Default For all of those who have requested pictures of GT Silver

I apologize for not returning your PMs. I've received quite a few and I just forget from time to time. Here are as many examples as I can find on my hard drive.










Enjoy! I do not regret this color at all. As I've said before, it's extremely dynamic (changing its hue from a brilliant silver to almost a titanium in lower light) and would get it again in a heartbeat.

I'm sure our other GT Silver owners can contribute a few pictures of their own as well.

Fantastic color! If it weren't so expensive, I would have to see if I could change my order!

Where did you get the Porsche emblem for your garage?

Delware has the best-looking plate in the whole union. Simple, stark, inconspicuous. GT silver looks good as well.

I am a silver fanatic. Just curious how GT silver compares to polar and artic. I have artic and like it, but I have always desired a more brighter silver (like GT silver appears in the above pics). I have only seen one polar silver 993 and it definitely stood out.

Vikan once wrote that polar has a blue tint, artic a brown, and I can't remember the Porsche silver he said was most pure... it may have been GT, but I think it may have been another (one they used on the 959s?).

Anyone have the Porshce silver history?

Rob



Opinions on these three silvers?
