Everyone know the red paint is where the 5 HP came from. Almost as good as a sticker!

It’s more about that crinkle paint they used,
It helps with the air flow the same way the dimples on a golf ball gets distance.

I often wonder how much faster I could go if I repaint the whole car in Crinkle red.
Had a hard time getting one can of it.
How many do I need to do it all?

Anyone here done that?

Just park it under an Acorn tree. Been done already but they just don`t know. Plus he wants to pay money now to make it slower again.
