Question What is the "fastest" color?

So over the holidays, my friends and I have been discussing what is the "fastest" color...

although my Porsche is blue, and the previous ones were in order - silver, black and (what is now closest to) seal gray (for the '82MY, it was called black metallic, but clearly looked like seal gray) my vote goes toward red.

What color do you guys think gives you an extra virtual second around the track?

A nonmetallic color is lighter in weight. Speed yellow of course.

The lack of color makes it lighter. Carrera White of course.

Ok where are the light spectrum techies to tell me white is actually all colors combined?

Whatever color that 914-6 race car is that passes me on the track. I never see him long enough to get a really good look.

Red cars get speeding tickets while parked................... ergo the fastest.

All kidding aside a cleaner car is faster allowing more clean air to flow over the paint surface..... by a tiny margin.
