Do you think the factory called that dealer and said, "are you absolutely sure you filled out the deviated section properly?"

What Color is that?

I'm really loving the Mexico Blue and the Signal Green..... If I was going turbo or GT3, I'd definitely love to do a bold color like those.

The one posted by me is plain old Orange - the same one as the GT3RS and Boxster LE.
The PS'd one from Dan is a PS!

There are some Orange CGT's out there as well as Mike V's which is Signal Yellow (which is sort of Orangey).

Check out the CGT Registry Site and scroll down to the bottom where all of the different known colors and links to pics are: http://www.CarreraGTRegistry.de.vu/
It's a great sote started by a guy named Mathias: he has data on over 250 of the 1270 cars made.

A really nice color is SIGNAL YELLOW. Not quite orange,--lighter, but not as weak as most of the stock yellows of today.

Good question. I always thought the GT3 RS was viper green, but maybe not. The only "signal green" I've seen is a certain 94 turbo 3.6 from the 964 forum, and it seemed brighter than the RS but what do I know, they're just pictures to me.

Whoever bought that 3.6, well done, I love that car.
