Damn....to think that when I went to buy my X50, it came down to a white one with a tan interior, and a blue one with charcoal and carbon fibre interior. I chose the blue...and now I realize I could have had a MUCH faster and better car simply by choosing the white one......sigh......destiny is cruel to us sometimes.

Glen: The WPOC has voted to remove your membership for revealing one of our most sacred truths. We also ask that you refrain from using the secret hand shake. Nice car, btw.

Glen,
This thread is why you don't venture out of the Racing and DE forum. See you at VIR?

Because people are willing to speak up here?

Oh c'mon...take a look around. Stock portfolios folding like wet cardboard....economy in free fall....none of what's been said has been said in any mean-spirited or malicious way. Sure, we take some perverse delight in poking the bear once in a while....but what would it be like without Statsman, Kelley, Adam, PhD, Gota911(who poaches from the 996 forum) and any number of other noteables....all of who add to the color and fun of dissenting views and a few harumphs!! Stick around...it gets better!!

No, well I don't know. That's the funny thing. I have no clue who's car this is. It is a random photo. Obviously, this has been debated before.

My source say that for a Cadillac, it is the Mary Kay Pink ones that are the fastest.

Of course, my source is my three-year-old. 3-year-olds like pink.

Stating that White cars have the most power is simply ridiculous. Last time I checked, Porsche was a for profit company. There is no way they would waste resources to determine the strongest engines and put them in the white cars. How it the heck would that even work on a production line? Do you think they're going to stop the line and rearrange engines?

It's not like they're hand built like the engine in my E55.

Or are they

It is actually true.
Spend some time at the factory and you'll see for yourself.
That is why Cup cars are always delivered 'body in white'...

Really.

You do realize the term 'body in white' isn't referring to the color white, right?

This whole thread makes me laugh.
