Just wait a couple of years and buy it used. Should be 10 to 15 thousand less than a white or red one!

I don't mind it at all. I just couldn't drive it. Everyone you know could see that car in that color from a satellite in low orbit without a telescope. Definitely not low profile. You'd be that guy with the green GT3 and everyone would know who you were talking about! lol

+1 to what Eduardo said.

But, to answer your question, certainly! I'm not a fan of Macadamia Metallic. I also am not a fan of most silvers (yes, even GT Silver), though I make exceptions in certain cases depending on the car (Carrera GT, McLaren F1).

Dare to be different. I love it.

I'd respectfully disagree with anyone that says that a GT3 in this colour would be worth less than a "standard" colour GT3 a few years down the road. Quite the opposite I bet.

I like the color, not sure about the whole car w/o some contrasting black as others have said. I'm thinking about some stripes or GT3 decals in this color on my yellow GT3. Reminds me of the 74 yellow Carrera ducktail with the light green stripes. Color is a personal choice so I let the other guy live with his choice and I expect him to let me live with my choices. Don't think I'd be so quick to tell someone in person that their color looks like vomit, but it's the internet afterall.....

I'm not a fan of a lot of the stock colors, but especially don't like both Silvers, Sapphire blue and Lime Gold. I also think Racing Yellow is ok at best, but Speed Yellow would be awesome.

The exact opposite will be the case. One Birch green GT3 that may not come up again on the used car lot for years vs. 35 white or red GT3s that are always available and being "played off one another" by potential buyers!

Yeah, you could never park it anywhere that you didn't want people to know you're associated with - e.g., strip clubs, massage parlors, etc. - being purely hypothetical, of course

You're right, I forgot how much more Porsche Racing Green 911's were worth on trade in vs white and red ones.

During our factory tour I saw what I am fairly certain was a Turquoise Blue GT3. Nice looking car. Unfortunately no cameras are allowed in the factory so no pictures.
