the title of the thread is wrong it should be "with color looks faster"

I think black and white makes the car LOOKS faster.
silver cars looks slow.
Red cars stand out.

It's true. The dragon stickers are the fastest. I would not recommend using a dragon sticker on a green BMW, it already has 50 extra horsepower.

Black paint weighs .843 pounds lighter than the any other colors. Go with black painted BMW.

Only at night. During the day it weighs 1.843 lb thus it offsets speed gains during equinox and solstice...It's slightly faster or slower after each of these events

It is a little known fact that PPG is trying a hostile takeover of Dinan. The extra horse power hidden in certain colors of automotive paint is part of an attempt to sabotage Dinan's stock value.

If you get a metallic paint, and you're driving north it is faster then a non-metallic paint because of the pull from the pole.
