I also loved the line, "This 2001 Carrera 996 6-Speed C2 Coupe is the Newest One For Sale in the USA." What the hell does that mean?!?! Talk about BS.

That white exterior / green interior is atrocious. But the reverse is quite nice in fact (and unique). I'd seen a signal green 997 (like the GT3 RS) with a cream / black leather interior on ebay sometime back. Can't seem to find the link to it now, but it looked awesome.


Edit: Here it is :

I love the exterior, but the red accents in the interior are a bit tacky.

looks like a leprechaun threw up in there. At least it has the 3 spoke wheel and sport seats.

Well, the green car is not as offensive as the white one. Although, I agree that the red trim was a mistake. Definitely a unique car.

I think someone got drunk at a party before that order was placed.

That green GT3 is fine during December but what about the other 11 months of the year?

Does anyone own a 996 with these colors (pictures greatly appreciated)??

Or an idea on how to track one of these cars down when it comes time?

Thanks, Ross
My 01 996 was Slate Grey and I loved it....I hope to have this same color on a 997 GT3 sometime down the road.

paint to sample no, but Slate Grey is not PTS just "special" (see online configurator). Slate and several other special colors are available (like Polar Silver for example) as a $3k option. See this thread for a comparison (Slate vs. Meteor Grey).

I don't know, that price is really really low. I tried to go to the www.sexy9whips.com he gives, but my company filter must think it's a **** site.

You, good sir, have impeccable taste.
