Yellow is the best color RX8. Black, silver, white, green, red, they all blend in with everyone else. The yellow stands way out.

You never loose your car in a parking lot and everyone sees it a long ways off.

I have yet to get a door bashed in at walmart.

Want to pull out in front of someone, they see you. Back out of a blind parking spot, they see you.

The car still gets looks like it is some expensive exotic car.

Yellow is nice and all, but to me that color only belongs on the 7 =p

And white stands out damn well at night, even when it's not well lit!

I think black is the best color for the 8 and most cars.

Oh well. Silver is the fastest because silver paint has the lowest drag coefficient. It's been scientifically proven in a double-blind, random test.
black is the best color, but also the easiest to get dirty and dusty
pain in the *** to keep clean.

but blue is the fastest

I never liked Red cars until my wife insisted VR when we bought our new 2010 RX8 in Feb. I wanted black, but we couldn't find one (except an AM which wasn't even a consideration for a RX8) so I when with her pick.

For a MAZDA RX8, RED is RIGHT. It looks Marrrrrrvelous!!

Black cars are for hearses and the Amish. Put some color in your life.

Thank you! My other car is black... poor thing... I try to keep it clean, i know it needs a new paint job, but dang. Black as well as other dark colors are pretty nice. I did not even like silver cars before I got this one because EVERYone drives a silver car... This I figured it out... HARD TO LOOK BAD AND DIRTY, I clean my cars weekly and it always looks amazing.


And just for the record... It is "Sunlight Silver".... I have super powers in the day light, just see a white light because I am traveling at the speed of light!

Black 8's are nothing but a mere shadow at night.. Everyone will see white.
plus, black hides the gorgeous curves.

This thread fails without a poll.

However, VRs are in fact the best.

+1 for VR. When you think of an RX-8.. You always picture a VR 8. Plus, red never fails. Girls like it.

What are you newbs talking about....everyone knows Silver is the best. In fact they're so much the best I own one...

Silvers are so much more powerful than any color out there. In fact, so powerful they can block out the sun! But then it gets too cold, so they create another sun! DOUBLE SUNLIGHT POWWWAAAA!

Sparkling black is the fastest because a spark is there and gone. If you blink that sparkle will be gone without you even knowing about it.
