Default The Black and the white of it

Compare if you will Black C2 and White C4 wide body....is the Black that much narrower or is it the colours that make the difference....of course when it comes to performance we all know the Black cars had stronger engines

I think if the white car didn't have a tail on it you'd see the difference more so.



Also, not sure if you know this but Midnight Blue cars outperform even the Black cars. LOL!

wash your mouth out....I am no tippy however as to the white car next to my faster black car....well I will leave Trinitony to speak for himself.......by the way I really did hear that Porsche selected the stronger engines for black cars......they deviced that the black slippery look would need the extra power for some reason, dont know why but it really is a fact....hahahahaha well if you believe that one....

This pic was taken on a day when Tony and I were preparing our cars for a Rennlist meet last fall...hence the leaves

People always think that red looks faster... as if our brains are telling us to perceive things faster than they really are. In fact, it is a conspiracy that was created deep within the dark walls of Porsche. They put engines with at least 10-15 more hp in their guards red cars. Over the years, unable to scientifically explain the phenomenon, people have simply given up and passed it off as an illusion.

Hi David! Long time no see. How are the old roads over there treatin you?

It's the angle. The photographer was taking the pictures from right to left. So, the white car have is butt more centered = appear more wider.

Very well put. Even with the strongest 993 engine (White 993) I am no match to a talanted driver.
