Possibly - but infinitesimal effect.

since you opened science topic to it.. don't forget Corvette Black paint has the greatest concentration of Dilithium Crystals.. which makes warp speed obtainable. So - Black is still faster.

That's still a theory at this point. If only Einstein or Tesla were around today and had vettes...

The degradation of meaningful topics is showing. This trivial thread is the best evidence that this crappy winter weather has us all wishing we could drive our vettes rather than participate with silly posts on this forum.

I am joking.

It is also hypothesized that torch red cars are relatively more impervious to nano protonic wave particles thus enabling them (the cars) to achieve higher absolute velocities. We must emphasize that in the scientific world this "nano protonic wave particle effect" is still considered a hypothesis and further research on the matter is needed.

We trudge on (speedily).


whatever he just said but in reference to victory red.

Black Is Fastest if you have the hash marks only as it causes the red transfer of energy along with the Black thing, and I think the winter is killing the Northern Vette owner's brains. We are driving in FL with the top off/down.

sorry, forgot, me thinks black will be faster if you focus it only on distant colors to draw it faster further, or is it further faster

Black is fastest on a C5. JSB is fastest on a C6. Even faster if the top and interior is black.

I can't believe you guys are having such a silly discussion... besides we all know yellow is the fastest and most powerful color, yellow like the sun, the sun like light, light like the speed of light

Color only has a marginal affect on speed, it's the bloated wide body that really slows some of them down....

Get notified of new replies

To Black Corvettes are faster due to this

You are all wrong my friends. Lets settle this once and for all.
The ones with the racing stripes are the fastest period. (doesn't matter the color) Why else would they put them on.

Clearly the secret remains for anyone who purchased a Blade Silver Metallic car...

GM option Z11-A342.1 (Capacitor, Flux, 1 ea.) when installed propels the vehicle through time, hence making silver the fastest color.

Still no explanation from GM as to why they only offer this option for silver, but hey, i'll take it.

I believe there was a government funded research done in this area..

Ha ha. It's the slowest color because it absorbs all the colors and therefore is the heaviest Corvette.
