Why would they offer more than one color, $25k for heritage and another $13k for PTS!

Like the Soviet store window sign said: "If you don't see what you want, want what you see". And for $300K no less.

This would also be my choice.
But a Speedyellow Speedster would be great also.

Agreed, too fast and much too furious for a $300+ car.

If you can have the Heritage package in truly heritage paint schemes - like the photos posted in another thread (e.g. Gulf Blue/Gulf Orange/Brewster Green, etc.) - then Heritage. Otherwise seems tacky to me, especially since some of the features I liked the most on the concept were castrated for final production (center fuel tank, mirrors, headlights).

Plus they got rid of those cool new wheels.

At least in pictures the heritage scheme looks awful, but I would guess many will opt for it. Calling it heritage has to make it way more collectible. The red car looks great though. I would be more comfortable with a red one flanked by two more red ones out on the street than I would be a heritage flanked by two reds. For me differentiation is nice as a secondary factor or a tiebreaker, but the heritage fails a primary factor test of being easy on the eyes. But I don't think that helps you at all based on your criteria and request, so...

Based on the GT3RS production number stats thread, Lizard Green the most selected color by a clear margin, and Weissach package is also more common than non-WP (and that despite the fact that WP wasn't available for all builds). That's only one model, but in that case it indicates that the "special" options have a higher take rate.

based on how the other heritage car was received new compared to years later, I would go with heritage. I actually like it on the Porsche

Won't you be able to delete the gumballs like you can the model info, etc (maybe even a free delete)?

I'm with you on getting a color, but if you want the heritage front, it seems like you could do it without the stickers.

I’m sure you can peel off the stickers you don’t want.
