Default Do you like silver rose?

some people think it's a "mary kay" color... others, think it's one of the most badass colors out there.

So... lets see who likes it, and who's jealous

And here's a glory shot...

It takes a secure man to drive a pink car.

I'm not a real big fan of it, but I don't hate it either; I do hate the interior that came on those cars though. If there was a silver rose car with a linen/light gray interior, I'd like it alot better.

hmm burgundy interior is much better than the plaid cloth for sure, but its still not a pleasing interior color to my eye, but then again I'm really picky - I like light gray/linen/champagne interiors, and black is ok. Fortunately its what is pleasing to your eye that matters, and any (running) 951 ought to make its owner happy

I think it looks great, especially with the plaid.

Its not just about the color alone but the meaning behind it. You can take a look at a fleet of stock 951s...you see the two or three silver rose cars and KNOW they're special...you KNOW they're faster...you KNOW they're the ones you want to drive immediately. That's why porsche did it, and that's why I like it.

What was special about them performance wise? Were they just the first turbo-s's?

Larger brakes, K26/8 turbo, beefed up suspension and a few other things I think
