I personally would vote for UV. I just feel as much as I think GT is a great colour, for the RS you need something a bit more special and I feel UV does that well.

My 1st Porsche was Silver. Still have it and the color never gets old. UV is special though. Good luck. Can't go wrong either way

My gt4 is gt silver, after 8 months I'm underwhelmed and miss my former Aqua blue. The RS should wear its special colors IMO so I say go with UV and those bright silver wheels. Yellow brakes and stitches.

Uv, white are the best colors

Pt silver was once a premium color. No more. There are tons of pt silver, more than rhodium silver on the 991.2

GT silver is a perfect color for an understated, yet elegant regular 911

GT3s/RSs are not regular 911s and getting the GT cars in silver instead of a jelly bean or other intense color like UV only creates a mixed visual message........ (in your face car, owned by meek owner)

Get the UV!

I haven't had a chance to see it in person (only seen white and LO), not sure if seeing it in real life would push me to change.

And yes I know color is a very personal choice and everyone has an opinion, just wondering if anyone had the same color preferences as I do and chose UV?

Also, anyone in the Northeast US or NYC area with UV that wants to show and tell?

I am looking at both gt silver and u/v right now....I just joined tonight to be able to see what the census is....I was unaware they were still building these cars, thought they were all built and delivered. I will be trading my 15' white gt3 with 800miles.....my local dealer has a 20mile u/v they are aggressively trying to get me to buy, but they only want to give me $130k for my trade which is 10-12k under value

and wants $50k over sticker! consider yourself very lucky you have a build coming at list price! Chicago motor cars will give me $142.5 for my car but is firm on $270k for their u/v. I have a local guy that has a 800mile gt silver rs that will take 240k for his car and give me 140k for mine.....so gt silver makes financial sense, but the u/v in person is awesome!! my only dilemma is matte blk wheels or silver??
