The mass of 1's and 0's generated by the banter on this forum makes my black iphone noticeably heavier.. I'm buying a white one next time to offset this additional weight.

Red is a great color to not see the yellowing of the clear bra!

Maybe dark blue than?

Still...........

Lol.


Mike! Don't worry.

My wife looking over my shoulder listening to me talk about my slow Carrera S I need to sell and she says "Why don't you get one of those vag*na red ones like that" as she's pointing to your avatar!

Classic! That coming from a middle school teacher with her PhD in education. Go figure.


Cheers.

Made me laugh, Marcus. And it's the otherwise very respectable, highly educated ones that will surprise you....I'm married to one too!

I've seen four 2014 GT3s in MA and RI. 3 black and 1 white.

Alexio. Think you for that awesome clip. I loved that movie as a kid, but totally forgot about that scene.


For the rest of you. I'm most amused by all the white references that so many people have used regarding the national color of Porshce's racing cars, etc.

For some reason, we Americans are obsessed with Germany's national racing color for our Porsches, but the native Germans could care less.

Did you know that the most popular color for 991 GT3s bought and driven by Germans, in Germany is actually black? And that silver is the second most popular color for German owned 991 GT3s? White isn't even one of the top two colors for Germans, who don't care about their own national racing color as much as you guys do.

Personally, I'm very happy with my Guards Red, full leather with red stitching
Porsche-Ferrari hybrid 991 GT3.

Definitely faster, than a regular ole stripper white GT3 ;-)

Excellent point. I skipped the mood lighting and skipped the automatic wipers. I "shift" my own wipers, thank you.

However, full leather with red stitching plus the extended dash in leather and stitching look incredible and a bit Ferrari like, which is ok with me for my GT3/458 hybrid.

Most Germans use their GT3s as daily cars, to go fast on the Autobahn.
That is quite different from the use use of most others, who buy a GT3 to have fun on a track.

You can't go wrong with a Guards Red Porsche.
