I think white looks awesome on the GT3. Not so sure on the 997.

If it is the 'coca' brown then it is marbled look. I get the most compliments on that initially. People say it reminds them of cigar rooms and bomber jackets. And the white...it the 'new' silver.

The get additional depth of color in the cocoa leather, use Zaino leather treatment.

105? Wow, that's a lot of coin for a used car. I would definitely spec out a new one to my liking over buying that.

The wheels look so tough on the car. I hear they are anchors and reduce performance noticeably. Any thoughts???

If they are the TechArts I've read the same, (try 6speed). No direct experience with them. As far as price, if I crack the 100k mark on a normally aspired 911 it will be the GT-3, after a year and a half of the 997S I could use a little more "sports" in the sports car.

They are indeed TechArts, and they are indeed heavy. I'm wanting to say 35+ lbs each.

The cocoa brown is really sweet. I looked at a '04 550 SE Spyder recently and that color interior looked really sharp set against the GT silver exterior and painted R/C console.

What a joke, they list standard features as though they are options. Yeah it's a Cab, but the roof is an option???

The S isn't enough, eh? Well, I guess a 3 may be in your future. The reviews have been solid. If I buy another p car my wife will have a friggin fit. She's been patient with my car addiction, but I better settle in on my 997S cab for awhile.
