From the beginning I wanted a red GT3. As the time came to order, I started to chicken out, afraid it would be too showy. I flipped to Agate and then GT silver; my first order was actually for GT. I love silver cars; have owned BMW's, Mercedes, Audis, and 3 Porsches in silver. Then I went to the Monterey Historics and saw all the colors on display. Every time I saw a red 911 it was just like, wow. Came home and changed my order to GR.

We're all saying it, and it sounds like a cliché, but the reason the color choice is so difficult on this car is that it's such a beautifully executed design that almost any color you see on it can't help but look good. Regardless of color, I don't think that anyone will be disappointed when their car shows up.

We are all bias fan boies, however, I have yet to see this car in any colour where it doesn't look fantastic.

And it's beyond annoying that Porsche aren't offering them here yet...I know much discussed and debated here but it does penalize those of us that are buying the new model as it's introduced.

Totally agreed. But I'm loathe to pass on my early-ish allocation for a later one Bird in the hand. . . .

Totally agree. I haven't seen one I dislike yet. Even the brown.

Welp, because of this thread I switched my order to GT silver. And added the black lights from the regular PDLS. Great. There goes another $4K. :-)
