To the question of white, I think it looks great on a GT3 or RS. Certainly a popular color but wouldn't let that deter you if it is what you want. What worked for me was seeing these cars in person and getting to experience that initial reaction to it, both style, color, options, etc. There was a time depending on your location you could see blue, red, orange, white, silver, etc. in the same showroom. Supply is more limited now so that could be tough. Nevertheless, regardless of what you read and pictures you see, for me that is what I needed. This is one of the reasons I have a LO RS. I walked into my local dealership years ago and they had one pre-sold roped off. I knew then I would buy that exact car. They were 20K or more over MSRP at that time so I waited. Keep doing your research and find the car that gives you that reaction. The rest is easy after that as you just find the one you want when the time is right. FWIW, given where the barely used .1RS is moving these days, it really is a lot of car for the money.

Same - in the process of buying one right now and the first test was my driveway with FAL engaged. My 991.1 C2 and 964 clear it barely using the 3 wheel "method" so I was a little worried until I tested it out. I couldn't own a GT car without it, just not possible.

New owner here. So far the car has exceeded my expectations. I was lucky to find one that met my desired configuration. Missed out on a nice silver example out East because I couldn't move fast enough. Be ready when you find your car to pull the trigger! Living in MI I use the FAL all the time. Need it for my driveway, pulling off and entering main roads and that parking lot that you shouldn't have pulled into.

Very pleased with my purchase.

White is fastest.

Traditional Porsche motorsport color.
