the fastest color light relates at all to the fastest S4 paint color?

help a poor guy out!

it has to do with refractorablizationism

even Einstein knows that .... GEEZ!!

Ya, but in the end you are only running APR S3. Which can be smoked by many cars.

they reflect the most light, versus absorbing it as it is then converted into heat. a hotter temperature on the outer body panels could maybe affect the air intake temps, but since this difference is so small, and since we drive turbo cars, and our ECU adjusts boost for whatever power loss is attributed to pure engine block power loss (i.e., less cool air entering the intercoolers and intake), there is really no REAL difference.

also more heat absorbed = hotter shell/body = more drag because hot air expands versus cold air, but this is just speculation.

in a NA engine car, darker colors could technically be slower by minimal amounts, but again, this is virtually negligible.

the real question would be if any of the paints weighed more than others, including clearcoat and/or any gloss/metal added to the paint for aesthetic purposes.

i know it's a joke here on AW, but that's my breakdown based upon physics.

ps: this may be jumbled and confusing, but it's late and i don't care. you get the gist of it. g'nite bretheren.

Agreed.

wavelength * frequency == constant

well, excluding dispersion effects in non-homogeneous materials.
