Come on Howard...... Just because you have the slowest color does not give you the right to hate on the fastest color. I do understand how the envy factor does cause you to be in a state of denial though. I will let you in on a little known secret as to why the black ones are faster though..... We have to keep so much darn wax on ours to keep them looking good that they have less coefficient drag than other colors that require less maintenance. LOL
