Supposedly this one is for sale... but no contact info posted. It's SY - the colors on the website are way off.

I really don't want black, silver or gray. White would be OK but not preferable.

I love it in yellow, though I would personally prefer white. The miles/condition on this one look very good.

To be devil's advocate, if you are going to mostly "street" it, silver or gray is kind of cool. More peace of mind parking it (say shopping or movies) and won't be picked out of pack as much speeding. I know you say you never got a ticket in your old boxster, but I have a feeling this car will get you a few.

More and more, for a GT P-car, I can't find myself considering anything other than red, yellow or white. Their new blue is nice, but I'd only take it on a Boxster or vanilla/turbo 911.

There are a few GT3s out there in more rare colors (beyond SY and Guards Red) but mostly nothing interesting. They just built too few of them.

I did get one ticket in my Boxster, but that was due to my own stupidity. No tickets in the Vette.

I just don't think the soft, kind of bland lines of the 986 / 996 look good in gray, silver or black.

Agreed. The only exception is the 996TT becasue it has so many vents, slats, and a wide fat rear end with a wing.

Yeah, the 996 TT just looks fat to me. I guess because it is.
