This might sound like a silly question...

but do Monster Stickers really make cars faster? They supposedly transfer energy to your car via the paint the same way nicotine patches and racing stripes work. I'm looking for a way to increase my KW and this seems the simplest solution.

I can't find any conclusive evidence of this though and I don't want to invest in the stickers before I know they'll definitely work.

I always thought they mostly had an effect on the volume of your sound system.

Monster doesn't work as well as others. I saw a Fiat Palio leave an I5 in the dust and all it had was 2 Venom on the windscreen and 3 HKS stickers on the side.

I have probably close to 50 of those stickers in different colours as well as 3 metal ones. They all in a drawer at home. No way I will ever post a sticker on anything I own. Unless it's a sticker related to a PC. Like core stickers, Ram stickers, GPU tickers and the likes. Done to look professional though. Windows key always at the bottom out of sight :D

False, red cars are the slowest since red has the highest wavelength. Violet cars on the other hand...

You need racing stripes, each adds at least 100kws.

Also, since Red Bull gives you more energy than Monster, it follows that Red Bull stickers would make your car go faster than Monster stickers. That's science!

Anyone that pops a monster sticker on their car is bound to drive faster than someone that doesn't. So to answer your question, yes it does make the vehicle faster.

Of course they do - they add an extra 15 km/h to the car in each gear, including reverse, so your car really moves when you use the sticker.

The sticker also makes it possible for other road users to know you are an idiot.

I blame Gymkhana

I saw someone this morning who even makes himself look like an idiot to other Monster sticker users..

He had the monster sticker on the top of his back windscreen, and the sticker backing with the monster sticker taken out on the bottom...

Ideal sticker placement is just above each exhaust to get optimum power output.

You can almost see those stickers sucking the exhaust out faster. I hope he upgraded the brakes before putting them there.

Perfect example of correlation that does not imply causation :)
