It is well known that Agate is the fastest color.

A friend that got a new Mexico Blue GT3 delivered after the recent 'GT3 delay'. It's gorgeous but would be faster in Agate.

I know you guys aren't hooked in tight like me with Porsche North America (they moved down the street from me in Atlanta).

It's obvious that the fast blue stopped in 1973. It was called Gemini Metallic, and I still have it.

The Guards Red took the top prize with the 993.

It's now back to Agate Grey Metallic. It picks up speed when the blue falls off.

c.f; "Blue Shift" and "Red Shift", there is no mention of "Agate Gray shift" QED.

Larry,
I state here on the internet without equivocation or mental reservations and with much veracity that I had the facts correct: It's blue, red, and then agate.

I race vintage cars, and we would never cheat, lie, or exaggerate about anything.

Yes, most likely. And it is also the easiest color to care. I wouldn't choose Black or White, as I regard car-washing as time-wasting.

If you were happy with a black or white car you would be driving a Lincoln ...
