It seems on these .1 cars that Black was the only free color. Green, orange was 3k, white was 4k, silver was 700.

For giggles, I pulled this off the GT3 Registry, for .1 RS, i spend 2 mins on this so don't claim full accuracy:
orange: 40%
Black: 21%
White: 17%
Green: 13%
Silver: 9%

Silver are indeed the rarest. And with black wheels added it is sexy.
Black was free and is timeless cool.
White is purebred race car color. Very fitting on a RS.
Green is so funky its cool.
Orange was the launch color and as bold as it maybe, it is fun on a special car.

I wanted black or white, ended up with orange because it was easier to find.
I ended up buying another RS and had the chance to get any color i wanted and while the wild colors grew on me i almost got a green! but in the end the orange got me. It is just super fun on these cars.

If you ever see a fully waxed and detailed RS on the freeway in late afternoon sun or even under a street light late at night it just sucks you in.....

Decisions decisions. I'm partial to white, like silver a lot, but my OCD kicks in too hard with black. Will never own another black car. I found myself needing (not wanting) to detail it every weekend.

I took another look at David A rs pics and am going to go see it in the flesh again this weekend. Silver with black wheels and accents looks fantastic. Maybe one of these 2 will be the one.

Agree with Mooty. Time to get one of them because track season is upon us. Time to get driving and learning your new car.

Thanks, I recall emailing with you off either this, or another forum. Good luck.

The calls are becoming more frequent so we'll see what happens.....

Thank you for this great and easy transaction. And thank you to Rennlist as well. I'm also happy that the car is staying local and going to another enthusiast. I hope to see you and the car from time to time at C&C.
