lol.

Black is slow. Absorbs too much sunlight. Montego Blue Mica reflects the light, and thus, WAY faster.

Like...190MPH!

Tch...who would drive a Black FD anyways? psh!

for a start, there are no roads in guernsey that long to do that speed!
it was just a simple question i asked. i dont own a 7, so im not going to know what they are like performance wise! i know my van is never going to be able to beat car like that, thats had a fair bit of work done to it!

yhanks evrone for ur answers
