Red travels the fastest...
Violet travels the slowest.

Now, if automobile races were won based solely on the color of my car.....
I was going to say JETstream blue but wayne's theory sounds good

Default Fastest color

Have a good friend who is a State Trooper. He said BRIGHT RED cars ('vettes, Porsches, Mustangs, Camaros) all automatically get 5mph added to their clocked speeds.

Calls all of them "bust-me red."

Not sure if it's the fastest, but it's definitely my favorite.
Particularly in the afternoon sun.

I agree, aside from being so much slower than VICTORY RED I Love the way both oranges look on the c6!

Why would anyone buy a car that looks like a Duracell battery?
