Just because I love the way this car looks (mine). Nothing better looking. And BTW, white definitely goes faster, all that color slows you down:biggrin

That photo does well to show the rich, vibrant depth of the blue stripes. I (incorrectly) had thought they were just "blue" until I saw Ed Sims car in person.

Nice! :thumbsup

No doubt about that - it's the reason that Mercedes, Porsche, and Audi never painted their race cars in the early days - just to save weight. Similarly, the main fuel tank on the Space Shuttle.

Not sure that the white paint is any lighter (mass wise) than any other color, though.

Not sure if you can see it in the picture, but the GT guys painted the calipers blue with ford gt on them.

No question about it, white is faster!!! I do think that the white cars with blue stripe and red calipers are the fastest, as they're the most patriotic as well!!!!!

Gorgeous, although I’m pretty sure black no stripes is faster. Black is a lack of color, right?

Correct, Black is not a color. It is a pigment to make other colors vibrant.

I thought white is the absence of all color and black is all color together, making black.

"Black is the color of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum ; they absorb all such frequencies"

Black and white are no colours. Blue on the other hand is THE colour.
