Air?

Sorry guys, just had to do it ! So many threads about closing and opening doors and people disliking the Turbo!

Here's some bait in the thread title, but you do not have to bite.

Have a nice day!

I will give you a 100k for yours since you don't like it and I already have one. LOL.

Every time I see your avatar (991TurboS), I start second guessing my agate gray and think maybe I should have ordered GT Silver...

It needs to suck. How else will it get all the air to feed and cool that beast of an engine?

We all get tempted by hamburger once in awhile, but just remember you have steak at home.

I know we all like variety, but there is no better color than Agate Gray.

The silver colors were very popular and prolific in the 90s and I got tired of them so I went with an AG and have been enamored. Everyone who seesmy car in person makes two comments:

The color (dark gray as they say)
The CL Wheels with the yellow brakes (as they say).

My next P Car will be the Speed Yellow.

I like agate gray a lot as well, but GT Silver is my favorite color, and why is because my dream car has always been the Carrera GT, and my vision of it has always been in the color developed specifically for it. So that is why I picked GT Silver for my TTS.

But truth be known, I could prolly live with white, agate gray, black, rhodium, guards red or others, but not yellow or green.

Love the GT silver - awesome color. But I've already ticked that box and needed a change. Agate is the new king for me. No regrets at all with the agate and it shows off the black accents on the turbo body really well.

I considered SY...that is an awe-inspiring color when you mix it with lots of black accents...black glass roof....and then the yellow rotors and yellow seat belts and yellow thread throughout...crazy hot... but I don't think it could 'fit-in' as well as AG for my daily driver

GT is stunning and it was either/or for me..AG won in the end cause it is a little 'stealthier'....just a little...

I could live very happily with any color except maybe the brown metallic...that seems more of an SUV/4 door color to me IMO.

The contrast was a big plus moving me in the AG direction...also I tint my windows super dark and I think they blend better with the AG..

Order 'locked' 10 days ago so there is no turning back...I WILL do a GT Silver someday...actually, next P will be either the GT Silver or the Lava Orange (w/ orange deviated stitching on EVERY piece of leather inside.)

I told him it's a ballzy color because you WILL be noticed, lol

I have always wanted a bright yellow but backed off at the last minute.

The next P Car will be much more flamboyant than AG.
