I like Shark on the non-GT cars. On GT+ cars I love the red. Don't ask me to show my work on this because I can't. I just really think red suits the RS cars especially.

You can't go wrong. I saw a Guards Red 718 Spyder the other day and it looked phenomenal so I think I'd lean towards that with the Weissach package.

Funny, I find I go the opposite way as you. I dislike shark on non-GT cars as it is so loud (VW has cornflower that they use on SUVs and Toyota has a similar blue that I have seen on Tacomas etc.) and a base Carrera or Cayman will draw someone's attention and then they they turn away when they realize they looked for nothing.

That being said, the Red makes the RS pop and means business. My same logic works for SB as red or yellow. Fast cars demand fast colors and slow or non-special cars in fast color are like wearing a Wonderbra.

Red? Blue? Meh.

Personally I find that GT+ cars needs to have a more "serious" color - the new gray of the SRS is amazing in my opinion

Shark blue, but ditch those horribly tacky black wheels with the yellow pin stripe.

This might be the most Rennlist stereotypical ridiculous answer I’ve ever seen in this forum

Not sure how my response was class-less... I actually thought I was doing you a favour letting you know they look utterly horrible.
