I dunno. Picture yourself at Watkins Glen, on the back straight, looking in your rearview mirror and seeing a signal green twin-supercharged 928 with 315s on all corners with a full ground-effects kit about to run over you. You gotta admit that signal green is a getthephuckouttamyway color

Worf my friend ... the getthephuckouttamyway colour is the colour that Godzilla turns people's shorts when they hear 350 horses SCREAMING THEIR F-ING HEADS OFF in their rear view mirrors DEMANDING that whatever it is GET THE BLOODY HELL OUT OF MY WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did this with a Dodge TR4 last weekend.

So ... white, black, peuce, mauve or haute ... it depends on the *****.

I won't argue with you there. But for a street car, could you live with this? Sorry no 928's that I could find, maybe for a good reason.

Cobalt,

The owner of my gym back in the late 80's had a 911 the same color. We called it Grasshoppa Green!!

Looks like an M&M!!!

You know the Fort Lauderdale orphanage has this really cute boy named Normy (who already owns an S2 and flies 747's for a living) who would be PERFECT for you!

N!

I had a Weissgold '85 S with Braun ALL leather interior. As for rarity I never knew, but it was a great car until the day it was taken from me!

So true of the pearl coats - the midnight blue below can have the iridescence of a peacocks feathers in bright sunlight -or fade to a dull purple: at other times, it comes off as a crisp metallic black ..... but not all bad when it's wet. I'd like to see it on a 928 too - in my garage

The warmth of a diamond copper brown metallic still pleases me - think it's a keeper.

chad,
