I'm not a bright color guy nor do I like red all that much. But Guards Red in particular has a pull on me. I love that color and have had both a '83 SC and a '98 C4S in GR. I ordered my T in GT Silver but am wondering if GR may have been a better choice. But I'm 48 and don't want to look like a rolling cliche when I drive it...

Imo Speed Yellow was the best yellow Porsche has painted a car with.

I love my Speed Yellow car and specifically sought this color out. This is my daily and after owning only muted colors before, I love this thing.

^ Lol. That rolling cliche thing occurred to me from time to time as I drove into the local market in a Guards Red GT4 with a big wing on the back—but I liked the car so much that I just didn't care. Plus, someone has to add a little color to the world, and I came to realize I probably owe at least a little of my enthusiasm for cars to people who drove the unusual and/or flashy cars I saw as a boy. Genetics and car magazines probably did the heavy lifting, but I still remember the 512bb on the Bay Bridge, the various 911s of the East Bay, a green D-Type in the Berkeley Hills, and so many other indelibles...

Love my RY car. I smile every time I open the garage. It also gets a lot of positive comments from car people since so few Porsches these days are in bright colors.

Agreed. Look at car colors on your way home tonight.............shades of silver, black and white. Yellow is awesome. Stands out.

Yep. I've been noticing it here in the Golden State for years now. The roads, freeways, and streets are a sea of silver, gray, black, and white. I like all of those...particularly gray...but ANY color stands out these days, and I am always thankful when I see a cool color on the road. Really pops.
