Miami looks good in photos but I'm not convinced. I think chalk in person looks so damn good though, I almost hit a poll passing a caymen in chalk the other day. I can't wait to see a GT3 in that color in person.

Congrats and enjoy!
Thank you!

I would’ve loved SBM as well. My heart was with SBM or CR. When it came down to pull out the check book, I couldn’t do the white and I kept looking for a CR or SBM.

I chose carmine. Two years later and I still love it. You won’t be disappointed.

And just what, exactly, is wrong with white? Hmmmm? JK...everyone has different tastes. I "settled" for white...as many know, DBM was my first choice, but became unavailable for the second round of allocations. However, when I look at my car, I'm very happy with it, especially with the silver wheels. We are fortunate that the GT4 looks good in all the colors available. Imagine if we could have had more PTS availability, though, or just even more color choices, like Arena Red, or UltraViolet, or Amaranth Violet, or...etc etc etc. Enjoy your GT4!

ha you’re right, nothing wrong with white. I just wanted something different for once, and CR just spoke to me. My current 997 is white, as was my E92 M3, and my E46 M3, and my E36 M3... as well as my s2000.... haha the list goes on.

But you’re right on PTS. It would’ve been lovely to see some other colors!

Thank you. It was a local car in Cincinnati. Would you happen to know the owner? He was a PCA member.

Most likely would know the previous owner. PM the name and I'll let you know. I thought the background in your photos looked they were taken at Porsche of the Village.

Yup. That's what they said. Also sales consultant told me Porsche spent 16k to re-condition the car.
I don't know about demo cars.
