Thank you sir, I was he!! bent on finding a blue one and didn't really want a tan interior and was not going to go red. I got what I wanted and am very happy with it.

The 2005 GT2 was the rarest at only 7 (5 in the US). I can tell you that there were 2005 Turbos that are not "S" but were manufactured in late 2004 (just like the 2005 GT2). I did a lot of research in 2006 and came up with the numbers I quoted you. Hard to tell exactly how many were M-Blue but not many. Red, M-blue, Yellow and White make up a very low % of 05 "S". If you ask PCA, they will refer you to me. I got the info from PCNA. We need a Germany contact. I have been working on that for the last 6 months.

I can tell you if it runs like mine does, it is faster than your X50 counterpart.

Cool, yeah a Germany contact would be sweet. There's no way all this info is not somewhere to be had.

But it's enough to know it's special to me, sappy as that may sound.

Being my first Porsche, I have no Porsche to compare to but am no stranger to high horsepower cars and I will say flat out it is a whole new level.
Absolutely a class of it's own, especially for a production car.

It is so fast and yet so visceral, you feel everything the car is doing and everything it's going to do, so many folks don't know what I mean by that but for those who do, there is no comparison. I am no pro driver, but I can hot shoe pretty well and tend to drive very hard when it's safe to do so, I have never "felt" any other car as I do this one.

I am only sorry I did not get one sooner.

I just can't stop grinning!

I'll shut up now, I'm starting to sound sappy. (again)

Very nice, the yellow is a good color too.

Not that any are bad colors, but we all have our preferences.

I like black but already have a Black Denali and a Black Harley, the Vette will probably end up Black too. So black was out, I don't care for silver, or grey, really do not like red, so that left blue, white or yellow. (that I was aware of)
Blue got the nod with white or yellow in second had I come across one.

Also, my mom is a blue freak and has always been a lead foot, so part of the blue decision was for her. She is semi retired and is my bookkeeper for my business (who better to trust?) so she gets to drive the car too. She took it out Fri for an errand and couldn't stop giggling.

Very much the iconic "lil ol lady from Pasadena"

Think "Mrs Doubtfire" in a Porsche! (who can hot shoe pretty dang well herself)
Except my mom is not really Robin Williams in disguise! LOL!

Car of interest is in my Sig line.

I've googled but have not come up with anything.

Surely there's a source out there somewhere?

What about the PCA? Email Porsche directly? Other ideas?

thanks
There's no 2005 in your sig. The CTS? Your in the wrong section. Otherwise you should've listed the car in question or not change your sig.
