I thinks its BS...the RS colors should be for RS' only....now the clones and wannabes will start to emerge.....if you have any *****, pick an original color for your GT3 and leave the RS colors to the car it was designated for...a REAL RS.....this company always finds a way to F up and dilute a good thing.

You bought a car, not the exclusive rights to a color.

I really don't see what makes it an RS color. These colors are a paint to sample option for the 911, 911S, 911TT, & now finally on the 911 GT3. Both colors were available YEARS before the 997 GT3RS was. Plenty of non-RS Porsches out there wearing Orange or Green.

Maybe we should give RS owners that bought a black RS grief for buying a Ford Model T color.

It's the car that makes it an RS, not the outside color.

Yes, but would an RS not sporting a goofy color scheme and garish decals be worth as much?

A real RS would would be at least 200 lbs lighter; not a meaningless 44 lbs which can result just from burning off a half tank of gas.

Go for it -- Orange is awesome. The more, the merrier, as far as I'm concerned.

I look at the Orange & Green the same way I look at Speed Yellow. They are just alternate bright color options. Nothing exclusive about them. I've seen pictures of an orange 997TT as well as an Orange 911S. Both cars looked awesome.

I keep thinking about ordering a paint to sample Green C4S to go along with my GT3.

Strip every speck of paint off an RS and guess what? You still have an RS.

icon: Black looks good on any car, from the Model T to my GT3!
