Speed

Is it true that a red mini is much faster than the rest of the minis?

It must be true, I always hear that police pull over more red cars for speeding than any other color. In my mind my red MINI is faster than any other color.

Of course. (You're not trying to cause trouble around here, are you?)

It could be because the officers are able to see the red cars . . . I hear the Pepper Whites are never pulled over - they fly by in a blur!!!

Painting your brake calipers red also gives you 25 more horsepower

As the photographer at the track day said, "It doesn't matter how fast you're going, it only matters how fast it looks like your'e going." So of course, Chili Red adds 15 mph to anything.

dannyhavok, nice wheels! What are they? Edit: NVM, read your sig.
