That color is the same color as the 911 in the movie "Cars"....

More of a Sky Blue - not as much silver or Blue as the Azurro Cali color...

Looks more silver than blue.

I'll keep my color - which BTW is actually a Ferrari color... ;-)

That's really pretty. It's nice to see the P in a more uncommon color scheme. It looks classy and sporty and the same time.

^ Dave: Thanks for sharing my work on TS here on Rennlist (where I don't post as much). For you guys who are interested, I also created threads on TS for all of the Reds, Greens and Yellows ever painted on a P car. Soon to come will be all the Browns (including golds and coppers) and Oranges. I have most of the pics collected for those colors but haven't had time to create the threads yet.

Greens: http://www.teamspeed.com/forums/997-...d-porsche.html

Reds: http://www.teamspeed.com/forums/997-...les-pinks.html

Yellows: http://www.teamspeed.com/forums/997-...d-porsche.html

BTW, after having looked at hundreds of Porsche colors, I have to say that Azzuro California is for sure one of the best looking that I've seen and definitely stands out among all the black, silver and grey cars that are so common. In fact, an Azzuro California 997 Mk II might be in the offing for my next P car.

I can attest that these are the definitive color threads for our beloved p-cars. The yellow is of course the best one. Strong work UBC,....please keep them coming.

My car will be on display for a Porsche event tomorrow night near Dupont Circle in DC. Not really outside the beltway, but it should be a fun event.

Teamspeed is a lot of fun: some great enthusiasts without all the BS arguments that you see here.
