Default Green 997 Turbo....

No affiliation, I was just browsing cars.com this morning when I came across this: http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...5284/overview/

Damn that thing is green! Priced a bit high, (little too much green) but still crazy car. You won't be able hide anywhere in it.

Whoever ordered that car checked all the option boxes. That car has leather everywhere inside, plus deviated stitching and carbon fiber.

I actually like it....

Pretty cool car, unique but quite a hefty premium. If you hold on to it, may not a bad one to buy long term

Good luck with that! Intersport doesn't allow test drives. I went there once when I was looking at a car they had and they turned me away. They would only let me look at it and sit in it despite being an active buyer. I'm not buying a car without driving it.

As for the car I normally like skittle colored cars but I can't figure out if i like it or not. I prefer signal green a little more.

That car is gorgeous but missing the all important (to me) PCCB.

that's wild, certainly went cray cray with the configurator. Probably has $30k in options. Car would be good for a pimp or someone who is color blind. That color doesn't belong on something that could be a DD, unless it's a dodge dart or VW bug. lol

I went to a 3rd hand dealer to look at a 996TT a while back and they wouldn't let me test drive the car because their dealer insurance didn't cover such powerful cars. I LOL and asked why they wasted my time. Any dealer who won't let you test drive is dead to me.

I agree. Once you've had them, you can't go back. I'm already thinking of brake upgrades to my 996tt before anything else.

Is the deviated stitching white or green?

Not everybody needs 'safe' colors.
I would pay a premium for this color if such a car ever came up for sale in EU.

Very nice spec. The one thing I think this car needs is the Aerokit.

with the right wheels and some minor accents like GT2 side skirts etc I think it would look sweet.

I think the car is perfect except for one thing... Needs a paint job!

I like it! Perfect color for a play car. All the bright color GT3 RS's carry a premium. Yeah too bad no yellow calipers to go with the green...

I would buy her too if I was in the market. Given this bold color choice, I imagine that the person who ordered this car left a large non refundable deposit with the dealer.

I just think this color is best for a GT car
