Not exactly correct.....GP white, more HP than some other colors...BUT....
Polar Silver, being metallic, Has a lower drag coefficient, so.....
Most colors......Good HP
GP White...More HP
Polar Silver....Most HP

It really is quite a simple equation, once you understand it.

Tsk tsk....again, another popular misconception....

Guards Red cars... closer to the spectral shift point when approaching Light speed.

Energy needed to approach light speed = a lot more than you can imagine.

Therefore, Guards Red cars have more power.

Clive - that is exactly wrong. The red cars ARE farther up the spectrum, and therefore need only a small boost to get from their point on the spectrum to light speed, so the factory didn't bother giving them the highest HP engines. Blue cars, OTOH, need to make a bigger shift to get there, so they got the extra power. It's all really simple if you truly understand how it all works.........

You guys have no idea what you are talking about. It is really ~this~ simple:

Cabriolets are faster in acceleration and handling than non-cabs irrespective of color. The reason? Simple. When the top is down, it weigh less and the center of gravity is lowered.

Any questions?

And, if you add to that, the well known fact that Porsche picked the strongest engines for its white cars, a white cab is a powerful combo!
