Always had a hard time describing silver colored cars. Thanks you. That was a good way of doing it.

Silver-the color of forged steel, bullets and camshafts. Hard, cold and fast. High speed low drag.

I would have been looking at the camaro too.

if you have arctic silver, carbon body parts and black wheels almost becomes a necessity. Carbon hood definitely compliments.

I used to hate silver cars, till I found my Artic TT with techarts on it and was in love. Now I'm just impartial to them even though I love my particular car.

White is the best color for the TT. DMK's car is still the best looking (even in the shell) 996 TT I've seen on this site.

My order would be:

White
Black
Arctic
Seal
Cobalt
Red
Yellow


I refuse to own a red or yellow car.

As for which is the fastest, I guess we'll have to guess which between Tom Kerr (yellow) and Al Norton's (Arctic) would have been faster on the same day prior to Tom's full conversion.

Maybe we can get Al to go ahead and race his car out too.......

I don't like black because if you get the techart nose, you cannot see the detail unless you get close. Basalt Black is a better color. shows a little more detail.
