Always felt a yellow car belongs to one of two kinds of drivers.

1. Owners of B5 Audi RS4's

2.Owners of a pair of gonads that havn't dropped yet.

BUT, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Mines Irish green for example! lol!

Burt, all agreed, beauty is very personal.

Silver on 911s is by far my favorite.

But when I purchased the GT 2 a while back, I actually had a chance to choose between a silver and SY 993 GT 2s. While the SY was in slightly better condition due to lower mileage (14K kilos), beyond that, side by side, the SY just looked right for that particular car.

Cheers

One of my top 3 colors for a 911 beside white and silver. Looks like I need to buy one to make the stable complete ...

It's a strong color no doubt. Like it, always stands out in a crowd that's for sure.

I still dream of speed yellow. My wife said no way. We got midnight blue instead. Someday it will be traded for a speed yellow car.

Huh? Pastel Yellow was a standard, no cost, color for the '97 and '98 993 model years.

I could be very, very, very happy with a speed yellow 993.

why not Pastel Yellow?

OP - I'm not a fan of Speed Yellow as I myself find it way too Yellow or in your face type of coloring.

Why not consider a Pastel Yellow color? Now this I dig...
