Man why don't you guys answer his question seriously?! It's been proven over and over that speed yellow cars are lighter and faster than others, and that 1995's have a lower coefficient of drag which makes them faster. Geesh.

jimbo 3 is right - adventura green is special. The color is complex - really hues of gray, green, blue. In garage flourescent lighting it has more of a gray look. My dad summarized it best when he commented that "it looked like a shark". Yah, it sure does dad!
As far as torque and hp differences, for most its a non-issue. What matters is that the 911 has an aggressive look and ready at zero mph! Why do many prefer the S over narrow bodies? Not because it actually has more drag and slower, but it looks cool! Why are we willing to upgrade to turbo brakes for street use? Not because its heavier and the stock braking is solid, but because the big lobster claws is something that the ricers dream about!
I like OtherErics avatar. I saw the VW commercial last night and laughed hystrerically. In fact watched it several times. I totally understood VW message and my wife was lost and confused. The line about how the ricers aero wing makes it look like it should fly.... I always laugh when I see those big *** wings bolted to a front wheel drive car!

The white ones are a close 2nd, BTW...

If you're using this as buying info, it's meaningless. These cars are on the order of 10 years old now, and if you're shopping for one the intent is to find the best one you can - irregardless of year.
Now, if you're using this question to jam up the web site with useless babble, then considering I have '92K miles on my '95 Adventurine Green Coupe and am still on the original clutch, tranny shifts fine, engine gets over 3K miles per quart on 0W40 synthetic oil and is totally dry, and I don't have to worry about SAI issues or being locked out of the car by an "Immobilizer", then my vote is for the '95 in Adventurine Green!
