Default CW-ITR look more beefy than blacks... why ?

I´ve got a starlight black ITR, run 7,5J16 rims and lowered her 40mm...
But she still looks like a small black car...

The white ITR`s look beefy if you slam them to the ground... They just look better and makes you like whooooaaaaa!

I wonder WHY

hell yeah!!!

but I guess that the official explanation is that white stands out more, curves on black paint car kinda dissapear on it, on white they look bigger.. when I look at black and white Scooby Turbo´s I think that white is wider and bigger..

The guys with the white ITRs just have a small pen!s problem so they must buy a bigger "looking" car to make up for it. Everyone knows that real, heterosexually confident men drive a PY ITR

My girlfriend tells me that black is slimming and white tends to make you look bigger. I guess women's fashion could also apply to cars...

Here's one of the reasons:

With things that you see, your mind/eye automatically puts an imaginary outline around that object, with black things the outline is already there but on the inside of the silhouette (sp?). Lighter things your eye draws the outline on the outside of the silhouette. It's an art and fashion trick. That's another reason why women like to wear black, it creates a slimmer profile visually.

Yellow, by this definition also should appear *AHEM* larger...

Hmmm,
seriously. No kidding anymore. I`ve hoped to find an answer to my question..
In fact, colour has nothing to do with performance

The truth is, I am thinking of a pair of sideskirts, but I don`t want to be a ricer.

It's for these reasons why I'm gonna get a dark color 15" rim. That and because I hate cleaning brake dust.

the colour scheme of black and white makes it aggressive and original...to the eye. Here in Australia there are a lot of people who are more into show than go. So chrome rims dominate here as well as turbo's but a race look is quickly catching on!

Actually if you think about it. That's wrong. Black ITRs heat up faster but at the same time they cool off faster too. The CW ones stay cooler but takes them longer to cool down. The PY are right in the middle. Although neglible...there is still a difference.
