Default 997 Turbo Diecast

OK so i'm in a debate, I want to own a diecast of every car i've owned. So far I have almost a full collection. The 997 turbo is hard to find. It comes in 3 colors , two blues and yellow. However the 997 GT2 comes in red (my color). I'm having a hard time picking which diecast I should get. The red gt2 looks closest to my actual car. I know it's a silly question, but as an enthusiast, i appreciate others opinions. GF thinks I should get the red GT2 since my previous two cars are red and I got almost exact replica diecasts of those.

Get the yellow one.. Your car is a turbo not GT2, the wheels on yellow one are identical to yours

Voted blue, but agree with yellow after seeing the photos (and wheels).

I'd get the yellow one if I were you. I managed to find a Macadamia Brown Metallic cabriolet model that is almost identical to my 997 TT. I've been searching for a model of my Midnight Blue Metallic 996 C4S, but all I've been able to find is a black model. I can find blue in a C2, but I think I am going to buy the black one because it's the correct model.

Red GT2 looks closer to your car than the yellow turbo

Yellow, but I agree with the conundrum

Yellow, and paint to red to match. Simple.

I got the yellow one... I would have it painted, but then have to go through the trouble of getting the "turbo" and "porsche" logos.

Was difficult not getting the red one. But the Yellow is identical to mine minus the color. The GT2 has bucket seats, no rear seats, diff wing and spoiler up front... also wheels and rotors! I spent wayyy too much time debating this dilemma lol

Isn't it nice ? Little things like that give pleasure too. I love mine, received it as a present together with the VTG turbo display when I bought my car back in '07.
