This is my new pain in the backside. Leaning towards white or one of the silver/greys... I think I'd prefer GT silver but don't know that I'm prepared to pay the "special color" price tag it seems to carry. Anyone have pictures of a GT3 in Meteor grey???
I thought the new (MY 10) GT3 was going with a 3.8 and not the GT1 block.

- it is a 3.8 and it is still the old engine block (non DI - not the new 911 block)
- a 3.8 variant has been used in different cup series over the last few years (not sure if the bore / stroke are same) - cams will clearly be different
- race cams, 100 octane and 100cell highflow cats and the 3.8 engine should be good for 460 flywheel hp is my bet

I'd like Midnight Blue but do not see it. Liking Guards on this car; and White on black is always great. Meteor Grey w/ black wheels may be the one, tho. Decisions, decisions.

The first GT1 block with 3.8L is almost 20 years old now (964RSR)...

Default It's a schart...

Keep in mind the old adage -- for those over 50 -- "never trust a fart".

For that reason alone, macadamia brown (is that a color?) would seem to be a good bet for the long haul. It's a camo thing.

LOL - and with natural brown leather, of course!

Tough decision - I've been thinking about Signal Red (356 color), to match the color I plan to paint my 356. Comments?

(not my 356)

Non metallic paint to sample. Signal Yellow would be worth waiting for.
