Voodoo Blue falls between Maritime and Mexico. A good choice if you want to go a little darker without picking up too much red (purple).

Mexico Blue is pretty special. Looks great on the 991 GT3 in the picture above.

Mexico blue is hot and what I would have done if I had a PTS car. DOITDOITDOIT.

Maritime is too purple IMO.

Riviera is great but for some reason I like it better on older porsches. Can't really explain it. It would be a great choice though.

Voodoo. . . some picture make it look great others so so.

I guess I've always like Mexico since Larry (on this board) got his 997 GT3 in Mexico. It's a hot car.

I really love the way my guards complements the 991 GT3 chassis and is still the favorite of the regular colors, but PTS I'd be looking hard at the same colors you are.

White. Great for the hard core track crowd that wants to make believe they are driving a cup car and make vroom vroom sounds as they fall asleep at night. But if that's not you then don't do white.

It's a GT3. Go with a skittle color.

Too many whites out there. Go bold or go home.

Mexico blue is the obvious choice because of it's history with the 73 RS. I do like Voodoo, but isn't this a Toyota FJ cruiser color? I also like Maritime as well. What about requesting a feasibility check on a blue no one has done before?

Either Rivieara or Mexico. I personally prefer the darker tone Mexico.

After I bought my .2 GT3 in white, around a month later popped a Mexico blue .2 GT3 with yellow stitches, buckets, and PCCB on the forum for around the same price I paid for my car and I was devastated...

Good luck and congrats!

You mean mine is NOT a cup car? For real? Oh nooooo... You are wrong, Mr, and I will slap on a "cup" emblem to prove it.

If you go white I'll trade your PTS slot for mine and you can get your car sooner. Let me know...

Mexico.

I don't get this 'white for track' thing. I'd get agate for track. Hides rubber marks better.

for me, white wouldn't be about the track... there is just something that looks very clean and hot wheels toy-like to me about the gt3 in white..maybe its the contrast with all the black accenting and accessories, etc. Not sure. But it just looks so sporty. And I think it really accentuates the lines of the GT3. Honestly, its probably my favorite color on the car. The main reason I am thinking mexico is because my current GT3 is white (do something different) and because I like having a car that's a little different/distinct...its a weekend only car, so not worried about daily drivability either. All the feedback is helpful, I am going to make a final decision tonight over wine and lock in.

If you have the opportunity to do PTS, take it. If you get bored with it, I'll trade you my RS for it..., maybe.
