car was black and i found that colored wax(black) worked the best to keep the swirls out

I love my sparkling black mica. Nobody can pin down what to call it, I've heard people call it green, charcoal, and black. It looks amazing in the sun.

White has the lowest drag coefficient... It reflects photons!! Or is it missing out on absorbed energy?

Black looks the best when clean, but it gets dirty way too easily.

I say white is most effective in daytime racing. Everyone else will be blinded by the reflectiveness

Win thread. Silver is the fastest. Period. SUNLIGHT Silver...we all know the speed of light beats lighting winning and velocity.

Look into my signature and appreciate it.

Finally all you inferiors see the light. Black shows people how much you truly care about your car. It takes hours and hours of wax work, but when you're finished, you can't stop staring until the sun goes down

Nothing beats a waxed black 8

For the 15 minutes a black car stays looking clean, they are awesome. For the other 23 hours, 45 minutes of the day, Silver (or shades,variances thereof) owns.

I agree. It was my first choice. But I decided against it because I thought I would be way to **** about keeping it clean. Turns out I'm just as **** about keeping the car clean anyway.

Silver is universal.
Life on other planets travel in silver vehicles for a reason.
