With people asking about GT silver, I thought it would be worth it to show how the color changes depending upon lighting. Here are two pics

Pete, as good as the photos are (and they are fantastic), the ride was better - Thanks for organizing!

All 3 GT4s are Carrara White Metallic... says one of the 3 owners who spoke to the other two.

thanks for the info on the CWM GT4's. i have one on order but keep going back and forth between it and the base white. i really like how the CWM has almost a subtle grey hue in cloudy weather.

Default AMAZING!!

Someone please wipe the drool from my chin. What a great gathering of GT4s and Spyders. I'm not sure how I'm going to survive the wait as mine isn't due until June. I'm in the great white north of Wisconsin so it wouldn't get much drive time in the next 4 months anyway so at least I have that going for me! Spec'd a Cararra White Metallic with Black Satin Wheels, LWB and red deviated stitching (among other options).

Wow.

Stunning photos of an amazing get together!

The red "12 o'clock" marker on the alcantara steering wheel.....how was that done? Looks good!

Thanks for sharing.

@PistolPete: thanks for the Rhodium Silver shots. I actually like the blue undertone.

"[GT Silver] Gives the impression of a solid piece of metal": this is exactly what I'm looking for!

@aualexa2: your night photo will be my reminder to why I should stick with GT Silver, platinum wheels and red seat belts.

Awesome pic, thank you!!!

I gotta bring my wife to the next meet so you can educate her on how to use her DSLR.
I just had a great idea! She could ride shotgun with you (and with me obviously so your car will be in the rolling pics) but she'll need to start with you to learn to operate your crazy high end camera. Hopefully she'll learn some tips on photography from you at the same time too. What do you think?!

I had this Silver/orange 2007 RS. Had some great times at Lime Rock with it. Sold to a fellow rennlister who "stole" it from me and it has appreciated nicely for him



Wonderfully raw but not as accessible on the street as the GT4. I am much happier with the GT4 in the end so it's all good.

That RS was my dream car back when I was driving a 987.1 Cayman S. I've had some drivers seat time in the 997.2 GT3 and there is no way to describe how raw those cars feel.

That photo idea sounds great. We just need to find an empty 4 lane road (2 in each direction) so that we can practice.

You don't even need to be going fast, 35 mph is plenty. We just need a busy background to show blurring. Ocean parkway in Long Island is perfect for this but there is no background except for blue sky.

Did any passengers take video yesterday? That would've been something to see with all our cars.
