Funny how mine are the opposite. Color-wise, anyway.

I thought that if I ever bought a 911, it would have to be silver or red. No regrets.
This. And I hate it.

Missed this the first time around. My mistake, thought it was a paint-to-sample color. (Guess I'm still hung up on the color after they tried, and failed, with Sunflower Yellow circa 1987. Still remember that orphan Camelback Porsche couldn't give away for a year or so.)

Another thought--were there any Fly Yellow 993s?

Very hard to capture the real look of yellows, especially Pastel Yellow, it looks much better in person IMO. Most pictures make it look to light and soft, like the pic Cam put up.

Here's a shot of PY I was interested in at one point, some would even say this looks close to Ferrari yellow in certain light.

Would not the black 993s run the hottest and therefore be the slowest?

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!
Great post! You must be a manly man, hugely endowed physically and a mental giant. Admired by men and adored by women. There's little doubt you'll go far and achieve immortality.

Or maybe people will just think you're a tool.

A Chinese movie "Legend of Speed" featured a Speed Yellow Turbo, here's to see it in action, starts around 8:55 mark
