The blue is the most amazing blue ever. It might drive me crazy after having a Dark Blue Metallic GTS. It was tougher than black to keep nice.

The gray car has the highest window I've seen in memory at $174,145.

October 2020 there was a white/gold .2 RS that was on the PCA website for a long time that the guy wanted $220k for that would be comparable to these two. So if you bought in today at $429, that car has gone up $200k. That's a 48% increase.

My white 2010 GT3 was $123k w/ 13k miles, and if it still did it would be worth maybe $200k. That's a 38% increase.

Back in the good old days I could have some cash biz and fun money. No mo. Everything is credit card. It's the 10.25% sales tax and registration renewal that would irk me.

Has anybody seen these two cars in person?

Kevin, your math is off a bit. From $220k to $430k on the RS is a 92% increase.
From 123k to 200k on your GT3 is a 63% increase.

I think you were thinking of discount from current values to original.

Gray is "in" and thats probably why I have 4 gray cars, a gray car hauler, 2 gray jet skis, gray dishes and gray tile in my bathroom, so I'd pick blue because I hope someone some day will say "remember grandpas blue car"

Ive never seen the blue in person, but I do know I prefer the white in person over the gray, green and orange.

I look at Aqua every day & I'm still astonished on how amazing the color is (& that is in just about every light variation I have put it in)

He still has the white .2. His car is one of the cleanest cars I've set eyes on.

Sorry I was thinking margins

I still have my white .2 GT3 and really I'm super happy with it. I've driven it as I'm prone to do, so it's at about 18k miles. If I had a $429k car I might be a little less prone. to.

The 997.2 GT3 RS for me had terrible color options outside of White/Red and White/Gold.

I owned a white/gold and now own a white/red. They're both great colors but.........that aqua/white gold is really special in person. I had a chance to buy one a few years ago and passed. Huge mistake.
