That's just not true... white is the faster color because it doesn't absorb light like black does, so white is faster during the daytime. All that light gets really heavy. At night the difference is negligible.

Nah, TiAg has a molar mass of 155.74g/mol. The metallic flakes just weigh down the car.

Jet Black on the other hand, reflects only 2% of the Sun's energy. It absorbs the other 98% and converts it to thrust; adding 30 HP.

It's a closely guarded secret, but the BMW factory race teams have known that white is the fastest color for years.

non-metallic paint is faster. Mostly due to the fact of the ink saved on the window sticker

I still say that black gives you more HP and is proven to be as fast as a jet.

It saves weight and black can be taken around everywhere! Now coming to a store near you!

I think you're confusing those with the skidmarks in your underpants?

Almost forgot...I have a kick ass dragon sticker that I'm dropping on the hood as soon as my 335 gets in. I have a couple of swords for the doors too, but I'm not sure I'll be putting those on. Everyone knows that stickers, not paint color, is what makes the car faster. Haven't you ever seen Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift?

Never saw the thread and, we are making fun of the original poster.

Do you wanna be made fun of? I can surely arrange that if you want.
