Definitely Racing yellow. My GT4RS is Shark blue with Racing yellow belts and door pulls. Porsche doesn't use Speed yellow for anything except PTS anymore.

@shrimp money so somehow you in your mind what I wrote that you posted means I said the "T is basically a Sport Classic"?

No, stop putting words into... I never said you're the one that stated a "T is basically a Sport Classic."

I am merely pointing out your love for journalists when they affirm your beliefs, but don't when it goes against.

Stay focused Shrimp. You said the Dakar is a GTS. I and others corrected you. You responded by laughing at the "crowed that says GTS is basically an S, and a T is basically a Sport Classic." You've said that many, many times and I've never seen anyone make that comparison. Only you. So I asked you to please let us know who has made that asinine comparison and you reply with a bunch of my posts where I state my opinion that for a street car, the T/base is enough power, an opinion which is widely held, including by journalists, and which is irrelevant to this conversation. Thanks for pointing out what you interpret as "my love for journalists". Now, can you provide the link to the "T is basically an SC" posts or not?

I wasn’t aware that I needed to @wilder on every post where someone says a GTS is just an S with a tune. I will do this from now on so you’re satisfied.

My post about the Dakar being a GTS, how is that not true? Porsche compares it against the 4 GTS in its own newsroom article. I guess I should have said based off a GTS, but I assumed readers were smart enough from merely looking at a GTS, that it ISN’T a Dakar due to the obvious visuals.

If we’re being critical, we could say every variant of the 911 is based off of a base. But what sets apart the trim levels? The engine power rating. What’s the power rating of a GTS and Dakar, 473HP. I’ll be sure to @ you if I see anyone saying it’s basically a GT3 because it uses the same engine mounts and hood.

In other words, you can't produce a post where someone other than you says the T is basically an SC. That's what I thought. Carry on.

No, I didn’t do a screen capture thinking I’d need it to show you in the future.

Some guy posts this stupid **** and a year later you try to sell it as "a crowd"? There's no crowd who thinks the S is a GTS either or that the GTS is a GT3.

Thanks for the entertainment.
