I don't see the color "copper"?

That's the fastest color.

(I dare you to outrun a FMJ bullet with ANY color crossfire!)



I just KNOW Oledoc2u will have a comment to make about this post!

hey, I don't need the fastest color OR the fastest car ... I am more than happy with the car I've got ... other than the fact that sometimes (but not always) I'd like a converable, it gives me everything I've ever wanted in a car ...

When Corvettes first came on the market, my grandad wanted one ... he'd have bought one, but my gram assured him that if he did, she would not ride in it ... happily, MrsS doesn't share my grams reluctance, although she is prone to telling me I'm driving too fast ... perhaps if mine WERE the fastest car, she'd be like my gram and not ride in it ... and I'd really hate to have to drive around all the time in her big ol' Intrepid ...

Thanks guys. Its settled. I will buy a black one. Does chrome parts slow 'er down?

I left out white from the choices because ask any first grader and they will tell you that white isn't a color.

To get a little more technical.....Black is the absence of color.....white is the full spectrum of color!

Black being the fastest does hold water.

Don't the black versions come with extra muscle. J/k

Exactly!
And to get even MORE technical, since all the color we see is a component of light & since light travels at the same speed everywhere (in a vacuum at 186,282 miles per second) no one color is actually faster.
Except on Earth where Aero Blue is the fastest...........

Superman may be close, but no cigar.

I will say that I don't see very many Black Crossfires. I forget what the term used is for this behavior but I have a predisposition to see more of them as an owner of a black one myself while someone else noticing more SSB Blue ones because they own an SSB Blue Crossfire. Most of the ones I see are Aero Blue or Graphite.
That's because they are slower cars. So's you can see them. It is also why you see more black ones which should quash your rediculous and unscientific theory.

SSB on a roadster is fastest. My mommy told me so.

The way it should be

Enjoy my friend. No pills for me. I'm taking some blinker fluid witha little Glenfiddich. Or perhaps the other way around.

for the pain of course.

And doc, SSB is faster.
