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.

oh randall....how could you

I just don't like trendy colors like speed yellow
speed yellow ROCKS!!

I am firmly convinced yellow is the best color for any kick ass sports car

then followed by red, then silver.

Black is the worst, this coming from somebody with a black BMW E36 318 and black BMW X5.

The jade ain't bad either. Cobalt blue is another good porsche color.

Randall, Randall, Randall.......

and WHO said a M3 is a CHICK car????????
E46 M3's are pretty nice cars, 333hp. All they need is coilovers and brembos. The CSL competition package gives you that too.

A chick car is a rabbit cab, or a beetle cab, or a mitsubishi eclipse.

there AINT any Porsche car that could possibly be classified as a chick car.

My bad... It was me - on the M3 post. But I was only talking about the convertible. I dig the coupe. Guess I should have kept my thoughts to myself. Never thought the comment would yield postings of bronze balls....

Oh well - still think they look girleeeeee!
