Default AW, MG, or SSB?

Which color's the fastest?

Thinking about either of these three for a non-SRT coupe, and was wondering if any of you had any issues with any of the colors (sometimes paint quality and issues can vary)

I've been combing through the forum and the gallery....

OK, SSB is the fastest hands down. Metalic gold is pretty but hard to match in a repaint. The white seems to be fairly easy to maintain and match.

I have an aero blue coupe and an SSB roadster. The roadster would be the fastest but the Aero blue is an SRT giving my wife a little edge off the line
I let her beat me regularly but don't let that get around.

Gold coupes are very rare.

The hardest paint to match is the gun metal blue or"machine grey" models. The easiest to keep clean is the SSB. This mostly because the faster air streaming by clears the dust off.

hope that helps

Get a stick shift and the color won't matter.

Why would anyone want any other color?

For non SRT6 cars I would say SSB and Yellow is the fastest! Anyone want to prove Paul or I wrong?

Maintaining SSB has been simple. It hides alot of the fine details
As for matching SSB paint, I had my front bumper painted and it matched perfect.
Probably get my fender painted this spring due to squirrel damage

Quit beating your wife! Oops, she is beating you. That is okay.

I'm thinkin' black will soon be the fastest. Then again, have you and Paul got something up your sleeves?

SSB has been the fastest for a while now. Almost all the V8 Crossfires in the world are SSB. The first three V8 Crossfires were all SSB and then came one yellow one and then another SSB.

I love my Alabaster. Regarding maintenance/repaints, the color is not metallic so that generally saves you a few bucks.

The other good thing about white is that it opens up ALL avenues for customization. In other words, you can accent it with ANY wheels, any caliper color, carbon fiber, etc.

Care is a breeze, except under the engine bay.
