Question Which color would you take

I just found out that my dealer has one red and one white L coming in and I can have my choice. Which color is going to be easiest to keep looking sharp and be the fastest?

Red hides alot more than white.White is a pain in the butt.White is harder to keep clean due to tires being so wide.Everytime you put dressing on them you get brown spots all over it.Red does look better with chrome wheels.I know,I had white with chrome and after looking at BABOLTS and ASDEMANS....Its true.Red is easier to wax!!

White doesnt fade as easy as red.White is more rare.White looks better with clear lenses.If a bird *****s on it,If he is a healthy bird ,you wont even see it when you buy white you get :white gauges/white shocks and white paint.Monocromatic look White hides scratches a little better.Black.Forget it. White is my favorite.White is faster due to the sun reflecting off the moon which increases horsepower in all white vechicles.It is also the only color that is kinda plain until you chrome the wheels.

Doesn't matter. If you can't have black,
then you may as well kill yourself.

CA,

You sound a little unsure about him picking white. Sounds like your doubting that white is the fastest.

Zoomer,

A little extreme, but you are right. If you don't get a Black one you may as well drive a F150 around cause black is way faster that the others.

Out of my last 4 trucks 3 were red and one was green. The green was easier to keep clean than the red ones were.

Since it has a habit of raining in the afternoon here in Florida it' almost impossible to keep a truck spotless. That makes getting something that doesn't show road dirt more of a concern.

Maybe it's time to try a white truck. I've never owned that color so I have no personal experience to base the choice on.

I do know that when you heat metal, white hot is hotter than red hot. Therefore white must be faster. Question is, is it fast enough to keep the road dirt from getting on it.

Talking

Duck & I met at the Sonic drive in-a few weeks ago. He has black, I have white.... His was only a week or two old, with a fresh car wash. Mine is 10 months old, with a two week old car wash and a 4 week old Zaino.

Mine looked cleaner.

Mine was also faster... I had been waiting for him at that Sonic for at least 6 months! Sure got tired of eating tater tots!

Red and black definitely show off the chromed wheels a lot better tho.....

I plan on powder coating my wheels white to match the rest of the truck.... Can you say even fassterrrrr? This should add about 10 hp per wheel don't you think?

Ya.....

But if you were to burn an ape.....his **** would be red from the flame....

hence the term

"runs like a Scalded Ape"
...therefore proving the theory that the Red is indeed the fastest!

I love my Red Lightning.
