There is also a signal yellow, which is a Porsche color. Mike Valentine (Cincinnati local and founder of Escort and Valentine radar detectors, and rennlist member) favors this color. He currently has a 996tt in that color and his Carrera GT was ordered in signal yellow.

Signal yellow is darker than speed yellow, and I believe it is also darker than Ferrari Fly yellow.

I think I have a picture somewhere on my other computer showing my brother's garage with a speed yellow GT-2 and a fly yellow F360 Modena, but I will have to look.

 

Thanks Viken and Ron both WIDE BODY cars look great. AL

 

Neither color is accurate as they look too similar. FLY yellow is a bit lighter and Speed is a bit darker. Here's an okay sample of the FLY yellow:

 

The fly yellow has been a Color to Sample option for many years. I recently saw a Fly Yellow late 80s Turbo. Speed Yellow was a no-change option on the 993 until mid 97 after that they surcharged around $3000 for it.
I love the Speed and Fly Yellow cars. One day I will find the right one at the right time and it will come home to roost for life.

 

Dont forget about smiley face yellow, or speed yellow without the topcoat

 

Come on, John. It's called Pastel yellow.

 

I looked at my window sticker and it showed charge of $2955. for Speed Yellow.

 

Actually Viken I think they call it 12L!

 

Are you trying to be a smart ***? The name is Pastel and the code is 12L.

 

Well if John is going to post a nice looking yellow car I think I'll do the same. Pastel yellow.

 

Lighten up, Viken - rain gotcha down?

Randy, pics don't do our cars justice - is that yours in the avatar as well? Two completely different colors - in person though this is my favorite color.

 

Speed

 

Speed Yellow on my '96 C4S was no charge.

 

Another example of MY96 speed yellow.

(Viken: quick question...My MY96 Speed Yellow is single stage, no clear coat. Didn't the speed yellow change in MY97 to a base / clear???)

 

Here are two comparison photos that reasonably demonstrate the difference:
