I guess I need a Tangerine, Signal Yellow, Indigo, and Barney RS to round it all out!

Thanks!
Funny but you know they are all different.
996 is just explosive when those turbos kick in..... but despite the "widow maker" name, on the street its a nice machine, you don't have to rev it out to squirt through traffic.
991 is so fast, you can only get 1 or 2 seconds of actual speed before you need to get out of it, can't wait to put this thing on the track....... The shifts, OMG, I haven't run it past 7K and it just goes bonkers there, I can't image what 9K sounds and feels like.
997 is just a sweetheart of a car. Has so much personality, gravelly idle, super direct steering, and the sound of a race car.........
Its funny but I picked up the 991 on Friday so experienced a brand new GT3, never had one and love it. Then I had to collect the 997 from the dealer on Sunday (Had a leaking cyl head, thankfully under warranty). I was without it for over a month so it was like experiencing a new car and I can honestly say it just has so much more emotion than the 991. I know the 991 is faster and its totally cool, especially in Green, I'm shocked at how many people ask me to roll down a window to talk about it, but that blue car is really cool........
But I'm sure I just have to get the speed up on the 991 to really appreciate what she has to offer.......

Even on the road I'm finding better ways to enjoy it, but you don't drive it the same as you would a more traditional 911.......
