There is no bad choice--go with your gut and your heart. (That said: UV, LO, white, GT.)

GT silver or UV, I really like the UV and bought one for my wife but really like GT silver. I think GT is the most "blend in" and likely to have the fewest paint correction issues.

White if you want to do a bunch of stickers- martini wrap etc.

Lava...well, some people love it.

GT Silver

Ages the best. And the rarest.

Well the funky colors are certainly fun. But I think this car in white with the right specification - silver wheels, ceramic brakes, etc. Will be very timeless and have broad appeal

I was set on GT Silver until I saw sgroers LO. Lava may be the most "common" color, but this car so deserves it. As it was brought to my attention, whilst GT Silver is beautiful and elegant and looks graceful and gorgeous, the RS is an in your face car and loud LO suits it to a tee! It gets my vote.

I wasn't sure about Lava Orange when I ordered the car, but I don't like purple cars and white and silver don't appeal to me, so it was the one I chose but wasn't really sure that the color was going to be OK. Buying an orange car that's $200k seemed a bit wacky.

For work I'm in Weissach every couple of months (Flach end of the Werke) and have seen all the cars parked together a few times, so that helped but I was worried.

When the car showed up, I was sold. It's a great match for the car's personality and after 20 years of black and grey cars, it's a hoot to have an orange RS.

They are all great colors. My favorite is LO. It was the launch color for the car too. PAG picked it for a good reason for the launch car. It is striking in LO.

People trip over themselves to get a 997.1 GT3 in orange and green.

It is such an in your face car it deserves an in your face color IMHO.

Congratulations!

I was between white and LO. I had even configured mine white, but then I visited the dealer and they had a LO there.

I went LO ...

Congrats! I am between UV and GTS and can't decide so can't give advice except both look great on the car. Enjoy!

Now that we have consensus on the color...NOT... can we talk about LWB's.

Car will be tracked up to 6 times per year and Daytona is an option so LWB's solve 6 point harness issue. However, they are a bit tight and more importantly the lack of rake adjustment seems problematic with a helmet. Can the trackrats comment on driving position issues w helmet. Rented a GT3 last year at the Ring and felt pushed forward in LWB's w helmet.

Thx

LWB is also a no brainer IMO.

Depends on your height, torso length etc.

I would try them before ordering.
