Default What's the fascination with white?

I believe more than 60% of all 991 GT3's are white. What's the deal? No offense - everyone is different, but I really think white weakens the car, and hides the lines. Obviously I am in the minority. Is it a heritage thing or is white truly the color the "pops" for you?

... GT Silver is way better

I think it looks really good. Plus the fact that cups and RSR's are both white underneath the decals (for the most part) may have something to do with it.

White is cup car like.
White is fast.

White is now the most popular color for all cars. The upward trend in popularity has been attributed to the "Apple Effect" so we can thank Steve Jobs.

My original build was GT Silver. I'm not usualy a white car person. However, I changed my mind after a few months of looking around. I love GT Silver and that is my close second choice. Love the fact white is free too.

White is nice. RED is better.

i bought white in 09 and everyone was like "bad choice" now white is the choice..

90% of the cars i've owned were white.. the ones that weren't were only because i couldnt find a white one at the time.


mmmmmm white.

dont want to offend anyone, but i have always grown up thinking silver/gray is for old people. white is neutral. nice classic GT3 color, offsets nicely with LED rear lights, calipers and interior accents. GR is also great but too flashy, or else I would have gotten 458

Sgroer. !

Personally, I'd take a GT3 in any color. Even that lime green car in Germany that was posted a while back.

Light colors like white and silver show all of the curves, edges and design elements more than dark colors actually. The vents, scoops and screens get totally lost on black and dark cars especially at night.

White is an easy go to color. That's why it's so popular. Oh, and the sticker thing too!

May I ask what about racing yellow? I changed from white to that.
