If you look hard enough you may find another Lapis Blue one... Problem is there is only 5 of them, and I'm not selling mine.

For a 996 I'd say Lapis Blue (bias), Black, White

997, Orange or White

one is forced induction and the other is naturally-aspirated - hard choice to be faced with.
either way, i'm leaning towards the red.

Carrara White - the color most cup cars come from the factory. There is no substitute!

White is milk toast.
Silver is bland
Black is just, well, it's black....it's actually the absence of color
Yellow...this is one of the few cars that can pull off yellow
Atlas Gray...I agree...love it!
Slate Gray...on a 997 GT3, ok. On a 996 GT3, not so much
Blue...ok, but it has to be unique.
Red...only if it is on black interior. Classic color on a classic body line. Can't go wrong. (Yes, I am bias on this one)
Orange...never seen a 996 GT3 in orange.

One thing is for sure, the car is unique and bold....it shouldn't look like all the rest....like silver or gray. It should stand out and say "Hey, check me out!"

Red is awesome.

I think Mike Valentine (from V1 fame) had an orange 996 GT3...

Silver is fastest, but I love the dark blues like Lapis or Midnight Blue

I ended up with a Black one and really enjoy it. All things being exactly the same (which for some reason never ends up being the case, one car has something more going for it) I would've liked a Gray or White one.
