that car upset a few people lets put it that way... A 718 GT4 / Spyder is no joke with some choice mods, the cars are fast and comfortably hang with a 991.2 GT3 RS in a straight line too

I'm certainly not trying to diminish your driver mods Jonny....you could have probably done comparable things in a stock GT4

Didn’t take it that way at all, thanks for the compliments

Stock 718 GT4 did a 2:19.4 at Silverstone GP and in its latest spec we ran a 2:13.8 so there’s huge gains available

Fair enough. Just wondering why it is associated and what cultural norms are at play.

Some famous (and rare) beloved “pinks” in Porsche history.

In a sea of black, white, silver, and gray quite refreshing!

Besides, selling like hotcakes in China.

So you don’t consider soft pink a feminine color, much more popular among women than men?

Wasn't there a certain Big 10 football coach who painted the visitors locker room pink based on a psychological study that viewing pink was calming and reduced feelings of aggression?

That said Frozen Berry is more purple than pink. I’d own it before Python or Shark.

In medival Europe it was a masculine color. I read somewhere that it was Tiffany's around the turn or the century that invented pink being for girls and blue being for boys so that they could sell two times as much baby stuff. It seems that Western culture ran with it. I'm not a fan of the color, although I have a couple pink shirts. I'm just interested in the psyche behind it and why people now associate it with girls.

Honestly, ever since I’ve seen that color it reminds of this 57 Chevy, a same model and color owned by a relative.
