New member, Hi!

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking for quite some time and have finally decided to make a post. I have owned my blue metallic 8 for about a year and I love it. I used to have big HP V8 American cars (Mustang, Camero) but have been converted to cars that put handling ahead of acceleration <flame suit on>. I have come to love the handling and braking of the 8- there really are other aspects to a sports car!

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi, thanks for having such a great forum!

Yes, but WB is also the slowest color.

Welcome aboard. Gopher will be here shortly to take your bags.

No, you just think you get 7 more HP because you got hit from the back and are being pushed..... oh the curse..will it last 86 years like the sox?

Welcome BlueRotary.

'WINNING' doesn't apply in context between us other colors. 'Velocity' is fastest, and I speak the truth because I don't even own a red. I'm unbiased.

clearly winning refers to the fact that the blue cars are winning. there is no other interpretation possible. close this thread.

It's a little-known but well-established fact that the Shinka black cherry actually handles better.

all you guys with silvers, titaniums, yellows,blacks,shitnka, blue, white (not so much white looks beautifull), all fall short to the velocity red. it just defines SPORTS CAR. its respect confidence. and it look damn good.

But don't RED sports car just scream midlife crisis???? Blue is the best color!!!!!

P.S. The new Phantom Blue is awful. It looks like a dark blue color (looks like the Strato Blue color of the RX-8 in France or maybe the X-men blue one) but then when the light hits it, it reflects this pea green color. Ick. I saw it on the new Mazda 5 last week. Definitely glad I didn't decide to be adventerous and order that color sight unseen!

WINNING BLUE all the way!!!!

Red is the fastest. The paint has gold glitters to reflect/ insulate the heat cause by air friction. Being inside a VR RX8... I feel pretty cool!!! Those gold glitters really help!

Colours Specialty
Snow flake white pearl Fastest on snow
Sunlight silver Lightest 8 under the sun
Velocity Red Fastest in straight line only (Velocity being a vector)
Titanium Gray Highest rigidity
Winning Blue Never lost coz noone dares to challenge
Brilliant Black For brilliant drivers only
Phantom blue Just like the hero Phantom
Strato blue Redline at 11000 rpm as high as stratosphere
