That's exactly what everybody is obliquely referring to. The "420" name works on both levels.

^that's way too dark to be a standard color. It's not "normal" enough and very few would pick it IMO. It's a cool color but not something I see selling in mass quantities. If anything I really wish they'd ditch Racing Yellow and make the standard yellow something more like Speed Yellow.

My 2.7L Cayman is Racing Yellow and my 718 GT4 will be the same... It's still standard on the 992

Personally I am fine with RY, but for some reason the secondary market is not too kind to it, the 'best' deals (i.e. largest discount) I see on the GT4 and even the 991.2 GT3 are for RY cars.

Wish there were more reds, personally love "GTS Red" and I say it recently on the old gen Cayman, but reckon once again that will be reserved for a $12K+ PTS option....

I had a conversation with a Porsche cleaning lady and rear-wheel steering was mentioned coming for the new GT4. That's that first I had heard of this feature in the 718. Anyone else know about this or did I miss something... or fake news?

That would surprise me a lot. Cayman doesn't need it. 911 needs it to feel as agile as a Cayman...

Racing Yellow by itself looks ok until you see it next to the host of other yellows they've offered in the past/PTS options. It's too light of a yellow for me. I once saw a RY 991 with PCCB and the calipers are significantly more golden/deeper of a yellow that looks perfect. Speed Yellow matches the calipers very very well. Everyone has their preferences though. I'm not saying I wouldn't buy a Racing Yellow car if the deal was right but it would be near the bottom of my list for sure.

As a whole I wish they would give more color options standard like others have mentioned.
