have black, voted for RB.

What I REALLY want is a Vesuvio tt... but I have never seen one. Wonder if it was ever ordered with that color?

I like Barney a lot also .. the "different" colors are great.

Likewise. I have Polar, but in the silver range, I prefer Arctic. If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy black.

I've seen a 993TT in Vesuvius in Italy . It was very nice! However, I think the "viola metallic" is more common on the 993TT. There were two of them for sale here in Sweden recently..

I agree about the "different" colors being nice. I don't know if I could own one though. It's not really my style. I like the understated look I guess.

For me personally (I have an Arena red TT) for a "standard 993TT" appearance I would take black or a dark color like seal gray or midnight blue, that would be perfect. BUT, for a 993RS or a 993GT2 I would prefer a pastel color like riviera blue or turquoise blue, guards red or speedy yellow. It all depends what kind of car it is.. (IMHO ofcourse)

Reason I'm asking is that local guy is selling a slate grey TT. It has 65k miles and he wants $60k for it. Not sure I should pay premium for having a rare color.

My fav Porsche colour. Had it on my '03 Bosxter S.

I would be all over a TT in slate, although my Midnight blue is awesome (takes

on different hues depending on the light.

Sorry, bud, but cars with 30k and 40k miles are going for $60k and under. Don't think Slate is worth that kinda premium (though it is a GORGEOUS color).
