I've been watching this thread and keep changing my mind. In the same boat.....I'm lucky to get an allocation but no luck at PTS. I was leaning towards GT Silver but it is all up in the air. Need to decide soon, order locks next month. Leaning towards Lava right now but that could change when the next photo is posted. I like them all.

Totally agree, love the lava, but I see quite a few of them. Haven't seen the UV in person, but online looks really cool and GT Silver always looks good. I need to decide by tomorrow and have changed my mind 10 times lol

Just in case you're still thinking about GT silver. (Photos by @fredericschlosser. He does some really amazing work, including photos that have been featured in a Porsche Classic calendar.)

RL has turned into 6speedonline.com I remember when 6SO used to be awesome. Then it turned into diaper and wine talk and I moved on to RL where people were more concerned with lap times than wax drying times. That all being said, everyone enjoys their cars differently and there's nothing wrong with that. But RL has become full of Stephane's when we need more Bevin's

Lessthan3mph, exact point I'm making. Elegant and graceful...but somewhat subdued.
If you want low key presence, nothing beats GT Silver.

On the other hand if the opposite...lava.

The RS is awesome in either of the standard colors or the 2 optional colors (LO and UV)

UV is hot right now. LO is the launch color for the RS so in my mind its the classic 991RS color.

...and being entirely unbiased, the best color for this car!

It's about being on the edge and in your face. Imo, only one of the available colors does that justice...LAVA! That's what Mr Groer told me...I agreed!


One of the best pics yet.

You are a lucky guy.

I've seen the criticism of Lava. Have seen it in person, and really like it.

But really, can't go wrong, can't think of a color I don't like the car in.
