FFS the bonnet vents make a extra 5kw easy
Don't forget that the absence or removal of fake-chrome plastic also adds 3% accelerative ability to any car; switching it for black adds an extra 2%.

The man makes a hilariously good point here. Add stripes and you will take a second off your quarter mile time.
White cars have no clear coat or metallic so have to be faster

But red is faster!
It just is!!

[sorry to derail this thread - but are you serious in saying that white VF's actually don't have a clear coat? I'm not at all disagreeing, I don't know myself, but it would really surprise me if all cars didn't go through exactly the same paint application processes regardless of colour?]

[Old thread, I know, but...]
Wouldn't clear coat be faster? More slippery?

And I didn't think solid cars needed clear coat.

My VX (Devil Yellow) doesn't have a clear coat. Maybe that's why the paint is still great.
