For a dedicated track car a good choice and congrats!.. but if the standard non xenon lights are as bad as in a 996 night driving will be an adventure.

3 sec faster? outrageous!
I am afraid that sabotage is your only option !
A 3.7 L would be expensive..so how about old smaller RSR air-restrictors and 50mm tubing in exhaust..

Mooty,

I checked every U.S. Porsche dealer web site and here are links to all of the Blue GT3RS cars I found.

I listed all Aqua Blue cars, even those with Red trim. Some don't have actual pics, so I am not sure if those are Blue/Silver or Blue/Red. I have also included the dealer name in the link description. The last car is SOLD, but worth a quick look as it is a unique PTS car.

Hope this helps.

BTW - the billing invoice is in the mail!

Beverly Hills - Blue/???? - PCCB

Downtown LA - Blue/Silver - PCCB

Newport Beach - Blue/Silver

Colorado Springs - Blue/???? - PCCB

Fairfield, CT - Riviera Blue PTS - Loaded

Westwood - Blue/Silver - PCCB

Fred Lavery - Blue/Red - PCCB

Jack Daniels - Blue/Red - PCCB

Manhattan - Blue/Silver - PCCB

Armandos - Blue/Silver - PCCB

Main Line - Blue/Silver - PCCB

Boardwalk - Blue/???? - PCCB

Park Place - Blue/Silver - PCCB

This car is SOLD but worth a quick look - Porsche Center TX - Meissen Blue PTS - PCCB

There's got to be an easier way to find a car than going to every dealers website... does Porsche not offer a "national search"? Hmm...

Respect to gota911 for going through the trouble of finding all those cars!

Interestingly Porsche's USA site does not offer a national search, which surprised me as well.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, there is not a "national search" function for new cars. They should add a search function for New cars that would work like the Pre-Owned search.

I should have know that if there were any "costs" not directly related your one of YOUR cars, the moths would remain captive in your wallet!

$173,000 for the Meissen Blue car? Holy Smokes...

I have evolved, Mootylike, to the option delete philosophy and now wish I had ordered differently. A lot cheaper and easier to just buy it stripped.

I guess we can only hope the photos make that Meissen Blue look pale and washed out -- looks like a thin undercoat at best.

Understand Meissen is a classic color but somehow it doesn't look right without any contrast on this car. Maybe black contrasting bits will help. As it is, the car looks unfinished at best...
