Thank You.

Sorry for the mess :razz: It's an incurable sickness :-D

Keep taunting me, and I will be forced to show you the garage in my previous house. It's even more disgusting than this one ! :hammer:

Not picking on you dude but, how come almost nobody gets the color matched mirrors on a Sprint? It makes the bike look complete to me. The new red would look outstanding with them. Maybe I'm just biased?

Hey Nomad maybe you can help us resolve this for once and all.

I would assume that Blue is fastest and Red is quickest.

Or is the Vette governed at 155?

They do look good on your bike! I didn't even know they existed. I was lucky to get the bike at all. Several sources told me it was the last 07 left in Florida.

Will have to check out the accessory catalog. :-D

Yes to the former, and no to the latter.

ST 10.88 in the quarter about 160 mph??? top speed
Z06 12.50 in the quarter about 172-175 mph top speed

Don't know of any American cars that are speed governed. I know BMWs are.

So, your blue is faster but not as quick as your red.

My governor limited blue is neither as fast or as quick as my red.
To further complicate matters, I am grey and slower than either of them.

It looks like the fastest color debate marches on.
