Having had MK1 and MK2 Carreras, C4S, GT3 and Turbos, I think that... they all look good! Some just more so, depending on color/wheels/ride height. Honestly couldn't pick a general favorite.

the GT3 by a good margin. mileage tends to be much lower on GT3s also - adding to the gap.

I went on your website to buy a t-shirt, but the MKI are sold out :-(

this does look pretty cool. I think I’d get tired of the wheels though.

That, and you could probably find something half the weight.

I believe this settles the argument: all 996's with ambers are the best looking 996's.

The answer was right in front of us the whole time.

Can we close the thread now?

I too, like the ambers. To me the side of the 996 is too much of one color, so the little bits orange actually look good to my eye. (Yes, I know I am in the minority on this)

Anyway, still pretty happy with mine, even though in general I don't care for silver cars.

Hey, I know that spot well. You can practically see my house from there.

Great color combo.

I really like the retro look. If only one of my 3 sets of real Fuchs would work!

All the 996s look good IMO. Here's my favorite, a C4S in action:
