What is the faster color?

Hello,

I'm going to buy a hhr, but i'm not sure which color to get. It's between red and blue. I like them both. So, I thought I'd buy which ever one is faster. I think it would be red, right? I mean, Ferarri's and Corvette's are pretty much all red. I would think the designers would have tested all colors, and found red to be the fastest.

So please, give me your opinion on which one is faster

Thanks!

Also, I'm going to be having kids soon. Is it true that the hhr is not compatable with baby seats?

Huh? Don't trust that source!

The HHR does have the anchors or latches, or whatever they are called in the rear seats for car seats.

I guess as long as you make sure it's an SS HHR, it really doesn't matter?

Red is faster...'til you get pulled over. Blue with baby seats is faster overall 'cause who's gonna pull over a mellow looking car with baby seats? They'll clock you at a hundred and say, "Naaah, he aint going that fast." ;-)

Well I have been pulled over 3 times so far in my life. Once was for speeding (+20 over in a construction zone, woops), and it was a silver dodge neon (without baby seats). Another time was for running a red light in the same car. And the other was for driving under the influence (I was 18 and stupid) and that was my mom's beige minivan. So I don't know if color and baby seats will help me not get pulled over! (Maybe I could rely on my newly purchased "assets" to get me out of a jam if need be)

Soon you won't be able to afford a fast car. With tickets, DUI's, car payments, high insurance and babies....

'Arrest me red' color!

Red's always been presumed to be a "sportier" color, so Victory Red it should be! (and YES I'm partial to the SS model. I wonder why?)
