Default coupe is faster, that's why aviator grey is only on coupe... roadster couldn't handle the speed...

everyone knows aviator grey is fastest... and i am in stealth mode all winter... i blend right in to the overcast days...

Black = absence of color, in other words, no speed of LIGHT, aka SLOW! }:Þ

Absence of colour because all light energy is absorbed by the vehicle. Ergo, black is faster.

Default Transition Funding?

How are you funding your team? I refuse to allow the release transitional funds until the controversy is settled.

Default Magnetics

You've forgotten to consider magnetic influences on the metallic finishes ... Denim Blue would actually be the fastest traveling north in the northern hemisphere.

Default HAHA, too bad the Silver and the BB has pearl finish as well....

Blue with metal flakes reflects more light(due to the lighter color+metal flakes) thus making the car run cooler, WHICH will get dense air in the car.

Default You left out the most unique color.....

Silver only looks fast because you see it everywhere - every manufacturer has 'em.

Black - gorgeous for about 5 minutes and then it can't even outrun dust.

Amulett - cool but red is common - and boy does red age badly.

Green - OK but also common - and those scratches.

DB - ricey.

Aviator Gray - clearly the best, most unique, most forgiving and most striking color on the road. Seriously - everyone loves it.

But no matter - to own a TT, whatever the color, is to own a truly wonderful, smile inducing, piece of art....that runs like a banshee.
