Silver is the lightest paint sold by Porsche, it improves the aero dynamics as well.
The Germans didn't pick it as their national team's colors just because they like the way it looks!

...trust me, no need to search wikipedia.

Perfectlap, you are using logic and I am using pure emotion and personal preference. You are indeed correct... but I just don't care because it's not about logic or aerodynamics or the fact that Germany's racing color is silver.

No offense to you, your incredibly shiny boxster, or your preference in car colors... it's just me, and it's just a very wierd personal preference, I know.

It's not a manly car or a girly car. It's a Porsche. 'nuff said.

just kidding, silver is not lighter or more aero efficient.
Germans just like to keep things sparkling clean as much as possible, too much engineering they need to do with the rest of the day.
Meanwhile the Italians choose red because it looks the nicest and since they take their sweet time to do EVERYTHING its no problema.
