This question is like DO you want your Kansas City Porter House Aged beef with Baked potato with Sour Cream and Chives? or no chives.

THey ALL work even the silver orange.

Wow What a massive response!

I was going through the GT3 RS register and I did some math on on the first 206 cars listed to get and idea of what colors are out there.

And the results were as follows;

82 - Orange
43 - Black
39 - White
22 - Green
20 - Silver.

Surprising that there weren't that many Greens ordered. Perhaps it was one of those colors that once you actually saw it, then you wanted it. And for most this may have been too late???

I am looking to purchase an RS at the moment and I have to say that I have always loved the Green, Orange & Black.

Having stated that, I already have a Black 997 Cup, so I guess black is out.

Leaving me with Green or Orange.

I think that next to my 1973 Gulf Blue RS the Orange will perfectly compliment it, where as the green may clash.

Therefore I think that I have made up my mind.

Is that rational thinking.......

Serge, soon you will face this difficult color decision

I saw my very first 7.1 RS in 2007 on the track and it was a stunning orange. I made up my mind to get one in orange ... all the Porsche RS commercial used orange so that gave me a skewed point of view. Saw another green RS on the track but did not spark any interest due to alot of aftermarket green accents. Finally saw a stock green RS in the dealer and I was sold. The classic signal green with black wheels is the best combo imho.

Attached is a pic of what my recently acquired RS looks like. Not sure if this is my actual car or not, but it is identical in appearance!!!

Loving every minute of it, even more than my first RS which was orange (my
2nd choice!!!)

Looks great! Although everyone knows the Orange ones are faster

BTW does your car have Euro rear bumper (sans bumperettes)? If not, then the one in the pic is not yours.

First favorite is green, I love it even more with with a nice set of silver wheels. Then my next favorite is the silver with black decals. I would love to see some black wheels on the silver and black combo.
