Default Mexico Blue

Does anyone own a GT3 in Mexico Blue? Why is it that we do not see many for sale?
Has someone seen it in person, and what do you think?

I DO!!!

AFIAK there are only 4 MB cars in the US, 2x2010 GT3's, 1x 2011 GT3 and 1x GT3 RS, since it was a PTS color.

I personally love it, it is a "shade" bluer than Riviera Blue, which is also a PTS, and is in the same numbers as the MB cars

If you are in the area, or plan to be at the Rennsport Reunion Sunday @ LS ... you can see my car in person

My car now sports a pair of silver "wannabe" RS 4.0 "dive planes" ... closest I will get to a 4.0!

Larry, your MB is by far the hottest looking GT3! Gotta post pics with the dive planes and thicker steering wheel.

I will be at rennsport this weekend. Do you only drive your car on the track, or do you use your car as a daily as well. I love the color and think that a Porsche can pull a car off with this color. My wife on the other hand, is saying that the reason they do not have many cars with this color on sale is that the color looks weird...like someone poured a bucked of wet paint onto it.

I dont daily drive it, because that is a waste of the car ... its a weekender/track car ... but only because I dont like to squander the miles ...

I'll be there on Sunday, I am guessing it will be the only MB car there ... so you wont be able to miss it!

I dont think the color is weird, the reason that there are so few of them, is that it was a PTS color that cost $5k extra, and there are only 500 cars in total anyway... so either a dealer had to order it or a customer, same for Riviera Blue ...

Hey Larry!

That Mexico Blue machine is almost as hot as my GT Silver baby with it's new 5 lug Forgelines.

Enjoy Rennsport!

Cheers!
