I'm seriously thinking about taking the plunge into a 2006 997 and considering Lapis Blue with Black interior and the new style Carrera wheels or new sport designs. Does anyone have a pic of this combo? Thanks!

just go to the porsche web page, select the option to configure your car, and you can see the color/wheel combo.

Give some thought to the 2 tone black and gray interior. The color difference is subtile but really dresses up the inside. It is not as big of color difference as the Porsche build it site indicates.

I did do that a few hundred times, I was hoping for the real thing...

LARRY,
Is that Cobalt Blue?

Coochas

Dude - that's Azurro California and was put out on the limited edition Club Coupe this year (if U look at his door sill U can see where it says "911 Club...").

Thanks "Dude", it looks like Cobalt Blue to me

docjackson1

bob-you might have done this too, but run the inventories of the dealers around you, see if they have that combo in any porsche, and go see the car.

Saying "Dude" seems a little "rude" to me Coochas.
Guy was just asking for a real-life pic of a certain color.
Besides, he's from the Hudson Valley, my old stomping grounds, be nice to him.

Coochas

Not meant to be rude at all,...sorry if it came across that way.

Dave didnt' mean any harm. He is one of the nicest guys on this site, and porvides us all with great videos on his own web page. My recommendation is go to a dealer who has this color and check it out. They may not have the exact combo you're looking for, but there's nothing like seeing it in person to help you make the best decision.

I did check local inventories and most dealers stock the "safe" colors like silver, black and red. I'm familiar with Lapis Blue, I just wanted to see a 997 in that finish. Dave don't worry, I'm not offended at all. This is a lot of money and I usually compromise on color but not this time. Thanks everyone

"Dude" is not a rude term by any stretch of the imagination. Where have you been, Dude? It's actually a term of endearment used by the younger crowd and suggests familiarity and friendliness. Now had he said "Hey **** head" or "Hey stupid", then you might have some grounds for the rudeness charge.

Coochas is by far the least rude person here on Rennlist. ... I, on the other hand, cannot make that claim.

Coochas was merely pointing out that by the obvious designation on the door sill, that this particular rare car is one of only 50 ever made in the Club Coupe series, and that therefore, without even seeing the color, anyone who is a Porschephile would know that this color has to be Azurro California. ... Obviously Mr. Bob in NY is not a Porschephile.

Bob in NY

Gee, I must not be worthy to post here in company of such Porschephiles from California yet! Seems to me that I'm not the only one on this board that isn't a Porschephile that meets your standards Ben.

Coochas

No problem dude,....JUST KIDDING !!!
One thing I did to finalize my decision on 997 color was to go to the dealer when he had three BOXSTERS in my finalist colors,...I say Boxsters because they are a more plentiful species. That way you can see 'your colors' on some big pieces of Porsche metal.
