generally only if you are the only car on the road. but if there is traffic you're golden as it will be tracking the cops trying to radar others

I would disagree. This boy has some reach. Now I would agree if you are sight of popo, but with more reach, comes more warning. And if you are with a pack of other cars, you can back off and let them go. There are scenarios that would not be in your favor, but most are.

I think black cars look fantastic right after washing them. Otherwise they look like crap. Red is an extremely close second, if not tied with black.

White just looks classy and I think it looks fantastic when clean. It even looks good while dirty lol

If that Maserati is still for sale next month I'm likely going for it. Planning to pay my Camaro off next month sometime.

I know I won't ever own another black car. Difficult to keep clean and they're wicked hot inside during the summer.

i agree with black being a pain in the ass to keep clean. i just dont find light colors to be appealing, especially yellow. i could settle for dark red. planning on my next camaro (hopefully ss) dark red with black rally stripes.


EDIT: i really wish forza would come to ps4. i guess i have to wait till 2017 for GT.
