I'm a girl and i think that the Green GT3RS looks the sweetest.Other colors such as Silver/Orange and White/Red makes it too.But still i prefer the green by far.

Have in mind that i am based in assumptions,as there are none GT3RS where i live.Also a Paint To Sample Riviera Blue/Maritime Blue would be beautiful And if you want to go the lowprofile route a Slate Grey Met would make it.

Yes, that's the one! The photography is excellent. You had other pictures that I liked even better; I think. But this one is really good also.

OK,

I have read everbodys posts and from what i gathered, this is how i now personally see color selections when potentially buying a RS.

1. A RS really is a special car no matter what color.

2. Black and Silver are colors used by those who normally would buy a silver or black car in any make or model due those colors being the most desired and acceptable in everyday use and look great on any porsche. Although the orange wheel option is a little strong, it helps seperates the RS from other porsches to keep it special as it should be.

3. Green and Orange are truly special colors as they most represent the RS past, present and future.
At the track, street or in a garage it is and will be the most heart felt colors when seen. A true collector or fan of the RS heritage would have one in either color as they are both true RS signatures and make the cars fun to own as they should be.

4. White has always been the staple GT3 color due in part to the popularity of the body in white CUP cars. Alot of GT3 owners who track their cars enjoy the same color on their GT3 as that of the factory racer thus opting for White. The GT3 for what ever reason has been a great looking car in white even to those who normally wouldnt buy a white car.The GT3 RS in white has this same appeal.

So now, if anything, it makes color decision even harder cause i now really apprciate all the colors even more!

RS is special no matter what is correct...

IMO, I would have it White with Red/Blue, old RS style...

In a dream world?

Cobalt blue with black graphics/wheels and accents, unreal.

CJ i think they are only 2 996 GT3 in the country at most.Here,even owning a 996 is a luxury.It is true we fill with $1,but while we pay the cheapest gas available car prices are another history,specially upscale ones.Porsche of Venezuela has never brought a 997 GT3/GT3RS for sale,as none one would be able to pay for it.The very few people who have the purchasing power to acquire one,would simply not as it would take major guts to drive something alike on our roads.Those people, would just buy the car,drive and keep it safe in Miami.
