I am still in touch with this first owner. He is now retired and lives in Florida. He used to be the PCA Zone 1 Rep back in the '70's/'80's, lived in New Jersey and was a member of NNJ region. His name is Doug Troyer. Saludos, z356

Z356' since we already highjacked some of this thread would you mind posting a picture of your Signal yellow car? I always appreciate unique colors.

Love it.........actually I like all the three, the green, blue, and yellow. I figure I drive a black RR every day so I like a little color on my toys as evidenced by my not so subtle wrap on my track car. Thanks for sharing.

Yes please post the pic...
Already did eh?
So will I have to send in a Swatch of Arena Red or can I just quote an Internal Color code on this one? Hope Eric is following this thread!
I want my next car this color but I dunno if it will be worth it if I want to go ahead with the 991S and trade up to the Turbo a year or so later?
I know for good reasons why the Gulf colors are on the no paint list. But Fiyance, spell check on that one please, Yellow? Really!? Is that because it was more or less a Carrera GT exclusive? Also love the Grey on the Sport Classic, that is out too? I was thinking of getting the better half's Pepper-Hybrid in that color too.
Speaking of better half, I'm trying to get her to go to a driving event. I know how she is and sooner or later she will want her's & his GT3s. I would get her a .2 RS and I will get a 996 GT3 and stroke it to 3.9 on the cheap.
And yes many people are bummed out when I say that the Orange GT3 in my avatar is not mine. Just that it caught my eye so I put it there.
I've only seen two cars in Nordic Metallic, one is a GT2 and the other was a Targa at the 2009 LA Autoshow.
I missed last years show, was at the ****ty San Francisco show instead, biggest let down if my life. Won't miss 2011 even if I have to take four days off of work and fly 10000 miles around the globe.
I hope Sascha and the boys have the 991 programmed into their Configurator so I can get my order out the door. Just don't know who I'm going to buy the car through just yet, especially after getting skrewed out of my turbo.

I just saw a photo of the 'Racing Yellow' on a new 991. I don't think that is going to be close to 'Signal Yellow' as I hoped for. This was the color I mentioned in my post. They (PAG) allowed one gt3 RS in this color for the UK but then turned down any other request for that color from PTS customers in the US. They must have found out something regarding that paint on the car and now it's not allowed to be ordered.
Does anyone know what the old 'Speed Yellow' was called in German by Porsche? z356

After seeing all of these wonderful colors I could never go back and can't believe I actually ordered Arctic Silver at one point in my life albeit with Lipstick Red inside.
You have quite the collection of beauties! To die for (almost):

I will have to Paint To Sample this color. My question to anyone who might be able to answer is do you know of Porsche turning down a PTS Arena Red car? I don't know if Porsche is trying to keep the color an exclusive because of the Iconic 993 Turbo, the last of the air cooled cars. Just like they won't paint a car Gulf Blue or Sport Classic Grey.

Tom, I will post pictures of the Riv blue 993 next week. Doing some traveling and would like to get a picture with the new wheels.

Tacet, I have a brilliant idea. You buy the PTS Arena red car and then my wife will buy the car from you when you are ready to trade for a turbo. Wait.....are you doing PDk or 3 pedals?
