You must be on Feb build then. I was thinking Mexico blue as well. I tried PTS but it was denied as my allocation was from earlier build even though I am not scheduled for delivery until Mid March. Color is by far the hardest decision but its nice that you can do PTS. I am willing to swap allocation for PTS but dealer does not have any more allocations yet and I dont want to loose my spot. My lock in build date is now pushed out to Dec 9th so if the dealer gets thier new allocation in I am willing to swap spot but time is running out on me.

Color is a tough one. I was set on Sapphire blue but now wondering about PTS (Feb build, should be ok). White was so easy to pick on my 997.

I swapped my #1 allocation spot in hopes of getting PTS. Will probably end up with a March/April build date but not confirmed yet...

Mexico Blue would be easy for me as I have a thing for blue cars (both race cars are blue) but I'm trying to choose something different. We'll see how that goes...

Green...I ordered sapphire blue, blk wheels, blk lights, red stitching. It is supposed to be to my dealer mid January. I'll post pics as soon as I take delivery.

Looks great! Pictures like that make me regret moving to a different country every few years, and not being able to maintain even a decent set of tools because of that. Well, one day...

We also have a similar storage solution; one is the trailer, 2 in the garage (soon to be 3 with the lift) and 2 on the driveway...

I think we've finally made up our minds, will be submitting final (maybe) configuration on Monday. We drove a couple hours south to view Rhodium, Sapphire, Racing Yellow, Agate, GT Silver, Guards and White cars all in one place.

We're going for a Jelly Bean, in Racing Yellow!

I have done yellow before and my family still talks about it. That car got so much attention everywhere we went. It was one of the best color Porsche I have had. Mine was a C2S cab with chocolate top and interior but here is a yellow GT3 for you to enjoy
Cheers

I was debating between guards red and racing yellow. Yellow works really well on GT3, if you are not shy. I ended up choosing red partially because of sentimental feelings - I met my wife driving around picking up girls in red supra, and the GT3 will arrive just before our 10-year anniversary.

Anyway, not to offend anyone, but I just do not get all those discrete colors - if you are getting a flaming excess of a car (if not in price, for sure in capability), why not own it all the way? Racing yellow is great.
