Hey Mumbly,

Good grief what a nice-looking truck! How in the world do you ever find the time to keep that thing so clean?!? I've only owned 2 black cars, because I thought that black was the *only* color for the Lincoln Mark 8, even though I had been warned how hard it is to keep black paint looking good. They looked good, but I don't think I would do it again, black takes somebody like you Mumbly to keep it looking good, I mean great, er, uh, I mean, fantastic like yours!

Root Beer brown is. My 70 Factory Stock Dodge Challenger is that color and does the 1/4 mile in 12.922 secs at 108.78 mph. Top speed is 151 mph.

RED is the fastest color, like the color of Superman's cape. Of course the rest of you can't know that Red is the fastest color because all you see is a fuzzy blurr in front of your windsheild that gets smaller and smaller.

"Didn't everyone learn in grade school that WHITE has every color in it so it is obvious that WHITE is the fastest."

That only applies to colors created with light. When mixing colors of pigment (such as paint) all colors together make black, technically, in reality it is usually a muddy brown.

So there for black is the fastest color

It's amazing what the fastest color *really* is, and I'm going to settle this once and for all, no thanks needed......

And the absolute fastest color is.......whatever color *your* vehicle is!

OK, don't start throwing tomatoes, I just had to state the obvious.

If you could ask good ole' Henry Ford, he'd quickly tell you black was the fastest, and that is why all those Model T's are black...simply because black paint dried faster in those days, and it helped speed the assembly line! What was that old saying, "You can have it in any color as long as it's black", or something to that effect.

Ducking & running,

RED is the color that comes to mind, but my fastest vehicle is a silver/black Mustang and not the red truck. Then again our red turbo probe isn't exactly slow. When I think of a fast car I think of a Porsch, Farari, or Lamborgini and they are usually RED!

Good for you!
Now when you think of the fastest Truck, you need to think Blue!

When I was in high school the fastest cars in the lot were all the same...

PRIMER! There was ALWAYS something more important than paint.
