Hello,
I am considering buying a 2005 Carrera GT and cannot decide on colors. I think I like red and yellow the most, but am not sure. There is a 880 mile red car for sale at 370k from a private seller. Don't know of any yellow ones for sale that I love. I have seen a few of you guys get yellow ones that are all stunning, which makes me kind of want yellow. Thoughts?

I think the car looks good in all the (stock) colors. My personal preference is for GT silver or black. That said, this is one of the few cars that is so good to drive it is easier to look past the color.

I think I am going to try to get a red one. Have sent a few emails out so will see what prices are that come back. Are there any options on the CGT that make a difference when looking for cars?

IMO the quality of the car far outweighs the options spec (which were relatively limited anyway). The options I cared about were the car cover, and AC. For some the wider seat (XT) is important, and others the luggage set & navigation. Options were "no charge".

Yellow's the fastest color, but there are few of them. As you probably know, the large majority of them were painted in GT Silver.

Am not getting one. We can stop posting. Just found a car I would much rather buy for the price.

And what colour is it?

A red CGT? Or a yellow CGT? I wish I had these problems.

I am ordering it. When it is built it will be the only one. A few more may be built in the future. I plan to have the car always wrapped so color will not make a difference. I will try to do bare carbon with no clear coats, so it does not have the weight of the paint and wrap.

That should take at least couple of tenths off your lap-time.

It will not change the cost of the car, so why not do it... If you save a few pounds here and there, it adds up in the end.

LexVan

Wait. Porsche is still building CGT's?

Michael246

ordering the other car i decided to buy instead. read the post a few more up, "Am not getting one... Just found a different car I would much rather buy for the price."

They've stopped LFAs too. I wonder what it can be?

Michael246

I would never get an LFA.....
