I used to want a black 911, but silver hides the dirt better.

Ok, Ok, I'll stop messing around Denny. I just think black looks better on Porsches for some reason?

Love black but can't deal with cleaning it all the time.

Polar Silver:

I think black accentuates the beautiful shape of our cars better than silver, but it also shows off dirt like no other colour. And black cars get VERY hot in the summer.

I would have gone for silver, if I could choose again.

It is a pretty car in black though....

IMHO is black is the best color on a 993. The problem is it only looks great on the showroom floor or immediately after it's detailed. When shopping for the 993tt I was open as far as the exterior color. I would have bought any exterior color as long as the interior was black.

I like Silver. The first one was a 1971 911E Coupe, (photo was taken in December of 1971) and the latest is a 07 997 Coupe
