Lippy, I guess I like color in a sports car... perhaps something to do with my latino genetics. I think of these cars as wild, out of control, big mouthed, immature apes, and I carry mine around as such. If mine were a slab-side street beauty, I would have definitively use bare, or chrome, or even black.
Since the only original color is oxidized magnesium, I figure the sky is the limit. Plus, I DO have to admit that I borrowed it from the Italians (another lively group). Remember the Ferrari 330 P3/P4, the Lamborghini Miura SV, Nikki Lauda's Formula Ferrari, etc? To me red and gold = fast
