Default Silver = Stealth mode

earlier someone asked/joked why would you want to be stealthy and why get the "boring silver".....well going to lunch today i saw an ugly green mid-90's Honda Accord covered with "racing" stickers, rolling on stock tires and suspension, with some "fat tips" on the stock exhaust......yeah, i'll take stealthy and FAST!

also, not many people seem to know this, but Audi does the same thing with S4s as Intel does with Pentiums -- they're all supposed to be the same when they get made, then they speed test them and the best ones get painted silver. it is the racing team color you know....

Actually, the REALLY fast ones burn the paint into a nice bright bluish hue during the "burn in"

Default You're so dead man...so dead! ;)

I like all the colors...except maybe cactus green. Silver is fun because people don't realize what you have until you dust 'em.

I might have silver but I ain't babying my car!
