I would get a very good radar detector.

You could say the same for my yellow 458. I'm not sure if your comment was directed at your opinion of my color choice or at the fact the TTS is real fast.

Don't worry, it's fast enough to outrun any cop car or helicopter.

^...and I believe 458 as well hehe. But on the color OP, I'm personally not up to it. Sorry. I do like it as a showroom piece but so far as own it she's way too much of a showstopper for my personality. But if you like it that's all that really matters. TTS is a great car though. That one I can attest to.

No problem. No need to apologize. It's not your car. Lots of silver and black ones out there. Like I said in previous posts, most Porsche buyers are conservative. Nothing wrong with that. When you own as many cars as I do and go through them quickly, you quickly realize the keepers are the different cars, not the boring mainstream ones. Everyone is different. I am not the majority of course. When I'm driving it and look at the color of the hood, it brings a smile to my face - that's what counts. I have never bought a car thinking what others may think - I buy it for me.

+1

Agreed on all points.

This is part of why I'm obsessed with special colors (such as the Graphite Grey on my 50th), and why if I can help it, I'll only get PTS (for the "keepers"). Granted, my GT2 RS isn't PTS, but I didn't have any choice there (I think there's just a couple PTS 997.2 GT2 RS's worldwide, and none in the US).

I was late to the 991 GT3 party and couldn't pick up a PTS allocation...

As the French say, "chacun a son gout." (each to his own taste) As long as we all love our cars, the world is good.

It certainly is striking. I do like it, just could never see my self in it. Although I have learned to never say never. I also hear you on the usual silver and black. I actually think on this new car that black whilst beautiful does remove the curves and removes the accents which are actually a feature of the turbo. This time I stepped out of my comfort zone and went agate. I went for the discretion with accents you could say.

I also own a 991tt and a 458 both black. Because I like it.
I get tired of loud colors quickly. But that's just me.

I meant that a Birch Green car sticks out. If you are going fast in it you are more likely to get a ticket.

I know I had a red F430 for several years.
