Default Question on Special Edition orange '08
Could use some info on the special edition Box that P did (I believe in '08), that mimicked the '07g orange GT3 RS design...
was that car only an RS model, 6 spd,...and how many were made?
TIA

Pretty much a standard Boxster S painted orange and loaded to the gills.

I love the orange on the GT3 RS. Fits the car nicely. Not so crazy about the orange Boxsters.
