I couldn't agree more with this overall assessment.

Speed Yellow GT just did $185K which is not all that bad for Pcar

Does bode somewhat well for the Turbo S

Nobody does. It's Porsche mystique.

I think that agate grey (may have that wrong) has to be about the most perfect Porsche color.

Driving a yellow car attracts the way wrong attention.

Even though I own a Volcano grey Macan it's a blue grey. Agate grey is too grey grey for me, unless also it has a red interior which work to my eye, like my Macan does.

My perfect 911 color is blue silver, like Polar, Rhodium, Dolomite, etc.

The 991 is rhodium silver ... With a blue interior.

I have learnt that, this combination only works in direct sunlight.

Well that that escalated quickly. All in $156k. The Speed Yellow premium is unstoppable.

@bdronsick You know the broader 911 market better than I. Does Speed Yellow and Racing Yellow bring premiums with 997 and 991 cars?

IMHO Racing Yellow is hideous, and takes a penalty.

Speed Yellow on 997 is neutral to positive. Other end of the spectrum: Speed Yellow on 964 can triple value easily. On 993 it can double it. So it's premium decreases linearly over gens with time.

Anyone interested in my Speed Yellow TT? Don't have the heart to list, but I now want to import a 1999 Mezger. I'm reasonable PM me
