I love racing yellow. Much better than speed yellow.
But I may be biased.
I have a great time getting out of it, no matter the venue. Of course, I have a much better time getting back into it.

As it has been pointed out, 'Fly Yellow' is a Ferrari Color. If you meant to say that 'Speed Yellow' is not a favorite color of yours, then no worries mate since 'Racing Yellow' is quite different!

In my opinion, one of the most striking Porsche colors was 'Signal Yellow' from the early 911 period in the seventies!

Photo #1 - PTS 'Speed Yellow' Spyder of JSF101 vs 'Racing Yellow' 991S cab at the '12 PCA Parade!

Photo #2 - 'Speed Yellow' 996 gt3 vs 'Racing Yellow' 991S cab at Miller Park, Utah!

Photo #3 - 'Fly Yellow' Ferrari 458 Spider at Laguna Seca in 2012!

Photo #4 - Original Paint 'Signal Yellow' 1973 911T Coupe I used to own!

Best of luck with your 991 factory delivery this year...and Happy 50th!

Saludos,
Eduardo

I just saw racing yellow on the Cayman at the auto show. My reaction (mirrored by friends who went with me) was that is is stunning in person. It had a lot of depth for a non metallic color and avoided looking too plastic like. I would still be afraid of getting pulled over every day, but it's definitely not a color I would tire of. It's so hard to tell how good it really is in pictures, you really should find a dealer that has a car with it in stock.

I came very close to getting yellow. It looks great in person. The one I wanted was a base 911 at a very good price but I want the S now.

Late to the party, but if I repaint/wrap, this is the color I would wish for on my cab. Racing yellow is just stunning, IMO.

I had a 987 CS in Speed Yellow and a 981 CS in Racing Yellow... and I just traded the 981 today. I lived with a yellow Porsche for 8 years and loved every minute. Would highly recommend yellow... its a head-turner and it just makes you feel good behind the wheel. Just ordered a Miami Blue CGTS 4.0.

I was reading the first few posts and didn't realize it was started over 8 years ago.
