Mystic Teal is the... uh... stealthiest? Most people think it's a V6 ... until they hear it

Also, not sure if it's a plus or minus, but girls say my car is "pretty". I call it a sleeper

nah...black is the fastest

12's should be cake with those 315 drag radials. if your car was stock you could get 12's on dr's with the driver mod of coarse. I g-teched my car @ 13.1 when it was stock on street tires.

I wish I would have waited and got my zr1's with the 11 inch wide rear rims. I am running 275 kumhos on the back and every hard shift turns the car sideways.
Must be nice to have traction.

be careful with that stock 10 bolt though! I would avoid a hard clutch dump.

Which is fastest then ... a red car with black wheels? Or, a black car with red wheels? I say the red car with the black wheels. Too bad my calipers are red instead of black ... now that would be one fast sons-a-bitch.

Red is sooooo fast ... the color red used to be black and the car went so fast it turned to red ... from the heat caused by the friction. The swirls spinning from the speed were just the process of the color change.

Nope ... 'cause the red is from it glowing after burning ALL the paint completly off. That's after the paint was swirling. The swirling effect if because the black paint was coming off the car and then it started glowing red ... 'cause it was going so fast.

This guy is an SRT-4 owner, so i'm surprised he doesn't know that black is NOT the fastest...

Yellow, Orange, Blue- Super fast

Red, Black- faster

White, silver- fast
