I'm thinking of getting RS Neo, and if I do, it will get some gold stripes or thick black stripes to help bring the car alive. Then if i get tired of the color, just trade it for something else that I will tire of soon.

Check your local dealers for CPO cars. Seeing it in person really helps, I was on the fence until I saw it in person. It's really difficult to capture this color.

I keep thinking I will get one in this color. But I have no place to see it in real life. One dealer of Porsche said "it's the kiss of death on the car". So....... not sure why he was so strong about it. But he said a customer had one and it was so hard to sell. Someone drive one down to Georgia or at least to the tail of the dragon so I can see one.

I think it's an awesome color... Heritage Color (You can even buy the paint for your garage here - https://www.backdrophome.com/pages/porsche/)

That was my first choice, with the second being Racing Yellow...
My config = https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PR5H4PG3

I've seen one or two here in Silicon Valley, more in the LA area. It's for sure a "eye opening" color... If you want attention, that's the color to get 😀

If you look around and do some research you can find a Mary Kay cosmetic double diamond platinum triple distributor lifetime sales rep. They would take it off your hands if you got in a pinch.

I can unfortunately verify that statement, I get a lot of attention when I drive it around. I wish I did not. I like to go unnoticed but the color was too nice to pass up and had such history behind it.

Your build is loaded! Could get a nicely spec'd GTS for that price.

I tried to spec a S or GTS with the same options (for the most part) and it's way more... It's going to my daily driver, so I wanted as many options that make it happy and this cover it all... First 911, hopefully not last, but I do love my cars spec'ed like this...

The T is the best platform for your money, if you want the gts hp later get a tune! As people have done already!
