Is white really the fastest color?

You have to refer to what it is fastest at.

White is the fastest moving color because of the photon factor, Leon has proven this scientifically. Black is the fastest at showing dirt, and red is by far the fastest one to be called common, at least with the earlier models.

The only problem with white is that it is a damned ugly color on a miata, especially when you add things like BBS wheels and chrome fuel lids. ;-)

This from a guy who's taste is such that he owns the entire Lawrence Welk collection on CD and plays it incessantly, interrupted only by an occasional Barry Manilow number.... ;-)

We're gonna have to expand Pat's musical horizons. Let's send him some Mantovani. Maybe some Yanni, too.

You almost nailed it, but you left out my all-time favorite singer, Michael Bolton. Riding along in the miata with "When a Man Loves A Woman" playing at full volume is pure bliss.

Pat

I don't even know who Mantovani is, but if you are dissing Yanni, then we have a problem.

Pat

Let's see now, "Yanni". Isn't that what you do when you are "Sleeepy" ?

Bruce Bing '03 LS

No Bruce,

Yanni is what makes you sleepy, kind of like I am after only 4 1/2 hours last night.

Sorry to any Yanni fans, not that I may have offended you, just sorry that you are a Yanni fan. ;-)

Pat

After repeated tests, I find that Red is by fast the quickest, speediest, yes the fastest color currently known to Miata owners.

I'm sure you all will agree

Absolutely. I couldn't have said it better myself. ;)

They were just before my time.

Think really big hair, too much makeup and the way too much spandex wearing heavy metal bands of the 80's. ;-)

Our experience is that Margie's red 1.6 automatic is much much slower than my black 1.8 stick. That red paint just slows her down.

Ahumm ,

The fastest color is British Racing Green. The color is direct imported out of the racetrack. Have you ever heard of colors "racing snowy white" , Indian Racing Red ? at least i not. The 91-BRG serie , where limited , for human safety, only skilled pilot wil survieve.

I knew that there had to be another "Office Space" fan out there! It is one of my top ten favorite comedy movies, maybe even in the top ten overall. I even won a red Swingline stapler at a special screening a few years back.

Michael Bolton: "There WAS nothing wrong with that name, until about the time I turned 12 and that no-talent ass clown started winning grammys".

I think it's generally accepted that cops are more likely to stop a red or yellow car for speeding than they are for other colors, including white. So, if you get stopped by a cop, red is a really slooooow color.

David P.

RED, you mean like, "Arestmered" :-)

Bruce Bing '03 LS

That is not quite accurate. If a red and a white Miata are going at the same speed, the cop is indeed going to stop the red one. One sees her reasoning: "Do we really want someone who would buy a red Miata go that fast?"

Unfortunately, since the white Miatas are faster and quicker to get there, it is not immediately clear that a white Miata has less chance of being ticketed.

More objective research is clearly indicated.
