It is the fastest and hardest to care for!
Viper green is a color that pops if you go PTS. Have you thought about wrapping the car if the color is your main reason for wanting to make a move? I know your talking about Cab to coupe but didn't know what the primary driver was.

Well, here I go again. C2S on order, Carmine Red with Black interior, end of August cut-off. However I am second guessing myself with the color selection. Carmine looks absolutely great in the sun, however in the shade it looks darker than I really like (but might be OK), and for me Guard's Red has too much orange in it...just personal observations and obviously opinions vary.
So while I will likely keep the order with Carmine, I've got the Blues. That is, I really like a lot of the PTS blues, and am having the SA check into where Porsche is currently with PTS orders. Maybe I'll get lucky and my timing will be right. So if continue with the Blues, my once favorite Miami Blue is out as it looks just a little too turquoise for me. I do like Mexico, Riviera, Voodoo, and Nogaro Blue, however I have never seen any of them in person. Nogaro might be like Carmine for me, great in the sun but too dark otherwise. Voodoo would likely be my first choice followed by Mexico. I took a quick peek at Maritime Blue but in photos it appears to have a bit of lavender in it which is not my favorite. Sure wish the other blues mentioned were close by. Dealer does not have samples of any of them nor would I expect them to since they are PTS. At the end of the day if I keep my order the way it is I'm sure I'll be happy, but for this kind of cash I want my car to be as perfect for me as I can make it. All that said, opinions welcome.

Nogaro Blue is an Audi color, so get on Autotrader and look for RS4, S4s, etc
