Default Pink? What pink?

Had me fooled for a minute till CS4 came to the rescue...

210-140-160ish ain't gonna get you pink in my books.

An interesting shade of red, it ain't so bad. The Mexico blue gallery (et al) should be cheering them on - just on the principle that it isn't silver.

Personally, the wheels kill it for me.

Porsche will be more than happy to make them black when you order your car, they'll do anything for a price.

Default Nice idea, badly executed.

As part of the Mexico blue gallery (et al) I'll give him an A for effort and a D minus for execution. But hey at least it's not Silver

Someone had to ask. Why are these cars driving in that red mud? Is that a Georgia thing?

My Millennium was parked right behind it. The seat inserts are the same color as the exterior. At least you gotta respect the commitment.

And yes, this was at Petit this past Sat.

That metallic red color would have been better in a Cab w/ a black top and black wheels to break it up. The color itself isn't bad, just too much of it. The wheels in exterior color was not well considered, but to each his own.

It was a mess on Saturday. Road Atlanta had something like 10 inches of rain in the week leading up to the race. I'm still not sure how some of those guys got out. I luckily moved to another section of the track before it started to really pour (Even then the C4S was getting pretty sideways in some of that stuff).

Like the cousin Vinnie comparison,--"you got mud in your wheels."

So was that a factory black job? I'm looking for aftermarket solutions, since PCNA told the dealer there was only one color - silver and shiny - for those arches on the new Targa, when I asked.

I saw that car parked at a BMW event I instructed at Road Atlanta 4th of July weekend. Blond girl that owned it was wearing a cowboy hat a much designer clothing. Also a nice air of "better than though" when my GF asked if it was her car and her only comment was "yeah". Fail.

BMW had a "Henna Red" which I really liked. This does not look far off.
