OT: A grey (dark silver?) GT3 RS drove by me yesterday and damn, that's an exotic looking car. Totally wasted outside of a track, but it sure looked cool.

I bet that can get up a leaf covered driveway. :lol:

Wow you can get 997.2's for that. I might have to include those in my search. That's a nice car.

I have that same style of wheel on my Boxster. Pretty rare option on them, maybe not so rare on the 911?

Nice car and nice price, though black over tan doesn't really work for me. Reminds me of when I see the accounting guys at work wearing black socks with brown shoes :ack: :lol:

I was going to comment on the wheels too - no they are not common. Those are the "autox famous" XRR wheels are they not?

I have only ever seen those wheels on 987's a and never on a 911. This is the first time.

They have to be larger in the rear then the Boxster version I assume.

what interior color would you get then? Not sure if I would want black on black. grey shows wear like brown so a wash. Red?

I like black on tan/brown, but I just think Porsche's tan is too light. I wish it was darker, like the old E46 Natural Brown. I like that reddish-brown chestnut color interior BMW sometimes offers too, not sure what it's called.

Weird. I don't see many 997s, but when I do those wheels are frequently on them. I'm sure they're a different size

I think they were XRR on the earlier cars, but the 987.2 had them as a "standard" option. They are 19x10" rear and 19x8.5" front.

Well, I'd never intentionally buy a black car because my detailing skills are lacking, but yes, black over black looks a lot better to me. Red looks gaudy to me.

What's wrong with black on black :toetap: ??

It's funny right now 4 out of the 5 cars I have are black ... 2 of them are black on black (991 and R8) and 2 of them are black with a light tan though the 550 is almost like a whitish tan called ivory white. I think all of the combos look great.
On the sports cars the black on black fits them perfectly though my 997 was black on tan and I thought that was beautiful as well,

I guess I'm not quite as picky as some here I was just happy at the time to find a 997 with super low mileage (6k) in Perfect condition.

My favorite combo would have been the black/black which I have on the 991 but with that car I was able to order it exactly the way I wanted it from the factory.
