So I’m curious why black doesn’t seem to get much love. Just wondering what others see/don’t see.
Personally, I have ordered my GT4 in black and absolutely love it.. the only other color I was thinking of was chalk but wished it was a darker shade or two.
Nice, very nice. Black is sharp but a PITA to keep looking clean. On my last black car I did a paint correction, added PPF, and put a ceramic coating on the PPF. Was super easy to clean.
Like the spec, other than you didn't option the buckets.

thanks for the feedback! Buckets I intend to retrofit when I can get the custom option in a few years!
In the meantime I want to be able to bring my baby daughter for drives with Pappa’
im excited by the spec it feels like a version of the bat mobile lol
After seeing 911_Joe’s pictures I’ve become smitten with the color. I figure that if I was going to have a mistress she’d be a pita, so as of now I’m all in for black.
I love black cars, but having owned a couple of black cars in the past, I no longer have the time nor desire to keep it pristine. I still prefer darker colors, so GB was perfect for me.
I contemplated black with yellow accents also but finally went with GB since I find it diificult to keep clean and the black accent/details dont show as much. But I will be jealous when I will see a black one for sure!
Seems
most people just have an aversion to keeping it clean? My last Porsche (981 BS) was black and I didn’t mind it as it was garages and not a daily driver.. which would be the same here.
Bit I’m talking purely esthetics here.. where do we rate it vs chalk for example? I do agree in some light the black hides the details but I also have seen pics such as this where it looks FasF (don’t ask what the stands for - simply read ‘good’).

Black is on an entirely different level than chalk. Chalk is a cool fad, while black is an epic journey/life long term commitment. A timeless religion that requires complete devotion and gives moments of extreme pleasure in return.
I stray and then get pulled back in every 5-7 years or so. My wife begged me to spec the Spyder/GT4 in black, she thinks it is THE only color for a Porsche. But I just couldn't do it this time. I'm sure I'll pray at the altar again someday.

If you've never had a black car, ask yourself this: how obsessively do you clean your current cars? Because having a black one is going to amplify that a lot.
You either hate or love black, there's not really an in-between.
