Default PTS Colors and a Turbo S

So..in the GT forum and to a certain extent the 991 forum - PTS colors appear to be pretty popular. Not so much from a brief search in the turbo forum? Any reason why?

Also, anyone done a PTS color that you can share? I'm looking at Voodoo Blue or Grigio Telesto.

Thx in advance!

It could be us TT/TTS types are more conservative. Unlike the wild bunch over in the GT section.

GT cars are more weekend and/or track day toys. So wild, lollipop, Crayola colors are not as gauche as they would be on a daily driver, which is what most people use the TT/TTS for.

This-^.

My winter-DD is Orange. And boy am I tired of that. You can't do anything in an Orange car without p1$$1ing someone off.

A Pastel Orange TTS would be an awesome weekend toy. But, as a DD? Will the Exclusive Department do an Armored Version?

I like the conservative/classic approach.

Nice color! What is it?

IMHO, the amber side markers should be swapped out for clear.

Vive la difference -- I want the amber side markers on my (awaited) night blue metallic. Then again, I'm partial to orange -- my Vette is inferno orange metallic, which is actually a much saner and prettier color than the name suggests.

I could not agree more AviBen, if we all liked the same configurations it would be a much more boring world. My BIL has a Vette in that color, a very nice looking car.
