NEW (to me) 96 Arena Red 993...pictures
I finally got some pictures downloaded of my 96 Arena red 993 Coupe. I love the color even though I had nightmares about it for weeks before I bought it. I was afraid that it would look too purple...but now, I go out to the pole-barn where it is stored for the winter and...stare. When the wheels and suspension are on in the spring the staring will only get worse!

Thanks, dude...now I have to start with the bad dreams again!
Oh, btw, at least I can see mine on a cloudy day...How do you find your car on a typical SEATTLE, GREY AND BLACK day?
Just having fun
...I really like the look of your car...a real machine!

I actually love the purple'ish cars. Arena, Vesuvius and Iris Blue are some of my most fave pcar colors.
Enjoy!

Thanks! Oakville's nice, but it is a bit expensive for housing. Well worth it in my opinion though.
Been to Michigan a ton of times for various car shows (American Muscle and Corvettes ). A great place for a car guy to be!

Stunning! And nice pix too. (And I like the Cup wheels).
AR has really grown on me lately, and yours is really pretty. The switch came when one of these threads mentioned an AR Turbo with tan supple.....had a boing moment.
When I bought my white car in '95 the dealer also had an Arena Red S he loaned me to test for a bit. The $10k price bump made it a no brainer and I wasn't too fond of the color at the time. (Unfortunately about 3 months later he let another guy try it....little too fast on a sweeper and bent it just enough at the cowl to total it).

I felt the same way about white...but lately, I have come to appreciate what white can do on a P-Car. I have had blacks, silvers and greys for so long...it is refreshing to polish this car...it is like finding a jewel. thanks for the compl.
