black is for taxis and hearses...

And limousines...

You might want to know that in fact Germany's racing color is white.

... and silver. White being the more ¿old school variety? and of course silver being famous on the Silver Arrows.

International Colours

Come on red and white or white and green! (Canada)

Actually, I do agree. I don't think I would want a black muscle car. I'd rather have a blue or red one.

At $100,000, it doesn't really matter how well it accelerates or handles

...what else is there to look for in a car?

...what else is there to look for in a car?

How it looks, how fun it is to drive, build quality, etc...

I mean you can find other cars that accelerate and handle just about as well costing much less.

I'll take a black Charger á la Bullitt, thank you.

Reliability, too. That's probably my #1 priority for a car. I would not be much fun for me to own a car that keeps needing repairs.

This may surprise you, but many people aren't concerned that the Maserati was 4-6 seconds faster on a track than a Bentley or a 300C. At $100,000+, it cost a lot of money to get that extra 4-6 second faster speed!

And a Maserati is not a muscle car by American definitions because a muscle car does not have an extremely high price (muscle cars were/are affordable).

Would the Viper and Corvette be a muscle car then? They offer great performance, but many still refer to them as muscle cars.

My favorite colors- Silver, Black, White- not fussy colors.

Least Favorite colors- Dark brown (looks like crap), pale yellow (looks like a Twinkie, like the Maserati), and electric pink (like the Veyron that was painted that color).

Then again, some colors may be appropriate for some cars, like previous members noted.

It was originally white until Daimler Benz found that in the 1934 German Grand Prix their W25 race cars excedeed the 750kg limit by 1kg. Alfred Neubauer (then head of the Daimler Benz competition department) decided to scrap the white pain and the cars appeared the next day with their bare aluminium bodywork. The race was succesful and the legend was born. So silver being Germany's racing color is purely incidental.

Buy Toyota.

I knew you had to know way more than I did. I was right.
