So it might be "Special Paint" but the invoice, and the price is "Metallic Paint to Sample"

First MY10 order guide (4/27/09)
Atlas was not a "Special Color" hence it would be PTS (Released 6/16 for Sept allocation forward)

When the MY10 GT3/RS order guide came out (9/4/2009)
Atlas shows as "Special Paint" $3,140

Sadly you got screwed out of $2,360 THAT SUCKS!!!

They must not have updated the configurator because I don't see Atlas as one of the special colors.

$5,500 price tag has a way of killing even the most enthusiastic demand. Personally, I think it's disrespectful of Porsche to repeatedly show a press car in a color and then not offer it as a standard option. Might as well be laughing at your customers.

Isn't white the best color? And it's free! ;-)
You can always wrap it any color you want later.
