Red things just seem to go faster. In fiction, make something red and you can almost guarantee it'll move quicker, as if the ''colour itself'' [[Artistic License Physics|reduces drag, lowers inertia and increases forward momentum]]. A visual shorthand for getting the point across that an object is zippy.
 
[[Truth in Television]]: Red apparently [http://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/color-red.html promotes adrenalin release] and [http://psychology.about.com/od/sensationandperception/a/color_red.htm feelings of excitement or intensity], which can certainly give the ''appearance'' that a red object is moving faster, as well as possibly encourage the drivers of red vehicles to push the envelope more. Also, the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_Effect:Doppler Effect|Doppler Effect]] makes things red-shifted if they're moving ''away'' from you at a high speed (read:significant factor of C). Don't expect there to be any evolutionary basis for this, however, as it's unlikely any human would ever get to see it with the naked eye.
 
[[Suspiciously Specific Denial|Not at all related]] to [[Red Herring]]. Obviously belongs within the [[Amazing Technicolor Index]].
