Good guess, Silver!

Correct.

**********

'Signal Green' MY2015 gt3. One of the ten done in that
PTS color. None of the these 'SG' gt3s got specced with
LWB seats by PAG. Initial PCNA car that was part of IMSA
races since Porsche was a sponsor. Driven 'softly' at all
IMSA races for demo laps in 2015. Interesting history...

Anyone going for Brewster this go-around? I don't think I've ever seen a GT3 in Brewster, RS & R yes, but never on a plebeian GT3 in this toned down green shade. I find that GT3 isn't as fantastic in pure jelly bean colors as in the RS for example, where loud is better.

I think the more subdued hues fit the GT3 better. I love this brewster green color because it fades to black in low light, and looks amazing with contrasting black accents like wheels and lights.. with the extra black bits on this new GT3, like wingtips etc.. mmmm baby!

I'm thinking of doing Oak Green or Aventurine Green if the build is in the PTS window. Leaning towards Oak as it reads as green-er than Aventurine. Never seen an Oak GT3 so thinking it would be cool.

Except I believe his is wrapped and not a true PTS, such as yours.

Agree the more extreme colors look best on an RS compared to a GT3.

I think the Brewster green would look great on a GT3.

Correct. Still going strong. I'd do it (wrap) again in a second. Although might do real PTS Mexico if opportunity arrives on my .2 RS.

Getting a PTS slot is like winning the lottery. Guess I'm not getting one.

One you pay $7,000 - deal with months of wait and frustration to maybe have a car that is worth $10,000 more if you don't drive it.

The other you pay $1 and walk away with $100mm+.

I know which one I would rather have

No, I don't. To my knowlege PCNA has not
published a list of PTS colors ordered by US
clients for their gt3s or for any other Porsche
model. They know it, of course. Germans
keep records of everything they do (it cost
them dearly at the Nuremberg Trials 1945/6
).

But it's not something that Porsche has been
willing to disclose to the public. And your other
source is various posts here at Rennlist, although
that is not the complete universe of gt3 owners
in the US. Will Lee also has an Instagram on
PTS, but it's not limited to US market cars:

OK then, I am not saying what PTS color I will choose if given the PTS slot

Nothing says "I'm a CPA who only types in Times New Roman" like Aventurine Green. Go with Oak.

I thought most CPA's typed in the following
font:



And went only for 'Maroon' colors on their
Oldsmobiles:
