Default Lightning, Light Green, Lichtgrün, Birch,...?

Sorry, co-driver said it was Lightning Green on the color chart at ED pick-up hall. Now he says he can't remember if it was any of the colors being thrown out on this thread.
I was amazed at how well the color worked, but did not see or pay attention to color board. (Had a few other things to do.)
I was able to fuse the car pic next to small edit of filming in ED PU hall of color board caught in filming.
Pls excuse the Greek co-driver he was running on maybe a few hours of sleep after traveling across the globe.
We'll call Tillman at Porsche ED tomorrow, and try to get some clarifications on Porsche color codes on both paint and stitching.
Still recovering from ring fun yesterday. Autobahn a treat most of the time. Had to pass on the right, must of been an American.
Thought Mercedes Benz Politzei was going to bust me for pissin' in the bushes at rest stop. He just wanted to switch cars. Haaaha... Gotta love the Germans.





Stopped by Hockenheim today too. <br/>Mercedes or something similar testing Lemans looking car





Winter tires and Turbo wheels on loan from Porsche ED. Still plenty fun on the track, even w 5500 rpm break-in recommended limit.

Track worthy, but might b for a collector





Bright, but works well

Master: We discussed this PTS light yellow RS (plate # MZ*TE 85) over at the 'Reference Guide to PTS' thread back on Nov. 10th:




Post # 1040

I believe its PTS 'Summer Yellow', color code Z21, but we await official confirmation from another knowledgeable source (owner or PAG).

***************

Eduardo Influenced? Perhaps...



That happens to be 'Stone (Wheat) Grey', color code Z67...



Not to be confused with 'Wonder Classic White', color code Y55...





...which features a combo of 'Guards Red', 'Speed Yellow' & 'Navyblau' dots framed in GE refrigerator 'white', which altogether represents
wholesome colors to generations of Americans & deemed a worthy hue for Paint-to-Sample Chevys & Porsches destined for the heartland!

PS Oaktown: Enjoy your European Delivery in your gt3!

Default Lindau and halfway thru Alpine road(s) route to Salzburg.

Lindau beautiful. Note: take the wife next time.

Autobahn, side roads, and back roads fantastic. Note: send the wife shopping or to her favorite vacation spot.

Haven't seen one pothole. Roads seemed to b manicured like a country club golf course.
They r working on roads constantly, (this time of year?), and that can b a bit dicey rolling the GT3's wide rear in the temporary narrow left lane passing the MAN trucks. But, as u get to know this Swiss time piece of a car, confidence grows.
We're at 2,100km mark. According to Tillman and Andreas 6,000rpm is ok now. Soon 7K, and then unlimited.
Wow!
I cannot even imagine as it is so rewarding now.
Blasting through the gears is an audible treat. Can't stop laughing. And then in the tunnels with the windows down...hahaaa...I'm a teenager in an (old) F1 at Monaco. Lol!
The power and sweet spot seems to be endless.
Stopped in yet another little town off the beaten track. Incredible food and hospitality. Apfel Strudl would make the Austrian grandmother raise from the grave and Prost.



Lindau. Bring ur wife and credit cards.





Made for the GT3
