Bought my first P-car from Pioneer. Great guys to deal with. I think I like the exterior color, but, the yellow seat belts really look like sh@% in contrast...

My two cents, FWIW

Default Chartreuse / Lime Green

I think that is a vintage 911 color from 1973. It is Lime Green or Chartreuse. Color Code 226 but known as 6710 in a Targa or 6767 in a Coupe. Some very nice original RS's were done at the factory in that color (see photo of one owned by a fellow RGruppe member in Southern California). Pioneer is known for their bold selections of colors on spec cars. My 'Signal Green' MY2007 911 was ordered by them on spec. So love it or hate it, 'Chartreuse' is a 'historic' color for an RS! I think it is pretty good they have the cojones to do this! z356 (Carmel)

Man that is cool, reminded me of this Dino from Concorso 2010.
Look carefully this Dino to uses yellow, on the wheel caps. to compliment the green exterior.
Both look great.

PS anyone notice that for once the dealer got the deviated stiching to include the e-brake and gearshift boot - attention to detail.

Horrible color.

Graphics of the 997.1 look STUPID on the 997.2

I guess 997.2 stickers weren't available to put on that fugly color.


If the PORSCHE factory could vomit........it would be that car.

#1........wrong stickers on car
#2........ugly, ugly seatbelts...(mine are Yellow, but so is my car)
#3.............looks like a lotus color

This car should be the cheapest RS in the country........constant upset stomach

Hmm, I think I like it. Actually, I think I like it more than Viper on the .2 RS.

i only know because i have a green exige.

krypton is my fav, more green.

isotope was popular color on the 211's yellower.

mine is lotus racing green which looks close but is different than british racing green (too many greens!)
