I'm about 4 miles north of Orlando Int'l Airport.

Just wondering Tigster, Were you on I-4 today(Mon.) about 6pm?
I saw a red 8 blow by me on the far center lane just before the 408 exit.

I was on I4 at 6 but I was in the far right lane getting onto 408 west bound. I have a red, appearance package, tinted windows, clear corners

I believe it probably was you. I was in the center lane in my black 8 and you flew by me, I caught up later when traffic slowed a little but was unable to get close enough
to give a salute. :p I travel that route almost every day so I'm sure our paths will cross again.

Tigster 02-01-2005 08:00 AM

I will keep my eyes open, I want to know why you were just sitting there and I flew by. Maybe the black ones can't keep up with the red ones?? LOL :D

I saw 2 more 8's this morning, 1 on the 528 going West and another on the turnpike heading south. Both about 8:15 this morning

SL01 02-01-2005 01:21 PM

So maybe my color theory doesn't work. :p

Here is my theory, red is a stand alone color on the spectrum. hence using only 1 hue to color the paint.

Since black is the "combination of all colors in the spectrum" the paint should weight the most. ;)

And white is the absence of color having no additional hues added it is in fact the lightest and then the fastest of all colors.

LOL

Sounds like you've put a lot of thought and research into this phenomenon.
:confused: I was told once that cops are more likely to stop a speeding RED car as opposed to any other color. Not sure if that's true or not. Yesterday in Altamonte Springs
I spotted a navy blue 8 sitting in the parking lot by my bank. After going through the drive-up I drove by again to get a closer look. A young dark haired girl was sitting in it ready to leave. Never seen that color before. NOT winning blue but a much darker navy blue color.Had to be re- painted that color. I don't think Mazda has introduced any new colors for the '05 other than the white. Maybe I'm wrong

Tigster 02-02-2005 07:17 PM

I think the red cop theory is correct, they tend to stick out and attract more attention. Isnt the navy blue a mazdaspeed / jdm color?

epitrochoid 02-02-2005 08:13 PM

oooh that MS blue?

Rx8honey 02-02-2005 09:01 PM

There's a red 8 that passes me every morning (between 745 -8) heading West bound on I4 by 434 or 436 (I'm heading East). Is that one of you guys? Anyhoo, wave if you see me.
