Jad,

Beautiful car! Can't wait to see it at the track...at least for half a lap before you take off.: - )

My GBM at PEC Atlanta for the 70th Anniv event; valet parked at the Solis. The color receives compliments on every trip.
Same here! Everyone who sees my GBM always states and asks "Wow! What color is that?"

In person, it's really both classy and sporty.... the common comment is "It's beautiful" so I won't disagree.



It's a hue that has chameleon-like effects too.... mostly gray, sometimes blue but always stunning especially in person.

Default GBM is the best!

Your GT3.2 looks stunning! Congrats! I will be taking delivery in Stuttgart of a nearly identical build spec on 6 July. Your car has made me even more excited to finally take delivery.

I've seen a GBM GT3 or two on the road- that color and the Sapphire Blue present MUCH better in person than in pictures, imo. Enjoy it, sir.

I have to disagree with this statement, I thought the color looks equally as great in pictures

I went to my dealer specifically to buy a manual GBM 911S and was very disappointed to find out that it sold just before I got there. I had to buy a very red GT3 to console myself. I think I would've peed in my shorts if I'd seen your car sitting there. IMHO, GBM is an ideal blend of classical, modern and badass. Congratulations!

congratulations, great looking car
and don't feel bad about this hobby
I have the addiction worse than you, and strangely enough, like yourself, started with an E92 M3 , Inerlagous Blue
and now waiting for .2 GT3RS , and way too many cars in between

How did you color fill your 4.0 recess on your wing? I've been looking for ways to do this but haven't found anything. I'm assuming you did vinyl numbers. Looks great!

Your new 'battleship' is hot. Graphite is a cool choice. Congrats.

Thanks Chi! Hope you are well. Look forward to seeing you at the track too!

Also, thanks everyone for all the kind words about my GBM. I had seen several posts with people talking about GBM being a blah color. Actually I think GT3’s in any color look incredible. I will miss my GR .1. GR has always been a such a classic Porsche color too me. My dad still has his 87 turbo that he got when I was in high school.

Kind of partial GBM myself.

GR isn't a bad choice either, although it's pretty common in this area.
