Sat in the car at Geneva yesterday. Impression in person: stunning and a lot more presence than my GT3 with wider body, wing, vents and bright orange paint. Love the integrated look of the Orange stitching. I wouldn't order it with the Orange seat panels. New, smaller, steering wheel is better IMO. New paddles are slightly smaller and interestingly with much shorter throw. Gear lever is, despite some pics, identical to GT3. GT3 looks clean and elegant in comparison but I'm annoyed there's clearly a better car out there now that I can't get hold of!!!

I think the yellow looks better - I actually prefer the lighter blues (Mexico/Riviera) on the regular GT3 and darker ones (especially Voodoo) on the RS. I'm a huge Green car fan (Viper and Birch in particular) but Voodoo would be up there for me along with Signal Yellow. I actually prefer Racing over Speed Yellow as Racing has a lot of green to it in person.

Totally agree on the preference of RY over SY solely b/c of the slight green tint to it.

In my opinion; every one should agree on (1) PTS color and pool together and ask Porsche( very nicely and Professionally) if they can do it. If 100 people requested a color, together, I think they would consider it very much. I have seen the power of this forum. Agree on (1) PTS color and ask Porsche for ~$5000 upcharge to do it.
