69dejavue Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 That's correct!! Therefore, the Performance White Shelby GT gets the blue ribbon!!! :happy feet: and you want a trophy, not a ribbon!!!!!! Again, Black is not a color. It is the absence of color. Only Stevie Wonder could appreciate a Black SGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFBLUE Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 When refering to light you are correct. Black is the absense of any color and white is the sum of all colors. However if you are talking pigments (i.e. paint), black is the sum of all colors and white is the absence of any color. Take your kid's crayons and color the same area with each crayon. What do you get? Black. Now on to the subject the of the hottest color. Using light from a star, scientists determine the surface temperature. The hottest stars are blue, followed by white, yellow, orange, red. Thus Blue is the hottest color too. Now to truely determine what color is the fastest, one would have to know which color paint job weighs the least. Since white has no pigment, I would say it weghs the least. All things being equal a White SGT would be lighter and thus faster than the other colors. However, this is countered by the fact that all things being equal, people attracted to blue have quicker reaction times than others. Thus in a 1/4 mile race they would have the advantage. Where did I read this? Well I took a piece of paper and wrote it down. Then I read it. Sorry it's a boring day in Iraq today (thank you God).

ilmor Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 The BLUE one, like mine, was so far out in front even the driver of the white Shelby GT couldn't see it!!!! And that was with the top down too!! Actually, the white one had already run circles around you once and was coming at you a second time!!!! OK...I think I should give up on this now...

Piccola Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Where did I read this? Well I took a piece of paper and wrote it down. Then I read it. Sorry it's a boring day in Iraq today (thank you God). Which I'm sure is a most credible source! Or you could just get one in each color! That way you know for certain you have the fastest color. Thanks for an entertaining start to my day. And...a BIG thanks for all you do for our country!!! Get home safe & God bless, MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airforcevm Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'll jump in here too... I picked up my new 2008 SGT convertible over Father's Day weekend in Clearwater, FL. Made for a nice Father's Day weekend at the beach. Anyway, while at the dealer on Saturday, I got some wheel locks and wanted to get touch up paint to have on hand. However, I was told by the parts department (and by four other dealers I called) that they only stocked black and white paint because those were the more common Ford colors or "safe" colors... so I had to order my Vista Blue Clearcoat Metallic. Remember, Henry Ford's original mantra, in producing a car for the masses, was that you can have it in any color you want... as long as it's black. You've got to admit the blue and silver color combo is sharp and immediately draws to mind the classic blue 427 Cobra with silver LeMans stripes. That combo screams "Shelby". My new ride: Yes, it's easy to pick out the SGT in a crowd. I mean this all in good fun... I was seriously looking at a White 2007 SGT coupe with the Parchment (Tan) interior... very sharp combination. You don't see those with the Tan interior very often and I imagine they might command some money some day since there didn't seem to be as many produced. Thats one sexy ride you have there. I don't know that much about them but thats sexy. Good find bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69dejavue Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 AF Blue- May you have many more boring days until your short timer calendar and then God Speed Home. Re the colors. I believe the fastest color would be the car capable of reaching the speed of white (light). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willyumm930 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm getting in the discussion a little late, so...WHITE FOR THE WIN!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGJ Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Actually, the white one had already run circles around you once and was coming at you a second time!!!! OK...I think I should give up on this now... ILMOR - OK...I have to admit, I was laughing when I was typing my reply yesterday about being too far out in front for the White one to see the Blue one with the top down...then I read your reply about being on the second lap!!! It took me 5 minutes to quit laughing enough to be able to type this reply!! If white doesn't win for the fastest, its driver definitely wins the humor award (aka. the "class clown")!!! Thanks for the laugh after a tough day at work! Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
