If you want to go by that rule, it'd be the CR/silver combo - never seen that one in person though.

A silver roof adds more hp than a pulley, I assure you. The only one I've seen is a BRG, has anyone seen others?

British RACING Green, of course. Just look at the name. Not that I'm biased or anything.

i was just thinking about that too. jet black except for the tendency to be pulled over is definitely the fastest color. and chrome is just mach speed!

so i guess my future car with its jet black body(CF eventaully which is even faster than chrome) and chrome roof and bonnet stripes will be like um...THE FASTEST CAR EVER CREATED!!!

just have to watch out for cops

Per,

This is an easy question!

The fastest color is whichever color I'm driving! So that has to be Jet Black!
